Anyone hit the end of year swap meet at Lebanon Valley yesterday? It started off slowly for me, but once I got through all of the roached out stock car parts, I managed to find enough junk to justify the trip.
Well H no disrespect, but seeing's how its at a track thats what goes I guess....Ok for me cause I have a fleet of old stockers. Did see more older a couple years ago when I bought a nice 37' ford hood there...think the storm could've affected some of the vendor numbers at both shows? Anyways we left the Thompson show @ 4 then drove to Pittsfield & stayed overnight & got there @ 7:30 place was already jumping. Its a nice facility & fans in that area are lucky. We don't have anything like that here in Maine. Did pick up a chevelle 12 bolt rear for a good price & a housing for $10. Also got a bag of seals for the inner frankland hub bearing (about 30) for $25. A friend picked up a nice stretcher-bender for $150...another got a fine running 5000W generator for $50. A lot of racing & drag stuff. Nice wide rows on pavement mostly. You were at Thompson, didn't you think Lebanon was busier with more folks looking & buying...I did anyways. Maybe I'll bump into you next time.....
Brought some stuff down to sell.Cleared about $275,not too bad.Did not bring alot.Did not buy,needed some bucks so I controlled myself. There was no shortage of good stuff.A must attend event every year. Got there a little after 8 and already we had to setup on the back 40. Still plenty of traffic. As SGP said,it's well setup,a nice track with lots of room.
When you're blessed with good weather like we were on Sunday, the vendor turnout is big enough that I can't help but find several pieces to drag home. I didn't really need another SBC intake, but when you end up paying $20.00 for and Edelbrock Performer RPM with a decent looking AFB style Edelbrock carb on it, how can you turn it down?
Bought a n.o.s. frankland non-quickchange center section for 20 bucks,guess it will be a wall-hanging ! couple of smallblock pulleys for 3 bucks,traveling with Bucksnort-priceless.
It was warmer than last year, not as big as last year but like last year I found some good deals. Sold a Corvette block and bought a good crankshaft. It's a pretty good swap meet for me, 55 minutes away. We debated going to Bristol but chose the Valley. Maybe next year at Bristol. Pat
It was my first time at this swap. I usually do both days at Thompson. I got a few deals at the valley but nothing to brag about
