Good morning all,

I've just emailed the events cooridinator at Carlisle about planning the 40th anniversary of the Pinto. I've expressed my desire to work with them and our club leaders to make this birthday extra special! I'm hoping that all our club members will contact him and express thier willingness to make this happen! We've got 2+ years to organize and pull together for the best D#@* party ever!!!!!!!!!!! :happy_bday: PINTO

That would be awesome!! Heck, by that time I would be out in that area, and may even have the car close to presentable!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, that would be really cool, I think that with all of the attention our cars have been getting lately, by that point it could be a real draw for the show itself.

WOW, great minds think alike....

I called him earlier today and left him a voicemail. Yes, I did drop Bill Miller's name.

Please let me know how things go with your email, and I will post about my contact as well.

Bill

I'm gonna have mine there one way or another. It'll be cool to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the Pinto there. If they need more of us to contact them about it count me in, if I knew who to contact that is.

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2008, 08:27:23 PM »

I have heard nothing Bill..

I actually posted on their forum about this...
FYI

77turbopinto · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2008, 08:09:00 AM »

Thanks Scott.

I never heard back from my attempt, but I did not pursue it because others were.

Did anyone else hear anything (or not)?

Please post what is going on (or not) soon, this event will take years to put together and we need to stay on it.

Bill

I love that flying Pinto. Too bad she crashed.

We're going to do something with Pinto's in 2011, so if anyone can
find, build another flying Pinto, or design a Pinto hot rod, it has a
spot here in 2011! Let's see the creativity from our Pinto fans.

Great work everyone, thank you!!

Bill

OK folks I need some help.I have a inside source at Ford.He says that he wants to help celebrate the 40th anniversary with us.I need some input on what Ford can do for us in 2011.I don't think Ford will put out for a car hauler,it would be nice but who knows.So please give me your idea's so that i can get back with him.

75bobcatv6 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2008, 05:25:41 PM »

Well teh Hauler would be nice but I doubt we can get that, Maybe they can supply some Collectables or something, Memrobelia (sp), Shirts that say 40th Anniversary of the pinto on them. Trinkets or Keychains something along those lines, Maybe even show their support in other ways.

Parts reproduction??

What I meant was them helping, maybe with selling of any tooling or blueprints; that sort of stuff.

Thanks to Harley and Phil for doing the work needed to make this happen.

That would be freaking awesome! Make them realize the Pinto is more popular than they would have imagined it could be.

It is not too early to have 40th anniversary tee shirts and we could promote the event by wearing the shirts at swap meets. I would sure buy one! Any one else interested?
