Terry was an auto mechanic in 1955. He worked at the Western Auto store in downtown Hill Valley and fixed Biff Tannen's car after Biff's collision with the manure truck. When Terry mentioned that the bill was $302.50, Biff got angry and refused to pay it.
Sixty years later, Terry was seen in 2015 raising money to preserve the clock tower as a historic landmark. Like the Clock Tower Lady of 1985, Terry approached Marty McFly for a donation. Marty, who had traveled there from 1985, was surprised to learn of the outcome of the World Series. When Terry mentioned that he wished that he could go back to the beginning of the season to bet on the Chicago Cubs, he inadvertently gave Marty the idea to purchase Grays Sports Almanac.
