[Shotimes] Need nice SHO for Carlisle Display

[Donald Mallinson]

Anyone with a nice STOCK Gen I SHO in the PA/East Coast area 
please listen up:

The Carlisle All-Ford Nationals is looking for a nice Stock 
Gen I SHO for display during the event May 30- June 1st.

Here is the notice from the guy that contacted me:

Hello,
 >
 > My name is Mike Kelsch.  I am a new Event Manager for 
Carlisle Productions in Carlisle, PA and I am looking for a 
nice, stock appearing Taurus SHO, preferrable one of the 
earliest years, in very nice shape to put inside our 
building display.  Of course, we don't expect to find a 
bone-stock SHO (although I'm sure they're out there) to be 
fully restored or a high-quality original, but we'd like 
mods to be kept to a very minimal level while being a very 
clean, stock appearing vehicle.  Again, the earliest first
generation SHO's are the most desirable to us.  Can you help me?

 > I look forward to speaking with whoever can help me out 
with my search.

I asked Mike several questions that any of you would want to 
know, here are the questions/answers:

 >>Is there any cost?

The invitational cars that will be displayed in building T 
will incur no cost to enter the show.


 >>Dates of the event.

May 30th-June 1st


 >>How long will the car have to be displayed (arrive to leave)

The car will need to be on display from the Thursday evening 
prior to the event until Sunday at approximately 3pm.


 >>And will the car be able to leave every night, or will the
person have to leave the car (have other transportation in
other words).

Yes, the person should plan for other transportation for the 
hours when they aren't at the show.  The car will need to be 
kept secure inside the building throughout the show, taking 
its place next to other fine cars from the beginning of 
Ford's history up to the new 2004 concepts.


 >>Is there any judging or contest/prizes other things that
someone might compete for during this display, or is it just
a display.

It is a display and these cars won't compete for a prize, 
however, they will be featured in the event publication that 
goes to every attendee of the event.  This is the reason we 
will be looking for quality photos of the vehicle in the 
near future.


 >>Anything else I need to tell my people before we ask for
volunteers?

I hope not.  Again, we do want the car to be very close to 
stock appearing. This is going to be a fun event with Jay 
Mays, the chief designer of the new Mustang concepts (both 
the hardtop and convertible will be here on display), here 
speaking and signing autographs along with an overall 
celebration of the 100th anniversary.  The red GT concept 
will also be here (Ford says it can't be called a GT40 
anymore...)  Maybe not the Detroit Ford 100th...but
the next best thing!


Please contact both me and Mike at the same time (CC me) if 
you would, that way i know what is going on, but time is 
very short, (less than a week) and Mike needs to know if he 
has a car or not.

If it was any closer, I would take my '91 Mocha, but I just 
won't have the time to attend.

Let's find a great one to represent the club and the SHO in 
general!
