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 dont know how to contact them but i would love to come as well =) even tho mine wont be 40 till 2015 =)
Phil,if you need help with the 40th let me know.I will help as much as possible.
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.
Harley, Phil...
I created this new board and made you both moderators...
Let me know how I can help this effort...
I might have my car ready by then...
Time to put the nose to the grind stone!
I never heard back from Rick.
Has anyone heard from him?
Bill
Anything??
Bill
Anyone??
Bill
I have heard nothing Bill..
I actually posted on their forum about this...
FYI
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 heard from them yesterday.They have been real busy.Either Phil or myself will get back with them soon.They are willing to work with us.As soon as we get more info we will let you all know.
Here is an update from there message board

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.
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??

Bill
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.
Bill
How about some INK in some magazines ? Would be nice to have our name mentioned some where.

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?
When is the date ? I Plan to start working on restoring my 78 crusing wagon this year.It wont be a show car , but a presentible driver.
June 2011 in Carlisle, PA. Hope to see you there!
Dwayne :smile:
My restore on my 78 crusing wagon has started!! Ill have it ready for the show.
Hope to be there with my 1973 V8 Pinchero hauling a trailer. BWB
Be there with my '72 Runabout! Can't wait
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.
-beegle55
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.
Looking forward to it. I am gonna do everything in my power to make sure she is all done.
i will be there i already scheduled time of work for it
hope fully there will be more than 1 bobcat there.
phil
Look at it this way Phil.. The parts I got off your bobcat will have yours there in spirit.
If I am done with the 78Hactch, It will be there, if not I will be there anyways. I am willing to help in any way I can.
Wish I could give you a firmer committment but, as of this moment, I would say I'm 90% certain I'll be there.
Dwayne :smile:
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.
Confirmed! I will be there! You can count on it. I will be offering any gopher services during the show you need, just ask.
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.
: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:
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.
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:
That sounds good to me, Jimmy!!! I'm certainly planning on being there!
Dwayne :smile:

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
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...
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.
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.
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.;D
See everyone there. (http://nomax.surrealartistry.com/Smileys/classic/jim.gif)
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?
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.
:D
Thanks Scott and welcome to the convoy!!
Carolina Boy,there is going to be a dinner.We have not worked anything out just yet,We will keep every one posted.
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.

Hey just tell your parents that you want to go to the 2011 show as a gruduation gift :evil:
I suggested a similar graduation gift to my son (also graduates 2011) - he was less than impressed :rolleye:
Dwayne :-\
Wow!!!! A trip to Carlisle for the 40th anniversary of the Pinto...that'd be the best Graduation gift ever....... Hope your son has fun...give him time...he'll come to love the Pinto too.... Look forward to seeing you all in Carlisle.
Larry :police:
Hey I will be there with bells on and i will have mt 75 wagon ready by then one way or another
Good day all,
It's been awhile since I've needed to post on our anniversary party. We're still a year and a few months out from the gathering so things are moving along at a slower pace right now. From other posts it looks like we'll be hard to miss at Carlisle 2011. In the last few days I've been contacting catering services in the Carlisle area. We're trying to plan for a pig roast for Friday evening for all to attend on the Carlisle grounds. More too come,stay tuned!
Well if I can get a wagon bought, I will be burnin up my vac days at 2011 Carlisle All Ford Nationals!!!! Gonna be a long trip but, what the hell.
Good Day all,
A important update for all of you. We are trying to get a third class set up with Carlisle Productions for the 2011 year show only,a Pinto race car class(maybe it will continue on after). It would include drag cars,SCCA race cars and any other Pinto used in "off road" events. So if you have one of these cars we are trying to let you know that you will be greatly welcomed to the 40th anniversary party,we need you to let us know that you want to do this!
Look out 2011!
Pinto1600
Pardon me for being daft, but what are the other two Pinto classes? Mine is unrestored but not necessarily an eyesore. I want to enter mine in the next couple months. I am going to be part of the Pinto Stampede if Ruby RedHot can make this trip! ;D

Unless I'm mistaken, the other two classes would be "Stock" and "Modified". Ruby is definitely stock.
Dwayne :smile:
If any Pinto members are in SE Ohio area, I am going to need some help in the next few weeks getting my '78 fully stripped, patch panels welded and the car put back together.
As it stands, the current plans are for Dad to tow my ride out I hope to be able to cruise around in it and then tow it home.
The question is, can I get the 302 swap done in time, with no budget and 1/2 the tools? :surprised:

Define SE Ohio area.. I can't recall where in Ohio you are at.
Sorry, should be Southwest Ohio. Dayton, I-75 / I-70 interchange.
I gotcha... When were you looking to get help with the car? Dayton is only about an hour or so from Columbus, so I would probably be able to help you out some.

I have been working on it a little every weekend. I was hoping it wouldn't have rained today, I could have primed the engine bay...
I gotcha. I work Saturdays but would prolly be able to come by on a few Sundays to help you out. Who knows, I might actually have my Pinto on the road, driveable by then. That would be a decent test for Carlisle.
