I just got home from Carlisle -- to find almost a foot of snow! Holy crap..
I never made it to the car corral, but there was a couple Chevelles parked amongst the vendors, I think 71-72, both big-block 4sp cars, not original but very nice cars. They both had prices near 30k on the window and both were marked as sold by mid-day Saturday. I was a little surprised by that. I also saw that real nice looking black '67 parked very close to the car corral marked for 40k. Nice car, but I thought the guy was dreaming. Did it actually sell? This was my first spring at Carlisle, after doing several of the summer shows before it turned into a Harley fest and then the All-GM show the past 2 years. At least there were lots of vendors, unlike the above mentioned shows. Had the weather been better this morning, we might've walked around and looked in the car corral today. We decided to head home instead. If it wasn't for the fact that Carlisle is more a weekend away to hang with some friends that I don't get to see very often, I doubt I'd keep going. I went up there this year with the expectation I wouldn't buy much, and it turned out to be that way (didn't have much money this year). I bought a TBI unit to play with, since it was only $5, and a $20 in-dash CD player that is barely two years old. I hope it works -- it looks unmolested and wasn't out on the muddy ground. A lot of expense and effort for $25 in parts, though. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J. Brady Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005 8:43 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Prices at Carlisle for Chevelles We attended yesterday, and although it's still nice to get up there, I agree with the guy who said there's less car parts these days and more wallets/trinkets/crap. Also, I'm sad to say that I think that eBay has killed that Swap Meet. Every time I heard someone mention that website I wanted to puke. It makes you feel like you should sit at home and look up their inventory on the auction page. Aside from that, it was still fun to look around at all of the stuff for sale. Everyone was packing up at the end of the day though, so I felt bad for anyone who was planning on attending Sunday!
