The Carlisle 2024 Ford Nationals will be held May 31 through June second. If you have not attended the Carlisle Ford Nationals, please consider attending the event this year! NATO typically has roughly 20 to 25 Turbo Coupes attending the event on Friday and / or Saturday. Total number of Fords of every description on the show field has been 3000+ cars and trucks the last couple years.
NATO will have a large tent on the fair grounds with tables and chairs so TC owners can relax, eat, drink, and talk. There are a large number of vendors selling Ford parts of every description for reasonable prices. Every kind of food and drink imaginable is also available.
If interested, please visit the Carlisle Ford Nationals web site (carsatcarlisle.com) for more information, ordering tickets, etc.
If you come to the show I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!

Had a blast last year with the '84 Cougar! Saw a bunch of the TC folks and had a great time. Sorry, but this year we'll be at a wedding in SC. Have fun y'all!

First post here. My brother and I will be there but with our SVO's. My 85 Turbo coupe is still on jack stands waiting to put the transmission back in and all the pieces that go with it.
The next thing will be to evict the mouse house in the ac/heater blower housing. Look forward to talking to people about these TBirds.

I was really hoping to get there this year, WITH my Turbo Coupe! Yes it is a haul from Phoenix to there, but I’ve driven cross-country several times (not with it), and it can be really enjoyable.
*sigh* What is it that Chicago Cubs fans used to say? Maybe next year.

GUYS, I HAD AND EXCELLENT FIRST TIME AT CARLISLE. I drove in from Austin, TX and Jeff, John, Paul, Andrew and many more NATO guys were outstanding and fun to be around. I learned alot and took away at least 200+ pictures. Couldn't bring my T-Bird because it wasn't finished yet, so my travel was with wife, grandson and 2011 Ford F-150 Lariat "Limited".

By the way, through all the excitement i forgot to ask pertinent questions for my rebuild on my T-Bird. Is there contact info for member Brian L. (had a bandaid on his T-Bird) and Samuel R. I need or want to get a FMIC and both of their "Birds had it. I need to asked questions on their build, pros and cons, so i can mod mine. Thanks.
