is anyone going to the swapmeet in englishtown in 2 weeks?

[TheV6Guy]

My brothers and I go to everyone. We'll deff be there.

[KevinW]

Be there on Friday to walk around.

[heero69]

My wife will be there in the show on Sunday hope to see some friends.

[jam01]

i am hoping to be there, it used to be a ritual for a group of us twice a year. rent a room for a couple of nights hit the local bars then swap meet for three days. now im in jail i mean married.

[L695speed]

I may head down, don't think I'll get anything, but you never know what you may find.

[greenformula92]

I might go. there usually isn't anything there that i can't get any other time of the year. I usually wind up buying nothing

[madness410]

how much is it to get in there again i forget

[L695speed]

You have to pay to get in? I'd rather go to Harry's You Pull it if thats the case. Most swap meets I've gone to you don't pay.

[TheV6Guy]

Yea you have to pay. Its only like 15 bucks or something. I really don't remember. But its not only a swap meet its a car show also. Its worth it though

[L695speed]

What day is the show, Saturday or Sunday? If there is a show and the meet is big enough then I guess its worth it. lol.

[redsoxsstink]

both, saturday is for any car, sunday is more for older/original stuff

[greenformula92]

its 10 bucks i believe

[evilz99]

Never went before but I hear it would take like 2 days to see everthing. Heard its rediculously huge!

[L695speed]

Crap, do I want to go Sunday and look at the older stuff, or do I want to go Saturday and not care for what I see...... If only the damn printer got their act together and didn't have us leaving the lot at 3:30 am after waiting three hours for the papers to get to the Herald offices.... I got home at 6am, slept til like 1:30 in the afternoon. If it wasn't for that I'd def go Sunday. I'll have to discuss it with the guy I'm running the papers with.

[Featherburner]

Never went before but I hear it would take like 2 days to see everthing. Heard its rediculously huge!Englishtown can easily be covered in a day. Carlisle on the other hand...

[evilz99]

Yeah heard that's big too havnt been to that one either.

[L695speed]

Hershey is the biggest that I know of, takes days to search through everything. Usually by the time I get there for the show, the swap meet is mostly closing up, takes at least the better part of the day to go through it even then. But due to the fact that the show itself is getting bigger and takes more time to go through, one needs to balance the time between show and swap meet.... impossible.

[NJ Torque]

Its a junk show. Hardly anything for 4th gens...

[WiMiMc]

just found out i'm working friday, i cant go :( I have my motorcycle class on the weekend.

[ZeroCool8891]

ill be there all weekend with my friend in his spots will have some misc 3rd and 4th gen stuff.

[greenformula92]

ill be there all weekend with my friend in his spots will have some misc 3rd and 4th gen stuff.

maybe I'll see ya there. I still don't know if I am going or not

[L695speed]

I'll have to ring you up when I get down there. If I get down there, the daily decided to act up. diagnosing it now.

[TaKid455]

This seems to come up every year. Here is the the Cliffs on the 3 shows in Calender order

Carlisle - 4/26-29 - good mix of marques, lots chevy & ford, but you can find other things. Great to order ahead and pick up from vendors to save on shipping. Can be done in a day just dont stop and analysis every nut and bolt

Etown - May 4-6 - good mix of vacuums, knick knacks and junk that nobody wants. Great to place to get run over by some lazy ass on a motor cycle while looking at some guy smoking dope. In short dont waste your time unless you've have nothing else to do and have already cut the grass, cleaned the sink and dropped a duce.

Wait till sunday and you can pick stuff up out of the garbage that didnt sell on the other days.

Macungie , Pa (1st Sat in August) - Really cool old cars (pre war) and toy show. Nice, clean overall event. Go mainly to see stuff you wouldn't normally see ad maybe pick up a some random items


Hershey - Early October - Grandaddy of shows. no new stuff say later than 1980. 60-80 stuff is scarce too but is scattered about. Just a different crowd and time frame of cars. Need a radiator cap or a 1920 Graham, belt driven air compressor for a 1917 Marmon, Supercharger for a Dusey, Skis for a model A,...you will probably find a few. Cannot do in a day. I spend 9-10 hrs walking and still dont cover everything. A truly religious experience.

Hahaha

I did get an old school iron vise there for 5 bucks last year. Carrying it from the far side of the track to the parking lot though made me question whether it was worth it or not.

[grazi]

Thinkin about going down this year. Heard alot of guys said it sucked last year. I think it rained last year too. Anybody going or setting up a stand??

[greenformula92]

I'll be there. Gonna be hooking up with Ted at some point and hangin out

[L695speed]

At this point I'm doubting I'll even head down there. The daily driver is still laid up, waiting for parts.... We all know that feeling. I was hoping to have it up and running by now, but then I found a few other things wrong. Had to order up more parts. Waiting for those ones. If the meet was equal to Carisle on the other hand....

[KevinW]

Looks like I will be bringing the camaro on sunday as well as shopping for parts on friday :)

[elle]

It's no longer a swap meet. I would call it a flea market. If you want to buy Harley beer then it's a good place to go.

[mc73nova]

I'll be there Saturday, in search for some parts for our T/A project.

[chrisfrom nj]

i will be there sat

[TAdan]

I'll be there for a bit on Saturday... I need to pick up some wax and look at all the knick knacks.

TAkid455, good analysis. :lol:

[Cycule]

anyone going friday?

[WiMiMc]

How was it? i heard there were a lot of bike parts

[greenformula92]

there was some good stuff but as far as F-body stuff it was the usually guys that had them. there was some quads and bikes for sale, a couple enduros. there was a 1st gen for sale that would have been a good start for a project, it was a 396 4-speed car for 10k. other than that there was a lot of crap and I didn't buy anything

[91zconvert]

IDK, there was alot of flea market crap there but i did see some good deals there too.did anyone see the 66 plymouth sport fury with a 440 for $5000.00?

oh yea, i forgot.i did see a guy yank out his tooth with a pair of pliers on friday night.his buddy told me he was going to put it on u-tube.
