Swap Meet Season is back! This is the first good meet that kicks off the year here in Texas. The Conroe Texas Swap Meet takes place twice a year, once in February and then in October. Both are typically pretty good and this one was no exception. While I didn't find anything I couldn't live without, there were plenty of cool things to check out from parts to projects. They also have a cool little car corral section as well. This time I decided to split the content into two 30 minute videos instead of my usual hour long single video. This is part one. Hope you enjoy.

Show us some of what you are working on at your shop. Or what’s available at not so upscale used car lots. Junk yards are cool but don’t limit yourself to them.

Whoa Nelley, I hear some tunes, and for you that means doom. LOL. I hear "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult, which came out in 1976. They were started on the grounds of Stony Brook University in Long Island. I find what I need mostly online now. I even got someone to deliver (to my garage) a 1969 Craftsman five drawer rolling cabinet. I was able to negotiate a lower price and have the guy drop it off at my garage. It was missing the wheels and was painted hooptie flat black and had no keys for the locks. It now has a set of casters and rolls, and it locks. I have to paint the frame back to hammer tone gray, although the original paint under the black looks very nice, so I might try to strip it. 1958 Chevrolet is possibly code 910 Cashmere Blue exterior paint, but would need the tag to brag on that one. I believe 7L Ranches was a cattle and horse ranch and may still operate today. $27k is a bit steep for a roller and it does look very nice, albeit a bit over-restored for that type of truck. An '82 Grand Prix (in the US) couldn't come with a V8, only the Firebird had a V8 in 1982. In 1983, the 305 V8 came back into the line up. 1946 and up (I think) Plymouth Special Deluxe. We had a 1941 Plymouth Deluxe growing up from 1978 to 1988. I've related the story of that car a few times. My work location has those "non-payout" type pumps that we use to fill up our vehicles. We still keep a log book on top of the pump or in the office that you fill out when you pump fuel. Some Waterloo made Craftsman tool storage. I never understood why people modify and damage their tool storage like that. Any I bought new are kept in good shape and as I bought them. I've fixed up a few that have been in bad shape over the years and made them usable again. 1967 Chevelle might be a good parts car for YT'er NeshPro who bought the "Silent Malibu" that Mr. Magnante featured in the yard. My parents had a wall phone in that same color green in the kitchen. I have it packed away. Sales have been a bit slow on Ebay but I do get a few hits now and then, including an international sale last week. It's not what it used to be though. That's a nice Impala but the wheels need to go. The Lab looks like he or she is a happy dog, tail is wagging away. You made a video on that other TC convertible in the past. That was a "Sperlich Special".

Too bad there's no coins for you to pick up haha! Maybe that's why you don't do too many swap meet videos lol It's not a bad swap meet. Personally, I'm more interested in the SAFEWAY sign along with the boxes of 8 tracks, hubcaps, and radios. Dunno who'll pay $27k for a clean, but a roller truck. Gas Monkey Garage?

Did you miss the traders village swap meet this month Feb. 2023?

@ClassicRideSociety Жыл бұрын

Even though it's pretty close to me I don't go to that swap meet anymore. It's always the same few vendors. Unfortunately people (vendors/buyers) just don't like it there. The promoter lost his two prior locations which were at La Grave field in ft Worth and Lonestar Park in Grand Prairie where this was known as the DFW swap meet. Both were great

There's a Traders Village auto swap meet at the Houston, Texas location, next month, March 11-12. It's usually a good meet as long as it doesn't rain.....
