To celebrate the release of the new Challenger we are planning a special display of all Challengers. Stock or modified, it doesn’t matter – if it’s a Challenger we’re interested! If you’d like to have your Challenger considered for this rare exhibit, please complete and submit the 2008 Invitational Display Form.

Building “Y” will house a special Invitational Display of FM3 Panther Pink/Moulin Rouge Mopars. If you have a factory FM3 Mopar that you think would qualify for this indoor exhibit, please complete the 2008 Invitational Display Form. Vehicles do not need to be stock but must be factory FM3 to qualify for the indoor display.

Each year, Building T houses 40+ Chrysler products that are considered prime examples of the breed. These vehicles range from Chrysler Concept vehicles to a private individual’s pride and joy. There’s no real criteria other than the vehicle has to be special in some way but special doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. Special can be rare, unique, an interesting history, a factory “oddball” and the list goes on. If you have a Chrysler product that you feel is special for whatever reason, please complete and submit the 2008 Invitational Display Form.

This year we are rewinding the clock to 1968 to recreate our Retro Dealership Display located at the Gate 1 lot. Last year we gave you a chance to experience 1967 and based on the feedback we received it was a real hit. This year you’ll see the all new Road Runner and Super Bee as well as the redesigned Charger for ’68 and more. We’re out to win you over!

We are also looking for 1968 and older cars to display in the “Service Department” and while these vehicles don’t need to be bone stock, they must be period correct. If you would like to have your 1968 or older vehicle considered please complete the 2008 Invitational Display Form.

It’s great to see so many “young” people enjoying the Mopar hobby these days and we felt it was time to recognize their efforts. Whether your car is new or old, it’s welcome – as long as the owner is between the ages of 16 and 25. To start the class off this year we are going to feature three local teens who have been working to restore a ’71 Super Bee. Most veterans of the hobby would’ve parted this car out and moved on but youth and exuberance are prevailing!

Chrysler’s High Impact Paint (HIP) colors certainly don’t need any help standing out in a crowd and arguably the wildest HIP color is FM3 Panther Pink/Moulin Rouge. With the help of Nick Taylor of PantherPink.com we’ve assembled a collection of factory FM3 vehicles that will fill Building Y. We have stock and modified vehicles in this display and you can expect to see a wide variety of body styles.

Let’s face it, drag racing is a huge part of the Mopar heritage and it’s alive and well on Friday evening at Quarter Aces Drag-O-Way (formerly South Mountain). To add to the excitement this year we have added the F.A.S.T. cars. Watch them run on Friday and compete on the Showfield on Saturday. You can also see the original Sox & Martin ’73 Duster make some full throttle passes! No, it doesn’t run like it did in ’73 – it’s way faster now running in the 8s!

Carlisle is a great place for clubs to hold local, regional and national meets or just hang out for the weekend while enjoying thousands of great Mopars! We also offer tents for use as the club’s headquarters for the weekend. To register your club and see if you qualify for the use of a FREE 20’ x 20’ (or larger!!) tent, please contact Toni at Toni@CarlisleEvents.com or (717) 243-7855 ext. 121.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ’58 Fury and the 25th anniversary of the movie Building T will house an original’58 Fury from the movie Christine. The car we’ll have on display is retired and living in Florida. She is the car that was used in the scenes with the Camaro. We are also preparing for a special showing of the movie.

To add some excitement to this year’s giveaway we have teamed up with Mopar Muscle magazine to bring you the first ever Engine Giveaway! This is no run of the mill crate engine, either. This engine will be a 505” Wedge based around a 440 block and a Muscle Motors stroker kit. It will be hand built right in the pages of Mopar Muscle and will feature quality parts like Diamond pistons, Comp Cams valve train, DUI Ignition, Edelbrock intake, Holley carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum heads! This is going to be a pump gas-friendly beast of an engine. There is no purchase necessary but you must be present to win.

We currently have six original Sox & Martin cars scheduled to attend this year and that number could jump to eight if the cars are restored in time for the show. Team members Herb McCandless and Dave Christie will also be in attendance. Diane Sox will be here representing the Ronnie Sox Foundation and Buddy Martin is also scheduled to appear.

No Carlisle show would be complete without the burnout contest. Smoke’em till they pop and then keep going to win the crowd over. Whether you’re in the grandstand watching or in the truck participating this is a crowd favorite you won’t want to miss.
