Silver Springs Mustang & Ford Show

National Parts Depot’s 15th Annual Ford & Mustang Round-up is January 10th-11th 2008 at the beautiful Silver Springs Park in Ocala, Florida! We'll be there, how about you? Check out the blog for all the show details...

A little background on Silver Springs and the show to give you an idea of what it entails:
National Parts Depot has held a Mustang and Fords show in January at Silver Springs, a nature theme park in Ocala, Florida, for the past 14 years. They've always experienced great turnouts for this show (over 1,100 cars in 2008 from over 1,525 pre-registrations), plus the attraction of having other things to do besides check out the cars, such as glass-bottom boats in the natural springs, a kids petting zoo, and more. Check out www.silversprings.com for more on the park and all its attractions.

The 2-day show (Saturday and Sunday) also incorporates a cruise to Cedar Key from NPD’s main warehouse in Ocala on Friday morning January 9th. Participants start gathering around 8 am, we have a short driver’s meeting detailing the cruise around 9-9:30 am, then depart (145 cars did the cruise in 2008). After a short trip up Interstate 75, cruisers exit and then travel back roads through Ocala’s horse farm country at easy driving speeds on the way to scenic Cedar Key. The trip takes about 1-1/2 hours each way, and when arriving in Cedar Key participants can eat lunch, peruse the shops or enjoy the views of this small fishing community before returning to Ocala. Once back in Ocala, cruisers are welcome to check out NPD’s car collection (over 140 cars), and VMP Tuning will be on-hand with their mobile Dynojet chassis dyno, and participants can make two pulls with A/F ratio for $60. The highest pull will receive a goodie bag from NPD.

The first 1,000 cars to pre-register by a January 1st, 2009 receive free entry into the park for car, driver and one passenger. Any entry postmarked after 01/02/09, the day of show or beyond the 1,000-car threshold may purchase the show package for $21.00 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 $33.99/general, $24.99 for children ages 3-10.
