13th Annual Ford & Mustang Show at Silver Springs in Ocala, FL January 6th-7th!
 

Yep, it's getting to be that time again!

National Parts Depot (NPD) has held a Mustang and Fords show in January at Silver Springs, a nature theme park in Ocala, Florida, for the past 12 years. We've always experienced great turnouts for this show (over 1,000 cars at the 2006 show including 4 Ford GTs and over 1,400 pre-registered), plus the attraction of having other things to do besides check out the cars, such as glass-bottom boats to check out the natural springs, a kids petting zoo, and more. Check out: www.silversprings.com for more on the park and all its attractions.

The 2007 edition of the Ford & Mustang show will take place on Saturday January 6th and Sunday the 7th. As usual, the first 1,000 cars to pre-register by January 1st will have free entry into the park for driver and one passenger for both days. Don't delay on registering, as we crested the 1,000 mark in mid-November last year! Any entry registering after January 1st, day of show or beyond the 1,000-car threshold may purchase the show package for $17.00 per car, which still includes passes for driver and one passenger. PLEASE NOTE: If you are planning to attend but not show a car, you'll be subject to the standard park entrance fee of $32.99/general, $23.99 for children ages 3-10.

Registration is available for all Ford models early or late, and they must be Ford-powered as well!

Don't forget there's a Pony Trails cruise from NPD in Ocala to Cedar Key and back on Friday morning, and it leaves about 9 am. Close to 150 cars usually make the trek.

New this year will be a mobile Dynojet showing up for Friday! 2 pulls with A/F reading will be $50, and pulls start at noon and go until 6 pm. Any make/model vehicle is welcome on this one, as long as you have 4.5" of ground clearance to go on the dyno.

Mustang Monthly and Mustang & Fords will be in attendance as well, and features for their magazines have comes from this show for years, along with editor choice awards.

Shoot me an e-mail at dputnam@npdlink.com if you have any questions, as I don't frequent this board much.
