swap meet day! I look forward to this all year long, as it's the biggest yard sale in the county, and it's only once a year








I'm not familiar with model Ts, but this looks like an all in one electrical test gadget. Magnets and coil, or it could be something else. Either way, fantastic find at the swap meet




I scored an adapter! Play my cassettes on the 8 track! Whoa! Never expected to find one of these, new in box, but... the seller had another, maybe better? He's going to see what the other ought to be priced at, as the 5 dollars he was asking is certainly lower than market value... but, just how many people are going to use these anyway? Besides me? not many



and a good variety of 8 tracks, including the case, for around 30 bucks





The most heaters I've ever seen collected


and yes, I did pass on this Harley.

of the hundreds of 8 tracks at the swap meet, I tried to put together a good collection so if when I get an 8 track player, my 69 Dodge will be period perfect


they were a buck a piece

I've heard some people go so far as to put change in the ashtray or on the carpet that is no newer than the year their car was made, and get matchbooks from around that year, maps for the glovebox from that era, etc

well done golf cart for use at the drag strip

Coolest thing I saw at the swap meet today, a collection of old tuning equipment, now garage art, priced to sell



this marvelous machine above I think is priced at $900



this is the only one I figured I had any potential to afford, and I was right. $175



Now, if I'd put his business card in my pocket, instead of my car, I'd put his info here.
