<VV> Remembering Ed Gridley with a Barn Sale

[Paul Fox]

With the Hoosier show coming up Betty Gridley often will be there. Maybe that's a good time for the sale or get together. Has this idea been run by her son Mike?

It has been about six years since Corvair Enthusiast and 
Circle City Corvair Club member Ed Gridley passed away. 
There is still a bunch of parts in the barn down in 
Franklin, IN (just south of Indy) and I am floating an 
idea for a Barn Sale to help the family out. They would 
really like to see the parts get back into the hands of 
enthusiasts. Many of the parts are for Corvair FC's. There 
are some car parts as well. There are even some NOS parts 
still in the original GM wrappers.

There are only two Corvairs left in the barn. At one time 
Ed had 47 Corvairs on the property! The two that are left 
need some help and a lot of help. One is a 1960 700 sedan 
that is best used as a parts donor for another Caveman 
Corvair. The other is a 1965 Monza Sport Sedan with 
factory A/C and a tele steering column and wood wheel. The 
car also has bumper guards, factory mag wheel covers and 
it came with a remote outside rear view mirror on the 
driver's door. The mirror has been changed but some of the 
hardware remains. Mrs. Gridley used to drive the '65 and 
it did drive itself into the barn many, many years ago.

The date I am thinking about for the Barn Sale would be 
October 20th or 21st. If there is enough interest the 
family would welcome Corvair enthusiasts on the day of the 
sale. I have a couple of key Corvair folks in mind to help 
me with this idea. What do you think? Post here or PM me 
with any input plus or minus. Thanks!! - Caveman Pete
