oops! I made a error on the date..so i corrected it...its a friday thur sunday thing....however,
Jerm Boy, i have to tell ya it's one of the largest swap meets i've ever been to! Lots of walking is involved and that doesn't include the car correl and the car show! This event makes the Morris Car show and swap meet like KiddieLand. That's why it's considered it to be 2 days event not including friday, ....I usually go there on a sunday but this year i believe i'll be going there on a saturday because sunday is the gathering at Volo...laters

you have a good chance to find what your looking for Dave, here at the swap...you name it, you'll find pratically anything and everything...
I usually go with a bunch of old timers that have been doing this for years...and they leave like around 4am to be there when the gates open...so yeah, if it that important for them to find certain items for their vehicle then it probably means they have it! We can all meet up somewhere like at a oasis and drive out there? (it's an idea)

I went last year and it was mud city. There were some areas I just didn't go to becaue there was clearly no way to get here without loosing a boot. I did get a good deal on a set of clean stock seats and a free roll-up cargo shade just for knowing what it was. Definitly going to try again this year.
I'll be there this year. I have a car to put in the corral.
The thing that sucks for Jefferson besides the mud is there really isn't a lot of stuff for our cars. It tends to lean more towards 40's - 70's cars.
Just got home from here today. If you are thinking of going, dont waste your time imho. I am not joking when I say I spent the entire day there looking at practically every stall and found maybe 15-20 items for 3rd gens in the entire swap meet. What I did find, LOTS AND LOTS of mud, PLENTY of junk literally everywhere. This has to be the worst year I have ever seen at this swap meet hands down. One would think the prices would be alot more friendlier but that just isnt the case. One vendor wanted 75$ for a set of plastic Camaro wheel , centers. A Dash Pad for 200$ and they will even throw in the cracks for free lol!! It was pretty bare for 3rd gens and just as bad for 2nd gens as far as parts to be found. If you need SBC or BBC parts used, they are literally everywhere but most of it seemed priced a bit high to me. All in all, not much for F Bodys and if thats what your going for, I would stay at home where its dry and warm and you can shop from your computer for cheaper.
I saw the dashpad but didn't ask how much it was. It looked good until i saw the driver side had slits in it. I saw really nothing for thirdgens other than a few WAY overpriced cars, including a beaten overpriced roller race car. Fall might be better.
