Local Swapmeet
Our town pop. is 63,000 but we have the fair grounds for the county. We are having the big annual Auto swap meet today and Sunday. I got up bright and early to get there (I am NOT a morning person, grumble grumble) It took me over 2 hours just to walk up and down most of the isles. This must have doubled our population for the weekend. You couldn't come within a mile and a half without getting stuck in traffic.
![]() ![]() There were a couple nice 73-87 chevy trucks, burbs, and blazers, but none of them were really picture worthy. Our trucks are all in better shape. One that caught my eye was a 85 black C-10 that was bagged. Billet dash and bags were the only mods. The bed was notched and nicely filled over - 4 link rear. He was asking $10,000. Ouch. I saw 3 tach dash clusters at one place and I thought Jackpot! I can sell them on e-bay! Look on back at the price tags - $165 each! ![]()

I didn't get to go. Would have if I had some money. Don't know if there was anything I could score for my "too new" truck.
![]() Maybe you know my friend Peter with the Eclipse? I've talked to the guy (forget his name) with the purple Skylark out at Montpelier Rd along time ago, I used to see him here in town quite a bit. I see alot of members, a guy with a Black SS Nova I see here in town alot and i've seen a brown 60-66 in Modesto quite a bit on McHenry.

There's an article in the Sept. 1988 Lowrider that I have that says Modesto has "Graffiti Nights". It's organized cruising on McHenry, does that still go on today? Tim? Anyone else near there...
