Btw, we did achieve some >200km/h speeds on some of the straight-aways. There was a particularly gnarly stretch from Nelson, BC (south) to Salmo, BC. Unfortunately, I forgot to tell our programmers to turn off the speed filter - so very few speeds north of 140km/h were registered. My bad ...

Of course what Erik means is that in some exceptional closed/private-road circumstances it is theoretically possible that one or more Panteras in the group may have exceeded the speed posted on the public roads.
I must say that all the guys out west did an OUTSTANDING job of organizing the event. Erik, Doug and Blake were the best imaginable hosts and ambassadors for the marque and the provinces of BC and Alberta. It was a blast! Soon I will try to get my photos sorted and post some.

I'd be more interested in stats for above 200kph

I just got my car back today. Lots to do. I was looking at the distances and had a look at top speed. Not sure what day it was, but Erik and Carmen went by me like I was standing still.

It was an amazing week!! Much thanks and recognition should be forwarded to the eastern Canadian owners. Without the huge commitment to transport their cars across the country, Rocky Mountain Rumble would not have been possible. We learned alot about what works and doesn't work on a car tour of this length of time and distance. All in all I think it was a great success.
Special mention is due to John Christian (J.C.) who not only drove his car all the way from Detroit Michigan via Reno and California (to pick up Mike Drew) but almost single handed kept the entire fleet of panteras road worthy for the entire tour. Humble and mild mannered, he probably knows more about old fords than any man I have ever met. It was a pleasure meeting him.
We had participants from Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Michigan and Washington. The cars varied from un-modified original to crazy modified. Every one unique in its own way. The owners/drivers varied from gentleman cruisers to, well, not so gentlemanly.
Everyone kept it safe. No accidents, no wildlife incidents, no speeding tickets (not one!)
For me, the best part was getting to say hello to the people I have met before, and finally getting to meet the eastern owners that I have been chatting with on this board for the last few years.
Thanks to all. It was an adventure I will not forget (until we get the chance to do it again).

I added a few snapshots but they came up on a separate post. Oh well
The above paragraph should read, We had CARS from Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Michigan and Washington. We had participants from all of the above and California.
Sorry Mike !
