2017 bop swap meet in il.

it was a good sized swap meet with a lot of Pontiac parts and c olds heads for 150 a pair just to name a few parts and 1 guy crazy enough to ask 800 for a cracked wing for a cutlass when you can buy aftermarket ones new for much less. I was there almost the entire time so did anyone find anything good?

I stopped by in the early afternoon. I didn't bother going inside since it was such a nice day and walked the lot. Picked up a few misc parts for the Cutlass and made a few contacts for the future.

with the beautiful weather I was expecting a big crowd. There was a lot more outdoor vendor spaces than in years past, because of the weather.

I saw that too and did a double take. thought wtf

I didn't do too bad. sold a few things I wanted to, but wished one more big item would have sold. Just bought a few small NOS items.

junior small parts can finish what you are working on and save money for other projects so it was a positive one for you. I have gone to years and seriously hundreds of swap meets and came up empty because I have a olds it is great to see ours growing in quantity and quality. spread the word for next year it really is just about the only that counts for us even Jefferson in Wisconsin has very few olds parts so good luck and lets get it done and roll.
