This past Saturday I had the chance to meet (again) Ford GT designer Camillo Pardo. He was kind enough to sign a number of GT items I had brought with me. He also brought a painting he had done of a '69 GT500 that was commissioned by a friend of mine of my friends Shelby. Camillo actually drove down from Michigan to Louisiana in his blue Ford GT. He raced it at NPR for a show being shot there for Speed.

Thanks, Bill. Camillo is considering going to the Carlisle show, as there is a new Ford GT book coming out that he may be there signing. Also, I believe Donald Farr will be either signing or taking pre-orders for signed copies of the new Boss 302 book.

He is very willing to sign. In addition to the diecast, he also signed a pair of 'hero' cards, press kit, the Ford GT book, and a copy of the photo of myself and him on the Ford GT display stand at SEMA in 2004 (it is in out photo gallery here).

He jokenly told me he had seen the original book (really pamplet) go for several hundred dollars on e-Bay and told him to go ahead and personalize his signature in mine to lower the price. :3amin: As I said before, too bad you can't be there, I'd buy your breakfast at the Homewood Suites every morning and beer or soda at the BBQ. :23: |

Re: Die -cast cars
You seem to have forgotten that the 1971 Pinto was the foundation of the "modern" Mustang up through 2004. Then a Lincoln was the base for the 2005 and up Mustang. :worship:

No, the #13 car is, though. The #15 is an Exoto 1/18 'Dan Gurney for President' car with the bumper sticker on the rear quarter. It's the most expensive diecast I'd ever bought to that time and the detail is spectacular.

He was driving it pretty slow and got off at an exit to a sketchy part of town. I LOVE Detroit and never feel unsafe, but I am not sure I would be driving this car down there! lol EDIT: I did a quick google search of Camilo Pardo, and yup that was him driving it. Im sure he is a good dude, but he looked kinda like a D-Bag with driving gloves and his shirt unbuttoned way past his chest! http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...3&d=1305467667 |
