Found it.

Race car driver Bobby Allison put two Allison 250's on his Aerostar (no family relationship that I know of). It's now welded on a stick to by the entrance to his race car museum in Alabama.

Because the 250 is mainly made for helicopters and has a low thermal rating, apparently it ran out of steam in the high teens.
