Thread: Annual Springfield swap meet

Tweet

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.

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.....

Anything you want me to look out for Dave? I'll be there Sat. with my grandson.

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 could trash my NEW Performer RPM and NEW Edelbrock 600 for that setup without a look back - but reality is what it is!!! But there are a couple of swap meets coming up this fall.......

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.
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.
