It's just an early 4-eye.

LMAO, well played.

What is everybody looking for? We might be able to help each other spot stuff.

I'm looking for some black leather/vinyl seats to put in the 66. Maybe 99-04 mustang seats, but I'm open to whatever would look good in a classic and offer more support than the crappy factory buckets. Preferably less than $300.

I just took a complete set of seats out of my '95 GT parts car that I would part with for well under your target price. They are grey cloth but just a recovering away from the black leather you would like. Send me a PM if you have interest.

Thanks for that, I'll keep that in mind. Ideally, I'm looking for black, not-cloth seats. Failing that, one of the upsides is that there are many ways to recover late model seats to pretty much whatever you want. I'm showing my age by calling '95 seats late model, but whatever.

dedication!

Can't build a collection without cars and parts!

Mopar cars and parts.
I need 72-74 Barracuda parts (grille, air cleaner, factory X heads for 340).
Also need 71 Road Runner/Satellite/GTX parts (bumpers, bucket seats, emblems)
My brother is looking for A LOT of parts for his 2 1973 and 1974 Barracudas. Also looking for a 71 Super Bee or Charger R/T hood.
Looking for any 63-83 Mopar projects also.
Bringing a 74 Charger to sell in the car corral.

Motorcyles....vintage mini enduro and a vintage Bultaco Astro flat tracker

Bikes....vintage BMX and swing bike

[Rreemo]

I'm out there to sell again this year....dropped my trailer off this evening and there was A LOT of shit out there already. They've opened a whole new section, and it's definitely bigger than last year.

Swing by and say Hi - I'm on the south end in Zone 1, Block 9 between 9th and 10th street. I've got a pewter colored Haulmark, and we're parked right beside the guys from Late Model Resto....they are on the corner of Block 9 and Waltrip.

Left home at 4:55am and made it to the track by 10am. Bought a set a wheels, a hubcap, 71 Roadrunner/Satellite fender and some other random parts. Lots of vintage motorcycles out there this year! Almost bought a 73 Bultaco flat tracker but I am going to hold out for a 76 Bultaco Astro!

Lots of 5.0 fox/sn95 parts out there for some reason this year also? Pretty nice red GT hatch but it was an automatic.


Even on a scooter from 10am to 5pm. We did not see it all today. We maybe saw 2/3rds of it today. It is larger for sure! That is GREAT!!!

[91CoupeMike]

How early can you go out there?

[1carcrazyguy]

People camp out during the event so there is always something going on. However most start showing up 7-8-9am. I usually try not to get there before 9.

[BLAKE]

It's a good showing this year. Spent about 4 hours out there yesterday. I too was surprised at the number of vintage Japanese and euro bikes. Some good buys there for sure.

As usual, if you need classic mustang or truck parts, there's tons of that and more than a little 30s-40s hot rod steel out there, much of which I thought was lower priced than I've seen in the past.

[Frank]

Yeah the showing of vintage and unusual bikes is what I enjoyed most. Learned some things too. I was not aware Pontiac had a fuel injection system in 1958. A guy there had the whole setup and educated me. Also met an old drag racer Ken Holmes who said he once worked on Joe Amato's top fuel team. He gave me an autographed picture of his "McLaughlin & Holmes" 41 Willys gasser. Supposed to be the fastest Willys on record. No idea if his claims were true, but a cool guy to hang out and talk with.

[orphan Shelby]

Got some much needed excersize and a ft bumper. Was the green charger yours crazy? Was gonna swing by after picking up bumper and a guy gave me a ride to gate.

[snacksnack]

Lets see what you all scored.

Any decent priced complete 67-69 camaro's out?

[1carcrazyguy]

No the green charger was not ours. My brothers car is blue/white top 1974. It is at the car corral.


I did not bring any cars to sell. I am thinking about selling one at the Mecum auction this year in Dallas. Still undecided on if I want to try it or not.


We did Pate all day again yesterday and then went to Boyd Raceway last night for the non wing sprint car event. Today we did Pate all day and left in time to drive over to Devils Bowl. Sitting here at intermission now. The car count is not that great but my dad had always wanted to visit the historic track. So here we are! Hopefully there are some deal to be had tomorrow at Pate before we head back to Amarillo! Got my eye on a couple of vintage mini enduro motorcycles to tinker with.
