Wow talk about unexpected bad news. Ken seemed on his way back to his old self at the garage night. I'm certainly glad I had the chance to visit with him then. He was a very special person who's loss will be genuinely mourned. Keep the rubber on the road and the sun in your eye, adios old friend you are already missed. He and his partner Keith Cornell were both avid Y-Block guys. The car pictured took one to over 150 on the Ohio mile. A true hot rodder of old.

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Chuck.  Thanks for sharing.  That’s the first I have heard of this and definitely caught me off guard.  My condolences to both Ken’s family and the Rolling Bones family.  I will miss him for sure and Bonneville will never be the same without him.  Found a lot of pictures of Ken in my files and here are some that portray the essence of him.

Rest in peace Ken.

I never had the privilege of meeting the man, but I certainly knew who he was. My heart goes out to his family and all of his loved ones. I am sure he will be sorely missed.
