McPherson College Gets 2nd @ Pebble Beach

[Gary Lewis]

I know it isn't a Ford, much less a Bullnose, but I think this is such an amazing story that many of you will want to read it: How McPherson College Students Took on Pebble Beach with “a Ramen Budget

It is hard to believe that 10 years ago they set a goal of having a car in Pebble Beach in 10 years - and made it.  But not only did they get a car in, they got 2nd in their class!

And don't miss how much they have in endowments right now.  WOW!  

If we have the time on our trip to Ouray it would be cool to stop there as it is literally right beside the road.  

As I think about it, I did sorta "restore" a car in or very near McPherson once.  In about 1970 we got a tank of really bad gas in our '69 Super Bee and it prevented the needles from seating so the carb was overflowing badly.  I put 3 cans of carb cleaner in it and we took off from Wichita to Salina up I-35 and watched the gas gauge drop rapidly.  Got to Salina (90 miles) on fumes, filled up, and dumped 2 more cans in, but it was still running soooo rich it would make your eyes water.  Stopped at the rest stop at McPherson, pulled the Holley off and went through it on a picnic table.  It was spotless but there was a film on the needles.  Wiped them down and it ran like a top.
