The following message was received from Andy Granatelli on July 1st ‘09.
I am looking for the following items for my Hall of Fame Museum, which will open late this year in Auburn, Indiana. I need information on anything; speed equipment, or cars built by Grancor Automotive Specialists (Granatelli Corp.) like Ford Flathead motors, heads, manifolds, etc. Also looking for any racecars I owned or built, including Indy Cars, street rods, Bonneville cars or a Fordillac. I would like to have any information on the whereabouts of any of the above. I will consider a loan, a donation or I will purchase the items. No matter what, I would like to know what’s out there.
Thank You. Andy Granatelli
