My wife doesn't want me to go because of the Ebola thing. I realize that has nothing to do with your car, but this mention of Good Guys just bums me out. Enjoy the show!

I heard there is a yellow/black 72 442 conv for sale there. If you see it, what's it like and how much do they want for it?

Thanks they are 235 45 17 front with 275 40 17 rear 17 x 8 front 17 x 9 rear. I have used this combo on several 68-72 A-bodies. It works good on them.

Not yet the swap meet was really weak this year compared to prior shows. Very little foot traffic. I think I would have done better just entering the main show with a for sale sign. The main show was packed with people to the point it was hard to walk up and down the main road at times.

I got some good pics of it in the for sale ad now.
