Ford Nationals @ Carlisle

[Don Rickles]

Anyone going?

I am.

The truck is loaded up with all the '64 TBird parts! I power washed and tagged over two hundred parts, at giveaway prices! Hope a vendor comes up and takes the entire load! I'm heading out early on Wednesday evening in hopes for a bite. If not, I'll stay til Friday night.

Looks like the weather will be super hot, so I'll pack up the awning tent to hide under.

Opened up enough floor space in the garage for another car!

If you're there, stop at spot G90 for a beer, on me!!

Wish I could make it but it's a crazy week here and wife just completed surgery to remove her thyroid.

It's only 1.5 hrs West of us here in Lehigh Valley.

Good luck to the honey!

We must be kinda close to each other? It's about 2+ hour run for me. Probably a little longer loaded with all this weight.

Some dude just asked for the entire interior! The seats alone sell for 1200/1500… I said 2k, then asked him to make an offer…… damn close but couldn’t close him….

Don’t worry, he’s walking around that place with the money burning a hole in his pocket, he’ll be back.

Its early, as a many time Carlisle attendee, if he is still interested and you do not want to reload that stuff to take back home you two will meet in the middle

That box isn't refrigerated.

How much for the tent?

You were right. He came back but, lost out of some of the best parts....Sold the dash assembly to one guy and rear seats w/ it's accessories (which is going into a custom 40's Mercury) to another guy. I actually made out better $$$ wise too.

All the big stuff went, except for the rear bumper. Several boxes of misc. small parts did have to come home....Bright side is most of these are tagged and priced. I can easily make a log, then try to and pander on some of the sites I guess.

All in all, it was a success. I was able to dump the parts and they're going to be used vs. sitting for another 25+ yrs.

My impression of the "Fords" National...it should be renamed, the "Mustang" National. Had to be over 90% Mustang related goods.

Yaddie, let me know if you need something for your car. You pay shipping only.
None of the chrome or Stainless trim sold FYI. It's a lot of metal!

A lot of years going to Vettes at Carlisle. As a member of the C5/C6 registry I always parked within 3 car spots at the top of the hill next to the flagpole!

If there was any breeze at that hot place that was the place to be!-

Windy! A small twister did come thru and lifted several awning tents! Destroyed them all, those folks lost their shade protection…..I had mine spiked down!

Good !

I was there in 07 when the fairgrounds and quite a few cars and vendors took massive damage.

We were coming back from dinner around Harrisburg to our motel and my 4 week old Z06 just missed being slammed by a runaway shopping cart at about 70MPH. If the car did not have that much acceleration I would have been hit amidships and that cart would have done a lot of damage. Saw the cart coming fast out of the corner of my eye and stood on the go pedal!

Glad you had a good time and sold some of your inventory!-
