2014 Pinto Stampede!
« on: December 18, 2013, 09:54:59 PM »
Yes, it is that time again!  Time to start talking about the next Stampede.  This Stampede will be a little different, it will be a pilgrimage from all directions converging on the Pinto Holy Land.
Yes people we are going to Dearborn the home of Ford itself, and we are going in style!
Friday July 18th we will attend the very exclusive Ford Employee Car Show.  This show is not for everyone and registration is limited to invites and the Stampede has been invited!
The likes of Jack Rousch, Bill Ford and other notable Ford icons attend this prestigious car show, this is a once in a lifetime event for Pinto owners.
With the Henry Ford museum and other attractions within walking distance, their is plenty to do and see.  This is only the first post, more will come and other things will be posted to do on Saturday and Sunday, they are all ready in the works.
If you are seriously interested in coming on this trip, email the trail Boss, Norman Bagi at bosspinto@pintostampede.com and get on the mailing list. 
See you on the road.  ::)

When first reading about these Stampede meets, I wanted to go.

Still do.....but when I got taken to the cleaners on my engine build , it put me years behind.

Maybe one day / year.

I see some questions and will try to answer them.  Hotels are not selected yet, we will reserve a block of rooms based on how many it will appear will be attending.  This will give some room for changes but we have to have an idea before looking for good rate.
The end location on this one is also the starting location.  Dearborn!  We will start at the Ford Employee car show, I plan on having a drive (or stampede ) on Saturday and possibly another car show on Sunday.  In between events will occur, the henry Ford museum, Rouge assembly plant, etc.  Lots to do and see here I stopped in and checked it out on the way to the 2013 Stampede.
And NoForkin, bring that Pinto come hell or high water, jack Rousch is supposed to be there and you may be able to bring him over for a visit with that Dragster Pinto.  I also would like to see that thing parked next to Racer Walsh for a full effect of Pinto performance on hand. So hopefully you both can make it.
Once again, just to be invited to this show is an honor and a privilege, especially given the Pinto's past press. Doors have been opened, lets make a good showing and represent.  We have 19 so far signed on, with a total of 30 allowed right now. If interested please contact me at bosspinto@pintostampede.com

Latest information on the stampede events.
The Ford Product Development Truck and Car Show is July 18, 2014 at the Ford Product Development Center in Dearborn, directly across from Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum and the Ford test track. 
There should be between 400 and 500 cars in attendance.  You will be provided with a pre-printed owner card (with detailed information if owner provides it), laminated color calendar of each participant’s vehicle (sent out several months after the event), goody bag which includes a window cling and dash plaque, as well as a raffle (~50 prizes; one entry per car) and a low-cost ($5) all-inclusive barbeque lunch.  All but the lunch are provided free of charge.  the event is located right across from the Village, so many out-of-town participants visit there after the show.

In general, they want a variety among the Pintos which are attending, but if someone is interested in attending, that should not be the limiting factor.  Assume a maximum of 30 cars for now.  We should have Phil's 1972 showing in their feature row of the Mustang story to introduce the Mustang II years describing how the Mustang II came out of the Pinto. For those who don't know how clean Phil's Pinto is, he should out show all the Mustangs. All other Pintos will be in their own area.

They are also looking for Mustang IIs.  Please let me know if you know of any which still maintain stock appearance and if they would be interested in attending.

Thank you,

Truer words were never spoken!  Phil's Pinto is about as close to perfect as they come. 

As to the variety thing: my Pinto is a gold '72 Squire wagon with brown interior - all original.

You're right, Matt... I sold my brown sedan and acquired my current Pinto in early 2013.  It's not perfect, but it's very nice.  It was one-family-owned until I bought it and has a documented 67,000 miles!  I may try to get to Carlisle with it in June... not sure yet.  Am definitely planning to take it to Dearborn in July.  Can't wait!!!

Yeah, I'm stoked about Dearborn since that is a trip I know I can make. Who knows, Carlisle may happen for me but not entirely sure yet. Dad & I still have to push the 80 to my house so we can drop in the engine from the 77.

So you're definitely in for the Stampede?  That's great!  It will be good to see you again!  I'm still iffy on Carlisle - will have to wait and see.

How are those Brief's doing for you? Do we need to have another made up and ready so you can bestow the 'privilege' to a new unsuspecting attendee? he he... ;)

That's about how far I am from Carlisle!  I'm approximately 560 miles from Dearborn so probably 9 - 10 hours.  I am going to trailer the Pinto due to the fact that my wife is coming with me and is concerned about its lack of air conditioning and how comfortable she'll be.  She's in poor health and the trip will be difficult enough for her riding in a modern, air conditioned vehicle!  She wants to come though, and I always encourage her to get out whenever she can.  I am currently trailer shopping.  Haven't towed anything in years (used to pull a travel trailer about 30 years ago) so thought Carlisle might make a good practice run for me before starting out to Dearborn.  We'll see.
