I met Al at the World of Wheels car show in Chicago in the early 80`s. He was judging my 69 Camaro pace car. After the show he asked if I would be interested in selling the car? I did end up selling him the car and delivered it to his house after showing it at the GM tech center. I also got the unbelievable car and parts tourat his house. We`ve stayed in touch ever since. I will miss him and that eye ring of his. George

R.I.P. Al. A true car guy and I always was blown away by all the parts he had stashed. Always fun to go to his house.

All --

Many of you may not know that Al's daughter Andrea Brenner (my sister) is currently fighting Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme brain cancer that was diagnosed in January. She has exhausted all of the traditional treatments and is going this Monday to start an experimental treatment in Houston, TX that we hope will work for her.

Unfortunately, her treatment up to this point has left us in debt and this experimental treatment is expected to cost us $65,000 a year in addition to what insurance will cover. So, I've set up a web site to help take donations towards her treatment.

I know times are really tough right now, but my sister is facing some of the toughest. If you can afford to donate, whatever the amount, it will really help us out.

If you would like to honor Al's memory by helping to save his daughter Andrea, please visit http://andreabrenner.site40.net

Thanks and God bless,
-- Dave

P.S. Also, please repost this to anywhere and anyone you think might be able to help! Thanks!

Al had the best of the best including the 68 Z28 convertible. The gun he had did not kill Abe Lincoln, it belonged to him. he did have the derringer that belonged to Doc Holiday with documentation, doc paid for his funeral with it.The Gun was inscribed to Doc from Kate on the handle. I wonder if there would have been so much skeptisism many years ago if everyone knew the black l79 Nova with 151 miles on it belonged to Al when Motown was brokering it for him.... He will truly be missed.
