Jefferson Swap Meet & Car Show

FYI..........
The 25th annual spring Jefferson Swap Meet and Car Show is fast approaching......... April 27th and 28th. As some of you know this is one of the premier swap meets in the midwest area! I recommend getting there as early as you can for the best deals. I have waited up to 45 minutes for parking and that is before 7:00AM! For more info click here

If anyone needs anything hauled back to NW Ill area just give me a call, I'll br there on Saturday. Usually from 9 to 5or6.
Cell is 815-632-7175.

I'm thinking about making a roadtrip with the camaro up there too. But I'm not entering it. Just a nice trip with the car and maybe pick up some parts for all of my vehicles, room permitting.

Thanks for the compliment. The car should not be hard to spot. It likes to stick out.

FYI

If any of you guys that are going to Jefferson need a complete GFX/facia/rear bumper kit off a 1990 RS, let me know, I'll bring it down. I only want $300 for it, or I'll trade it for some nice 15x7 stock Z wheels (with center caps). Let me know, I'll be down there all day Sunday. We can save ourselves a TON in shipping!!!
I'm on Motorola Talkabout, channel 6 when I'm down there. Otherwise call me on my cell 920-470-8954

Hey You guys who wimped out because of the weather, you missed it. If you don't have a 4x4, its probly a good thing though. All the little cars and mustangs were gettin stuck in the slimy parking lot. Myself, i was kickin it up in the f250 4x4. you missed alot of good deals too. I got a hood, full set of nice black seats, speaker covers, sun visors, door panels, mint dashpad, and hood hinges for $180.
As far as cars.. Nothin real spectacular, but nothing to sneeze at either. One iroc caught my attention. It was white with pink ground effects, and a totally pink interior, and pink rims. It was on a bunch of magazines and stuf, but it was still hideous.

Later

Anybody notice that blue 1990 Iroc 5.7 that some FOOL was parting out???
The interior was already pretty gutted, the car was in good solid shape overall except for the hood and hatch pins!!??!!
The engine was even totally re-done, was about clean enough to eat from, and some Moron was parting it out!
It was on the south end of the grounds behind grandstands a few rows.
I shoulda got the name of who had the car, but no one was around when I was passing by where the car was.
Not to ask another stupid HOW RARE? question, but a '90 IROC 5.7 is a terrible thing to waste.

Yeah, I was looking at that IROC at the end of the day, and someone bought that whole car for $2000. Hope they get it going!! I got some 16" IROC rims with BRAND NEW tires from the guy behind that car for $150!!! WOOHOO!!

So, that's what happened to you!
I thought you wanted 15's. But for that price I don't blame you.
I'll take 'em if you decide to go to 15's. I'll throw new tires on those wheels to even things up a bit more.???
Nice buy though. I was so bummed about that IROC getting parted that I never even saw those wheels.

It was a pretty crapy weekend all it all. Some kid had a 89 IROC black with a TPIS miniram on it with edlpuck heads and headers. The car had something like 89k on it and looked pretty sweet but the moron wanted something like 11,500 for it. Needless to say he drove it home sunday afternoon. What a moron, i love the people that put like 10k it to there car and think that the value also increase's by 10k!! I've gone to jefferson ever since I was like 5 and then you use to be able to see all kinds of good deals on the cars in the car coral but now everyone thinks since they just put 5k into in that means that their former $2500.oo POS is now worth $8000 obo. What a bucnh of morons!!!!!!!!!!!! Jefferson is a rip off for anyone thinking about buying a car there. The only good deals are in the swap meet. You can find anything there. If you didn't find it walk in again because it is there!!!
