Thanks again, Mike - it's never too late to add to this thread.

Last I heard, he had sold it for cash and the engine has since disappeared. If anyone knows of its whereabouts, I'd like to hear from them. It's my guess that the OHC is by now bolted to a GP very similar, if not identical, to Mac's car. FOM (friends of Mac) have the V.I.N. of his car recorded, so any fakes can be identified in the future.

Now that Mac is gone, it really doesn't matter who owns that special engine, but I my opinion, its proper place should be in Mac's GP.

Mac's GP is currently part of his estate. I'd love to see this car along with its special engine as part of a future Mac McKellar display in the new POMARC.

Ive heard from a reliable source that the motor is in a private collection in the Waterford area.

was going thru some Smoke Signals from the early 1980's and came across this coverage of Mac's retirement party, by John Gunnell

For those of you who live in the Pontiac/Waterford area, a "Mac McKellar Memorial" car show scheduled for July 23rd. This show will take place at and is sponsored by the assisted-living complex where Mac spent his last few years.

The address is: The Inn on Cass Lake, 900 N. Cass Lake Road, Waterford, MI.

This is the same day as the Motor City Chapter's (POCI) annual car show at LaFontaine Buick/Cadillac in Highland, MI. These two shows are not very far apart, so doing both should be no problem.
