There's an old saying that there are no secrets in a small town.  But that's not the case in Grunthal.  Three months ago Cliff Bakx and the local car club spearheaded a secret project to restore a 1991 high performance Ford Mustang.  The car is for 29 year old Tracy Wiens, who has cerebral palsy.
After about $20,000.00 in donations and nearly 300 man hours, the finished product was unveiled Thursday night.  Wiens tells us it was quite possibly the best day of his life and admits the gift came totally by surprise.  Bakx says Wiens is a very special individual who has touched the heart of so many people.  Wiens would like to thank the two hundred-plus people who showed up Thursday and everyone else who played a role in this gift.
