I just became aware of this after reading a few posts where they said things like " We wish we could ask Terry." So I did some looking and I see he passed away so unexpectedly. I dealt with him once where he actually contacted me to buy a part he needed. He was very nice and very helpful and informative. He offered a price and I said 'sure.' he sent a check right out and I had no qualms about accepting since he had a pristine rep.
The name 'Ritter' means 'Knight' in German. Terry was the KNIGHT of the Firebird for sure! God bless you man, and best wishes and condolences to the survivors in his family. )-:

Both numbers matching. My first love was a Cameo White 67 326 Coupe, bought back in 1983, at the age of 17, for $1,200. Been hooked since on PONTIAC!
