Scott was still preaching, but he’d also started up an auto dealership named Scott’s Auto Country in 1990 on the road leading to Kentucky Lake.
“I had just opened the car dealership up, and you know, when you first open up, the (cars) you buy, to you they’re like your babies, you might say. You go out and scout them out, and you find the exact car. Then you get it back to your car dealership and you put it out there where everyone can see it.”
One of the cars Scott brought back was a red 1984 Z28, sporty-looking but affordable, and known for its looks and power.
Unfortunately, one Saturday, he closed the lot at noon as was his custom, and took what was to be his last look at the red Camaro.
“I remember as I drove off that day, that car just looked great,” Scott said. “It just stood out, so I had it down there by the highway, on my first driveway coming in. When people came down the four lanes there, they could see it just perfect.
“I just wanted to show it off,” he said. “It was one of those type of cars.”
When he returned a day and a half later, he immediately noticed the Camaro wasn’t where he’d left it.
32 years later, it was found in the nearby lake, upside down nearly 200 feet from the boat ramp where it obviously entered the water.
