Andy Granatelli’s bust will be carved into the Mt. Rushmore of speed when it’s all said and done. The guy is a living legend. Anyone who dominated the the Indy 500 so hard that he earned the nickname “Mr. 500” is someone we have serious admiration for.

Through his storied career Granatelli had his hands into some amazing projects from race cars to street rods and everything in between. It seems he now wants to locate as much of that old stuff as possible. 

We received the following note from Mr. 500 and want to put out an APB to every BangShifter out there. Pass it along!

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 Corportion) 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. Please contact Andy at [email protected]

THANK YOU! Andy Granatelli
