I heard back from Carlisle event manager.They can't give any details for the 2006 show until this fall.From what the survey shows Carlisle is a go.Hey Scott need a little input on this.I do believe that i have there attention about Pinto's and Bobcats.With that in mind i think we can actually have at least 25 to 30 Pintos and Bobcats at next years show.What we really need is to have 1700 plus cars there to make a statement that Pintos and Bobcats do count.This would probably be only time that many Pintos and Bobcats would ever be together since leaving the factory.A lot of wishfull thinking on my part.But it would be nice.

Harley,

Great, let me know closer to the fall what we need to put together to get everything going.
1700 Pinto would be a great showing but as many years as Tony, Brad, Greg, Jeff & I have been a part of the "Pinto Movement on the net I have never seen that much intrest 'SUSTAINED' at any given time.

Realistically, based on my convictions, we should shoot for 30-35...

I will put in every effort to support your's & everyone's goals as defined with this site for the Car Show...

1700? wow would that not be incredible?

Pintony · « **Reply #33 on:** June 16, 2005, 07:55:57 AM »

1700 Pintos at the 2006 carlisle?

?
I think you guys have your decimal point in the wrong place!

Glad to hear you guy's did not have 3 days of rain this year.

Count me in. I'll be at All- Ford Carlisle next year. Of course with the Cruiser.

Some day, let's meet in Phoenix or Tucson, AZ. I can almost guarantee that it won't rain on the weekends. don

pintoguy76 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 16, 2005, 10:49:25 PM »

If we do a midwest thing...like St. Louis or Tulsa.....you can count me in for sure. My old 76 pinto isnt perfect but its not too bad for all original...

you need to reserve a aroom or rooms as soon asÃ‚Â possible, because it gets real packed at the nationals.Ther e is a new Best Western in town that might have more rooms available that weekend.

Are you still allowed to pitch a tent beside your car?

You have to pay extra for camping at Carlisle now if your in the show field I believe. Check there site.www.carsa tcarlisle.com. They got you coming & going. But it is a great run show. Lots to see. I've been to ever Ford show & all the Spring & Fall shows since the mid 70's. This year with my Pinto Cruiser & all the other Ford shows with my old Boss 302. Old as in sold it. It would be a great place to have a Pinto gathering. (PARTY)

Grettings friends,

I and my son were driving across country and stopped and met the fellows in Pigeon Forge. It was awesome. I now have an enclosed trailer and just finished a trip to Dearborn to the Henry Ford Motor Muster car show. I was one of two feature cars looking for interest in 1974-1976 cars. This was the 20th year for this show in Greenfield Village, approx. 600 cars and I was the first Pinto they have ever seen! My baby is light on her feet now (has a nice home in a new trailer) and we will be hitting the road more now.

I have seen some interest about a midwest show and a few mentions of Tulsa. I live in Tulsa and will do all I can to help organize anything I can for you guys and gals. Are you interested in an all-Ford meet, as is Carlisle? We have one the first weekend in June. We also have a 1200 car show in February, probably too early in the year for most to travel. Are you interested in just FordPinto.com members getting together? Maybe we can explore the local Ford dealerships sponsoring something. Let me know what you think.

I vote for June-August for a 2007 show because in Feb, it is just to slippery of a drive (unless you are in the snow pinto!!) and I will be driving, not hauling, my baby to Tulsa if we can set up a show there. We sure have a lot of members. I think it would be darn cool to put together an all pinto show. How about the rest of the gang? Looking forward to the trip from Washington State! Guys/Gals...can you imagine if we could get 500 or even 1000 pintos together in Tulsa? I think we can do it! Already coming up on 1800 members!

Tercin · « **Reply #43 on:** July 06, 2005, 03:23:01 AM »

I am in St Louis about 7 hours from Tulsa, You could count on me to bring my 73 as long as I have enough lead time. For those of you lucky enough to live out west or up in cool Washington state just a word of warning Tulsa in the summer will be HOT and STICKY. Should be neat to get a bunch of Pintos and maybe even a few Bobcats together.

pintoman · « **Reply #44 on:** July 06, 2005, 04:55:41 PM »

I can be in Tulsa in 07.Just need info and times.An all Ford meet or all Pinto meet will be fine.I'm still working on the Carlisle meet,should have some info this fall.Yes 1000 Pinto's in one place would rock.The locals wouldn't know what hit them with that many Pinto's.

pintoguy76 · « **Reply #45 on:** July 09, 2005, 02:26:31 PM »

I'm about 2-3 Hrs from Tulsa, in Springfield Missouri. Every year about may we have a LOT of hot rods in for some kind of show. Every hotel in the city is booked at that time. Never seen any pintos by i may drive thru there with mine next year, and ill definantly go to a pinto meet if its in tulsa or somewhere withinn 5-6 hours of me....maybe even further than that

Ill try and keep up with what goes on and let you all know more

By the way.....my pinto isnt exactly show quality, but its not a huge rust bucket either...there s not just a whole lot of rust on it... thatd be okay to bring to a pinto meet wouldnt it? it does still have its originaly shiney copper paint, interior is kinda rough, especially the carpet, its gone on the drivers side front and rear....becaus e there are a bunch of little rust thru holes on the floor pan (can be fixed with a new floorpan).

Hi Folks:

HereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s my two cents on the subject.

I think Branson Missouri (www.branson-missouri.com) would be a great place for one of our annual meetings for the following reasons:

1) Middle of the country so both east and west folks can get here.
2) Branson is a great place to bring the family.
3) Have the meeting in early May and the weather is beautiful.
4) There are near-by lakes.
5) There is Silver Dollar City for the kids.
6) There are many outlet malls for the spouses.
7) Over 350 restaurants.

Over 40 theaters.
9) Campgrounds and RV parks.
10) Close to Springfield, MO where Bass Pro Shop is located.

I have no problem with Branson, go there every year. You are right about it catering to everyone's needs. Any of the places we've mentioned in the midwest like Tulsa, Branson, St. Louis are centrally located in the US. If anybody was going to commit to a midwest gathering, any of these places would work well. We have plenty of time to plan. Great idea!

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #48 on:** July 09, 2005, 08:26:20 PM »

Branson,

I like that idea....

My boss has been trying to get me to go there for 3 years now, he goes every year for a week vacation & loves it.

As much as I think the All Fords Show would be FANTASTIC, are we ready yet? Do we have the participation yet & the quality & quantity of cars to make a GOOD showing at this venue?

Would it be wise to 'build' on our successes & approach the ford show when our group is ready?

Not that I'm 'dissing' our current plan, I'm just a little re-Focused...

Comments?

And how about a big centerfold picture in the middle of Hot Rod Magazine, it will be called "The Pinto Power Tour"

sagesunrise · « **Reply #50 on:** July 10, 2005, 12:35:30 AM »

Well I am new to all of this but not new to the pinto love. I personally don't have a problem with participation of all pinto's restored or not. I think it would be neat to see them all together and to mingle all together. I would think the show might not just be for show to the public, but show to each other so we can see each other's pinto's in different stages of being fixed/driven/raced, etc. There is something unique about every pinto whether it is rusty or not. Just my opinion.

pintoguy76 · « **Reply #51 on:** July 10, 2005, 02:18:44 AM »

Branson is an excellent location. Im about 35 miles from there (in springfield). It is exactly as 77pintocw says. Branson itself is alot of fun. Add a bunch of pintos and you'll really have a good time.

sagesunrise · « **Reply #52 on:** July 10, 2005, 02:49:40 AM »

The other good thing, Scott, about having all pintos in all condition at the show is that we can get ideas from one another on how we want to make our pintos. For example, I want to put on a different air cleaner cover and would like to see what others use. I think all of us can appreciate a pinto, whatever condition it is in. They ALL make me smile!

pintoman · « **Reply #53 on:** July 10, 2005, 09:13:51 AM »

The nice thing about most all Ford shows is any Ford in any condition would be welcomed to the show.Yes most of the cars that attend are nearly perfect.At the All Ford Nationals at Carlisle there were hundreds of Ford's that were so so.But that didn't matter,people were still looking at them.I go to shows and look at all the cars because you just might find an idea that you might want to use on your ride.If most every one wants to do the second annual get together next year somewhere else that would be fine by me.We still have time to get organized,i will still work on the Carlisle event until i hear otherwise.What s important is as a group that we agree on where to meet.I like the Carlisle idea and the Branson idea.So every one let us know where to hold our next event.

Tercin · « **Reply #54 on:** July 10, 2005, 03:37:40 PM »

I think I may be selfish but the Branson idea works best for me. It is not to far from home and would be an easy sell to the wife.

sagesunrise · « **Reply #55 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:02:52 PM »

I think the Branson idea would work for me. Pretty much the same driving distance, just more East than South. A long trip, but would be a nice vacation and what better way to spend it than surrounded by my favorite cars in the world!

Original74 · « **Reply #56 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:49:38 PM »

I don't think the Branson idea ever came up to replace Carlisle in 2006. Someone once metioned St. Louis, Tulsa, somewhere in the midwest for 2007. Then Branson was suggested because of its diverse interests and attractions. I believe it is the consensus of the club for Carlisle in 2006, but we can do both for those hwo can't travel so far east. How about one of those votey thingies Scott? What's the gut feel out there for the big 2006 meet?

PS. Hey Scott, since I know you are watching this post, will you personal message me about a Pinto Registry? I have such a passion to get a registry going. Of the 1800 folks registered on this site, it sure would be nice to know how many and of what year and model were still out there. Thanks man, hope you are high and dry!

Boss2300 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 10, 2005, 09:11:12 PM »

Carlisle 2006 & Branson 2007 gets my vote. Just don't make tha Branson meet the same date as Ford Carlisle in 2007 which is allways the 1st wknd in June

sagesunrise · « **Reply #58 on:** July 10, 2005, 10:01:30 PM »

I agree with Boss2300. I won't be able to make 2006 but if we can plan for Branson in 2007, I'll start making my plans for it! I also would LOVE to see the registry take place. That is such a kick a** idea!!

77pintocw · « **Reply #59 on:** July 11, 2005, 07:49:01 AM »

Hi Folks:

How about this idea?

2006 - Carlisle, PA - East U.S.
2007 - Branson, MO - Middle U.S.
2008 - California??? - West U.S.

The idea being that we rotate the meeting place for a region (east,middle,west) every third year so members
would have a higher probability of attending one of the gatherings.
