Mac McKellar passes
 

It is with great sadness that I must mention that Malcolm "Mac" McKellar has passed away.

Our mutual friend Jeff Denison just called with the news that Mac had passed during the night.

In deference to Mac's wishes there will not be a funeral, but we will probably have a small gathering later on. I can let you all know once those arrangements have been made.

Rest in Peace, Mac - and thank you.

Although I never met Mac, I've read about all of his contributions to Pontiac performance, especially in camshaft design. A true, die hard Pontiac enthusiast. He will be missed by all. RIP Mac.

RIP Mac!
lost another great this year

I just found out from Jeff that Mac is gone. Mac was a good guy and a good friend. Smokey Yunick called Mac the best cam man in the business, and Smokey would know!

I'm sure that the "Lunch with Mac" bunch will have a final get together to hoist one in Mac's memory.

Another irreplaceable piece of Pontiac history and knowledge is gone forever...RIP Mac.

Sorry about the loss of Mac - a Pontiac Legend .

Sorry to hear of that.
:(

RIP Mac.

Very sad news. It was my first HPP magazine that had him and his Grand Prix in it.

My condolences.

Rest In Peace Mac.

to the best engineer out there may you rest in peace ..

Ditto
 

:( Sorry to hear this.

Keith, from our dealings with the genteman who bought one of his GP's on the west coast, I know you were good friends with Mac. He seemed liek a good man based onwhat I read.

RIP Mac

We first met Mac at the POCI Convention in 1996 when we debuted the Grocery Getter. He came over to inspect the car. He quietly scanned all of the details while we waited. He finally got to the front fender. The original GG had "405 HP" lettered on it. We had updated ours to say "405+ HP". He looked at us, smiled and said "I like that." It was a cherished moment for us to have an icon like that approve of our project.

There is a saying that you are not really gone until everybody who knew of you is gone. In that regard, Mac will be with us for a long, long time.

He is someone that i wish that i had met. Myself being a Pontiac nut he was one of my hero's,RIP Mac.

Darn. The "answer man" of vintage Pontiac engineering gone. I'm glad he spent some telephone-time with me back in the eighties, while he was still "sharp".

Sad News Indeed.
 

He was a great engineer and part of the driving force behind the Pontiacs of my passion. OHC equipped!

I too was one who would have treasured a meeting with him but never had the opportunity.
Sadly he will be another Great One lost.

I've always wanted to meet and talk with John Z, Bill Knafel and Mac.
but never had the chance.

Rest in Peace.

Sad to hear this, but we're all not getting any younger.

Condolences to Mac's family and friends.

Thank you, Mac...for all of your years of dedication to what we love...Pontiacs.

RIP
