When Wayne called me last week and told me that Ken had passed away I was dumbfounded. It seems like it was only a few months ago that we learned of his illness. Russ (se428bandit) and I were just talking about Ken a few weeks ago. I truly hate this for his family. I believe his three boys are all under the age of 17. Another passionate Pontiac person gone. RIP Ken.

Hey team,

Sorry to dig this post up, but i'm hoping someone might know what happened to Ken's 1977 Macho T/A. Ken owned 1977 Macho T/A #17, does anyone know if someone bought it with his other second gen parts?
