Bobacuda Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Glad you found a good one this past weekend. The weather in Texas was great, so we took a road trip to the "Big Country Swap Meet" in Abilene, TX. Online, it is a jumping, great swap meet - in real life it was a long drive to see a few sets of used, rusty headers, several used deer-grilles (aka brush guards) and some V8 Chevy parts. Very few vendors. Very disappointed. They charged me $5 to park - they should have paid me to attend. I will never go back. For a road trip for me, the Pate (at Dallas Motor Speedway) and Decatur swap meets are large and worth going to. The next two swap meets for me will be in New Braunfels (April) and Fredericksburg in July (fairly local, within 50 miles). They don't always have stuff I need or want, but they live up to their advertising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 meet over...all in all it was a good event. Traffic slower on Saturday than normal, combination of spring break and Easter I guess.... as for the latter..

Ricky Luke Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 LOL. I've spent 10 years combing through swap meets looking for 40 Chrysler parts, and only came up with a gearbox gasket kit. BTW Brent, I'm in Portland - Victoria... Rick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobacuda Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) I went to the New Braunfels (TX) swap meet this past week end. Always a good one. Unfortunately, no old Mopar stuff; however there were two really nice driver's in the Car Corral - a '63 Buick convertible (V6) and a '62 Rambler convertible (with a great history). Asking $7K for the Buick and $10K for the Rambler. The photos will take me several posts Edited April 23, 2018 by Bobacuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent B3B Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 here is one I was contemplating at the Portland swap meet a few weeks back. https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/1965-dodge-town-wagon/6552007753.html I was advised to stop contemplating it and forget it!
