redmustangman3 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:37:58 AM »

Hi Emily: It depends; I have the black V8 71 for sale. If it sells before the show, I'll bring the wagon. If not, I'll bring the 71. Glad to see you are making the show- see yah there......Joe

If it sells, a stipulation of attending the show must be included.

Got my Flyer and am sending it back today. MYT XPLD will be there. May even have more work done. No promises on one color thru out the car though.

Hello fellow Pinto (and Bobcat) owners!

It's that time of year again; Fabulous Fords Forever time! This year, as you all know, is the 40th anniversary of the Ford Pinto and to commemorate this grand occasion the Ford Car Club Council as allowed us to display 10 Pintos/Bobcats in the invitation only area!

We have selected some cars to represent the Ford Pinto/Mercury Bobcat. We went for originality, period correctness, camp value and most importantly, the love that the car has been shown by their owners. I know we all love our cars, but the ones selected best represent the year they were built. We did not choose cars based on who has the most expensive paint job or the most horse power.

Here are the first and second choices. Please get back to me if you have been selected. If so, I need to know 100% yes or no that you will be there. That goes for the back ups as well. No cars are better than any one else's here.

And now, the list:

1971
Option 1: Jeff Rosen – 71 Half Hatch Green
Option 2: Brian Shapen - 71 Half Hatch Red
1972
Option 1: Pintony – 72 Wagon Blue
Option 2: A sprint? Any Ideas?
1973
Option 1: Brian Shapen – 73 Squire Wagon Copper
Option 2: Any Ideas?
1974
Option 1: Racer X – 74 Wagon Brown
Option 2: Original74 - 74 Pinto Sedan Orange
1975
Option 1: PintoZeal – 75 Sedan
Option 2: Any Ideas?
1976
Option 1: Beicholz - 76 White
Option 2: No idea
1977
Option 1: Skunky's 77 Starsky and Hutch Pinto, all Original
Option 2: Skunky - 78 Wagon (yes I know but I don't have any other 77's)
1978
Option 1: David Freedman – 78 CW Orange
Option 2: Any Idea?
1979
Option 1: Scott and Sandy – 79 Bobcat Orange
Option 2: Cutelilputtput t - 80 All Glass Orange
1980
Option 1: Pintopower – 80 Sedan Yellow
Option 2: John McLeod – 80 Wagon Orange
Note: Those of you who have been selected will need to reinstall stock or period correct wheels in order to be within the guidelines of the Ford Car Club Council.
As you can tell, there are some blanks. Please let me know if any of you have any suggestions. DO NOT POST THEM HERE! EMAIL ME! The final group will be selected by a man that attends all of the Ford Car Club Council Meetings and is the reason that we are so well loved. No its not me. If it was me I would've gotten into a fight with someone there by now.
Again, if you know of a good car that I may have forgotten, please email me and DO NOT POST ANYTHING ABOUT WHO SHOULD BE WHERE! Not to be…well… my usual self…but I do not want this thread to turn into discussion about this. Thanks you. My email is:
pintopower@hotmail.com
Thanks guys.

I spoke with Alberto yesterday, it seems I'm going to bring down the glass hatch 77 Starsky car. Can anyone email me a reg form?

Fred Morgan · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2011, 05:25:14 PM »

Mailed my form off today. Not finished with out side and still have all interior to do. Fred

beicholz · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2011, 02:29:49 PM »

Idea: Once we identify the Pinto for each year, can we line them up in order at the show, from 1971 on up? Wouldn't that be great to be able to navigate from the beginning to the (sad) end? We could have signs printed with the years all in sequence...

Fred Morgan · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2011, 11:08:30 AM »

Brad or Alberto any more info on this show such as Sears parking lot or maybe a place to park my hotel ? Fred

beicholz · « **Reply #17 on:** February 16, 2011, 11:34:50 AM »

FYI - Website (http://fordcarclubs.org/) has now been updated with registration form...and features 40th Anniversary Pinto on the very front page!

Pintopower · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:53:45 AM »

beicholz, that is the plan, 71 to 80.

I cannot get a '78 to the show guys. I can't even find a suitable '77 that I can fake into a '78. Does any one know of a car that we can use? Please email me at Pintopower@hotmail.com. This is important! Please email me soon guys! Thanks.[/color][/color][/size]

Fred, its the same deal as last year with the parking at Sears. As far as the Hotels, I cant tell you.

pintogirl · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:35:30 PM »

Ok, finally made my reservation for the Hotel today!! Got my mirror tag about a week ago. So I am all set. Even bought a new (used) truck so we don't have to borrow one!

Fred Morgan · « **Reply #21 on:** March 01, 2011, 11:24:48 AM »

Any 1 need parts let me know, FREE deliver to Knott's. Fred

Now I need to see if I need anything that I can afford...

PintoZeal76 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2011, 02:15:52 PM »

Finally received my mirror tag!
See you all in a couple weeks!

Emily

Pintopower · « **Reply #24 on:** March 25, 2011, 03:39:33 PM »

It is official, we have no '77 or '78 for the show in the Special Display area. I will try to get my sisters Runabout in but again, I still need ANOTHER a '77 or '78. Honestly, I will take anything at this point. Are there really none in California? Am I the only one who has cars that pass smog? Prove me wrong people! I dont care if the damn car doesn't run, if it's nice, I'll take it!

AGAIN, I NEED ANOTHER 77 OR 78 FOR THE SHOW! EMAIL ME NOW!

Good call. I might have found someone. I will keep that in mind.

Pintopower · « **Reply #27 on:** March 25, 2011, 03:56:18 PM »

Ok, we are all set for Carrows in the morning. PoFolks, sadly has closed down so I have no idea where we can meet after. If you have a thought, email me or Brad.

On Sunday we should all try to get to the restaurant by 7:00. It takes about 1 hour to get through breakfast and the other things we do at breakfast.

Sunday: 7:00 am meet at Carrows for breakfast and fun and games/give aways.
8:30 am caravan to the show.
3:00 pm show is over.
3:30-45 Any ideas?
Here is a link for the mapquest map to where Carrows is.
