Prayers for the Gore family. I first met Gene many years ago just before he opened Corvette World. Definitely one of the best car guys ever.
Our condolences. God bless you all.

My sincere heartfelt condolences to Linda and her family. I enjoyed many years of wonderful conversation and banter with Gene. I am very pleased that he no longer suffers in pain. I am sure that he is with Our Lord. A famous quote from Mr. Gore: “I don’t believe I have ever been this mad”. Rest well, my friend.
My condolences to my good friend’s family. Gene and I go back more than 40 years. I used to love reading his signs that he posted at his Corvette World location on Laurens Road. He was a true American Patriot and he loved putting the government officials in their place. May Gene rest in Peace and know that he made a difference in many people’s lives. He is already missed.
I am saddened to hear of Gene’s passing. You all are in my prayers during this difficult time.
My prayers goes out to Linda and family .I knew Gene for 50 years bought so many cars from Gene mostly Corvettes. Still have a Corvette I bought 2 years ago. He was a good friend and treated me great always enjoying talking to him. He will be missed GOD BLESS.
Please know all of you are in our prayers. Gene was an awesome man and my only regret is we didn’t see each other near enough. Rest in peace, Gene.

Gene was Family , if classic cars was your passion. But , always His Family was First. He is now directing A Classic Car Auction for God!
Gene was a friend for over 45 years. His quick wit and humor could match Johnny Carson any day. My prayers go out to wife Linda, his children and siblings and his dedicated associate Dave. You never misunderstood where Gene stood on any issue. I will miss him.
Our deepest condolences and prayers to all the Gore family and extended family and friends at this time of great loss.
Sincerely, Randy and Susan (Bishop) Massengale
Gene was the hardest working guy I know, both physically and mentally. Driving all over the south buying and selling as well as loading cars up on his trailer even early last year. His auctions required so much work as Dave and Gene always made those auctions an event one would not miss. Hats off to a ledged. His humor was one if a kind and addictive. 35 years of friendship and respect. I look forward to seeing you again and having more laughs Gene, but hopefully NOT SOON.
Just heard about Gene’s passing recently. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. He will be missed. Thanks for the memories. Never will forget our friendship for over 30 years. Now rest in peace.
