Stoddard's tomorrow?

[PeteBrown]

Anyone planning to attend the annual Stoddard's swap meet tomorrow?

I'll be there in a loud black coupe looking for t-bars, bilstein sports, exhaust and track tires.

[joehahn]

yep, I'll be there after I wash the car for the first time this year. I'm still looking for a dash and any other odds and ends.

see you tomorrow.

I didn't put a lot of effort, but here's a few shots of the concourse/swap meet. The last one is my son, the reason I didn't stay too long.

I was in and out between 10:30 and 11:00 with my 7yr old and 5yr old boys. I did see Bell's Targa parked out front and Michael (89911) I met your brother and drooled over his car. I wished 5 years ago I knew that my car was primarily going to be driven on the track and therefore built or bought a car like his. Now I contemplate selling my fairly nice stock '87 for a track car or just gradually update it as items wear.

Lots of nice cars at Stoddards but fewer part vendors than in previous years. I wonder if that's a result of Ebay?

[89911]

Pete, definetly Ebay has effected sellers. You can get much more for your items with millions of potential buyers then those that show up at a swap meet. Hershey was the same way last year. Swap meets are buyers markets. If you want to get your car set up, ask John. He started with a tired 87 coupe with 105k on it so he didn't have much to lose. My car on the other hand is still nice and it is tough to keep replacing stock items that are like new.
