(Words and Photos by Joe Grippo) The world’s largest celebration of the Blue Oval went down a few weeks ago in Central Pennsylvania and of course, we were there. The 2026 edition of the Carlisle All Ford Nationals was the second most attended event ever in the history of Carlisle Events, only bested by the 2025 Ford Nats. 3500 plus of Fords Family of Fine Cars packed the 81 acres of the venerable Carlisle Fairgrounds. The Fun Field car show, the massive swap meet, a strong car corral, huge tents and buildings of special displays were bursting at the seams with all matter of FoMoCo greatness.

Mustangs, as usual, were the dominant marquee but the Bronco contingent is making a run. 2026 was the 60^th anniversary of the Bronco and the owners and fans showed up in droves. Old and new, stock to highly modified, survivors to full race examples, there was something for everyone. The thought to be lost forever, 1 of 1 Boss Bronco was there a few trucks away from a Richard Nixon Secret Service Bronco that lived at Tricky Dicks western White House.  50 years of Roush commemorated The Cat in the Hat and a cross section of Jack’s creations were on display. The Sudden Death Mustang II Street Racer and a killer IMSA GT Prototype were highlights.

We spent all of Friday waist deep in the swap meet, hunting for a few specific pieces for the Grippo Racing Mustangs, we snagged some good stuff. Check out the photos for all the potential projects and hardcore stuff that we spotted. One observation was that vintage stuff was plentiful and a god bit of it was reasonably priced. If you needed parts for your FE engine, there were tons of choices for heads, intakes, and internals. The stuff is still out there; you just have to know where to look. The adage remains…”I found it at Carlisle!”

The 2027 date is set for June 4-6, so make plans now…..See you there!
