Not the best event for Traditional Ford parts but whose going to the United Ford Owners Super swap on Nov 30th and Dec 1st at Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus? Usually not much early stuff there but can find some decent deals on Y block parts if you're in the market. 4 buildings I believe, decent car corral for this late in the season, even a few brave outside vendors. I'll be in the Vinovich Building selling the usual Drag videos and car movies, look for the HAMB banner.
Tough for me to take pics Joker...I'm stuck vending the whole time the event is open....may get to the car corral though and if anything looks of interest I'll try. Columbus is a lot closer to Dayton than florida jeff !....but I'm sure you would rather be in florida
We will be there. Swap has kinda turned into late model scrap yard, but you will still find a diamond in the rough if you look hard enough.
Don't you have to pay to park and pay to get in swap?? I haven't been there in a few years and thought it was to much money for what they have to offer.. But I was looking for mostly older parts...
Yup scrap metal. pay the Fairgrounds to park and pay the Ford club that runs it to get in. It's a bitch....I pay $200 for spaces and have to pay another $50 to the fairgrounds to have electric on my space. Mediumriser is correct, traditional early ford parts are slim pickins there but you can find a decent bargain if you look. Stumbled upon a 406 trip set up (less air cleaner but otherwise decent) there 2 years ago at a giveaway price.
The only reason I am going is to keep my mind off not being in Daytona that weekend,I hope I can find something to make it worth the trip and I do need to get something at Jegs while I am in the area.
It`s a great swap meet....if you own a Mustang. I still go and usually find something I need but it takes a while to get thru it. Better than sitting on the couch.
I don't know Bubba...you have a bit longer drive from Indy that I do from Pittsburgh and to be honest with you Flathead and early ford stuff are like hens teeth at this event. Of course...maybe that's because few vendors there have early ford stuff....who knows about the buyers? Realizing you are vending and don't get much time to walk around (same with me), If you do get go and get there, Stop by the moonlight movie booth if you go...I'm the same guy selling movies and posters at Road Rockets Rumble. Hope you do well if you go.
I might try and run up, but it all depends if I have any extra cash that weekend... the fall swap meet is a bad time for me with the wife buying Christmas presents and all...
Finished packing this weekend while it's still sunny and at least 40 outside....Weather looks decent...cold but at least dry...see you there
