Just curious if John Coletti does personal appearances?

I see alot of guys with various signatures on their cars. Shelby mustangs have Carroll Shelby's sig and I know of someone with a Mach 1 that has Scott Hoags sig as he was the original developer of that car in the 70's.

Does anyone have his signature on their car? That would be a nice finishing touch on my car.

I carry a silver sharpie in my glove just in case I bump into him... It would be cool to meet the guy behind the development of this awesome car we all love and get his signature on the dash.

I know one member on here I remember reading either sent him an email or a letter thanking him for the production of the Terminator. He said one day he got a phone call from Mr. Coletti. Seems like a very down to Earth guy, I'd be honored to shake his hand.

My Car's Previous Owner did. My Iron Fist lead foot book is signed by him and Jack Roush. :)

Just to have him sign my 'Iron Fist Lead Foot' would be awesome indeed! To meet him in person would be monumental! Great guy!

Friend of mine used to work for SVT and is still pretty tight with the group. He has in his posession a new radiator cover of mine that will ultimately be covered with the autographs of the gang - hopefuly including Mr. Coletti. I suppose if I really wanted to meet him, I could get my buddy to weasel me in! I won't print my friends name, but he is mentioned in Iron Fist, Lead Foot, and is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to anything SVT:rockon:

Wow. From the few posts on here it sounds like he is well thought of. However, It also shows that he doesn't make many appearances at Ford events otherwise more people would have posted up that they had his signature.

Maybe someday.

Are there any SVT-Only shows or events anywhere in the country?

i would love to run into him one day and thank him for the 03 cobra, plus any of the other guys that helped build it. it would be awesome. im sure whenever he sees a 03/04 cobra on the road he has a big ass smile on his face still.

Of course you can get SVT goodies & the SVT Enthusiast magazine, that's a no-brainer. Most importantly, you are supporting an organization run by current and former Ford/SVT employees that promotes everything SVT. There are plenty of shows, driving events, press events, etc. that are great to get involved with, so "donating" $40 a year is nothing if you are really in to this hobby.
