Promotion should be pushed hard. Mustangs get their respect, lets get our Pinto's the respect they deserve. I hope to be able to make the show with both the '78/'79.

BRAVO!!!! ENCORE!! ENCORE!!! You could not be any more correct. The previous owners of the Pinto are out there & they will appreciate the car being there.

Hi every one.This last Friday Phil,Pintony and myself were able to have a talk with the people at Carlisle.Hear is what they said,we need to get the Pinto community to start thinking about 2011.They will start there advertising some time next year for the 40th.They might do it sooner[i am not sure].They are going to give us a building to put some of our cars in.The size of this building depends on how many Pinto's will be there.It is up to us to select the Pinto's that will be in the building.We will decide that sometime next year.Phil and I have also talked to Ford and they are willing to help us with the 40th.If any one knows of any person that work on the Pinto's at Ford,like designers,engineers and so forth please get ah old of Phil or myself.So with that said I now need a list of who is going and a list of those that might be going.I know that this is early,but we need to get things rolling.If I have missed anything I hope Phil will let us know.So get your Pinto's ready and I will see you all in 2011.

Wish I could give you a firmer committment but, as of this moment, I would say I'm 90% certain I'll be there.

Good morning folks,
As Harley stated,we've laid the ground work for the 2011 Carlisle show. We talked with Rick Mako of Carlisle and John Clor of Ford SVT to figure out what we as the Pinto family need to do. This party is yours,mine and any one else who owns a Pinto,YOU FOLKS will make or break this adventure. Start planning now for your budget,lodging,transportation. We have a good group of people here and on related sites that are willing to lend a hand. But it's up to you to do your part and plan your vacation. As I've stated before in a earlier post we need people the help with the planning and execution of all aspects of this celebration. Two or three people will be overwhelmed,lots of hands make a light work load. I look forward to working with all of you to make this anniversary party a big success. We have the power and numbers to make this work,I'm very excited about the upcoming years!

Best regards,and God bless
Phil Reynders(Pinto1600)

I am willing to do what I can to help make the Pinto 40th a complete success. Please let me know what I can do to help. Like you said it is too much for a couple people.

Carolina Boy · « **Reply #40 on:** June 12, 2009, 10:30:28 AM »

Confirmed! I will be there! You can count on it. I will be offering any gopher services during the show you need, just ask.

pintoman · « **Reply #41 on:** June 12, 2009, 05:13:14 PM »

Hey Carolina Boy, see if you can get some more of the Southern Pinto owners worked up about coming up.We haven't heard to much from them about Carlisle.

PintoMan1 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 12, 2009, 09:24:14 PM »

:fastcar: I will be there for sure, infact I'll be there next year! Wasn't in the budget this year! I wish it could have been! But I was there and had a good time! Was good to see and meet everyone again!! And to see all the cars that were there!! :fastcar:

Carolina Boy · « **Reply #43 on:** June 12, 2009, 10:47:30 PM »

Pintoman, I will do my best, maybe a challenge of another Southern
invasion like Gettysburg :lol:.
Pintoman1, where are you coming from. I will be starting from just west of Durham,NC and going I-85 hitting, I think, I-95 in Petersburg.

71pintoracer · « **Reply #44 on:** June 13, 2009, 07:16:46 AM »

Count me in and most likely I will have Dwayne (dga57) with me with his fine steed! We will be heading north on 81-gitty-up!! :fastcar:

dga57 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 13, 2009, 11:59:55 PM »

Bill and I at ctpintobobcat. com and turbopinto.com will do anything we can to help.
The 40th anniversary at Carlisle was Bill Rainey's idea and he got the ball rolling on it... I see him doing anything he can to make sure that it is a total success.
I know I will.

Jim

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #47 on:** June 14, 2009, 04:16:14 PM »

Thanks Jim... This effort is not without workers and the many hours I know you put in on your site is aknowledged direclty here. It's going to take all of us to make this happen & I for one am willing to be a full fledged indian on this one. YEA! As you- I'm pledging resources here and anything I can give under the guidance of the planners. I'm hoping we can do some cool stuff together as sites- banding together...

r4pinto · « **Reply #48 on:** June 14, 2009, 07:13:51 PM »

I'm just looking forward to the 2011 Carlisle All Ford Nationals so we can have the biggest & best ford pinto meet ever! My car will be there, but if there is anything I can do to help I'm ready & willing.

I say we all should show our pride of the cars to both show non-believers that Pinto fans do exist, as well as showcase what people loved about the cars... Maybe even inform others on the explosiveness of the cars, or should I say, as to what caused it.

Carolina Boy · « **Reply #49 on:** June 14, 2009, 10:20:40 PM »

I have an idea but I feel I should ask permission. May I use the members map to make a list of emails for say NC, SC, GA, & Fla. Send out an email sort of a notification needing their support and presents.

fomogo · « **Reply #50 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:09:18 AM »

I had some family issues come up this year, so all of the work and support from turbopinto and ctpintobobcat was put in by Bill and Connie Rainey.
Those 2 are indispensable.
I will be hammering hard to help with the 2011 show tho.

See everyone there.

Jim

Scott, Pintoman, and Fomogo,

Check out the ad about the Southern invasion, 9 so far from NC,VA,&WV

Any plans yet on a dinner, awards or things?

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #52 on:** July 30, 2009, 12:34:10 AM »

Jim- love your animated Pinto.. SWEET!

CB- Get with Phil, Harley & Bill on an answer to your question. They are the planners, we are the worker bees.

I'm 'planning' to have a Pinto at this meet... I'm putting an engine in now (last weekend and not this weekend) in my Green Runabout... That's my goal and why you guy have not seen much fixes or changes to the site in a while...

Bringing up the rear from Alabama on the convoy to PA.

Carolina Boy · « **Reply #53 on:** July 30, 2009, 06:29:41 AM »

Thanks Scott and welcome to the convoy!!

pintoman · « **Reply #54 on:** July 31, 2009, 04:57:45 PM »

Carolina Boy,there is going to be a dinner.We have not worked anything out just yet,We will keep every one posted.

Carolina Boy · « **Reply #55 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:16:26 PM »

Phil, Harley, and Bill. Please get in touch with me. I would love to hear what you are planning and help if I can. I have almost a dozen Pintos ready to converge on Carlisle.
I am working on a tour of the Battlefield and the Ghost Walk.

I dont think I could make it, im on the wrong side of the country. But i'll figure out a way to contribute to it. Wanna know whats funny, I'm graduating High School in 2011. Guess it'll be a good year.

No cruising for me (not street legal), but I am planning to have the car there.
