Annual Springfield swap meet
I was just wondering if anyone was planning on being there. It's the 24th, 25th, and 26th of August at the fair grounds. I-44 exit 77 bear right to Norton Road.Ken Thomas

Sure wish I could be!!!! That is still one of my all time favorite swap meets!!!!! That's where I got the FE tri-power and dual point distributor still packed away in the shop waiting for the right recipient!!!! I paid way too much, and haven't used it since I bought it 10 years ago, but it was just one of them "gotta-have-it" deals. Being a Hot Rodder, I'm sure you understand.....

Man, it's tempting. We need some good swap meets in Tennessee, I love going to them but I always have to drive so far.
Okay, I'm done whining now.I ain't dumb, I just ain't been showed a whole lot!

[QUOTE=Irelands child]One never knows. What started out years ago as an antique (A's, T's, etc) swap meet has turned into quite a big deal. I'm not sure how many acres the fair grounds covers, but most of it is full. A lot of vendors and a lot of field finds. More straight axles and banjo rearends than I've seen since a certain junkyard in Santa Ana, Cal. in the '60's. Originally Posted by Dave Severson

A few years ago a guy was selling a 392 Hemi with a 6-71 and Hilborn injection. It was there one day and gone the next and I believe he was asking 10 large.Ken Thomas
