It is with a heavy heart that I share the somewhat sudden passing yesterday of my longtime friend and car collecting mentor Gary McKay. Gary was a very passionate and knowledgable collector who had one of the most impressive collections of American musclecars assembled and also a number of custom hot rods that were executed to his vision and standards. I’ve known Gary since the late 1990’s when he came into the shop I worked to look at a car, and we’ve been friends ever since. I was fortunate to live vicariously through his collection all these years and share some really great moments. He was a hands-on collector who managed his own collection until the very end. A good guy who will be missed by all of us who knew him and our hobby will be poorer with his absence.
