The M6A was McLaren's first monocoque sports car. It was built with lightened steel bulkheads. It used aluminum and magnesium skins. The car differed from all other M6A's and B's having a 89" wheelbase. The car was very successful with McLaren winning the Can Am championship. The ownership is:

BMMR M6A-2
Denny's car was different than McLaren's in a few subtle areas. It had a four inch longer wheelbase and slightly different chassis design. The chassis was closer to an M6B than to Bruce's car. At the end of the season, it was used to test their ideas for the M8A. The rear pontoons were removed and replaced with steel tubular a-frames. They also installed a big block Chevrolet engine. After testing it was dismantled. Some of the bulkheads may have gone to Bob Jane's M6B. The car is being recreated in New Zealand from a few parts and permission from McLaren International.
Spare Tub
A spare tub was built but was unused by the team. It was sold to Penske who turned it into a car. Penske raced it in the 1968 Can Am and almost won the championship. This chassis was similar to Denny's M6A with a 93.5" wheelbase and also had some magnesium panels.
Team McLaren (unused)
Team Penske built the tub into a car and almost won the 1968 Can am championship.
