Thinking about making the 2+ hour drive up to Daytona this weekend to cruise the Swap Meet. Wondering if it is worth the trip for a Mopar guy looking for some parts anymore? Back in the 1990's, I used to go almost every year with a couple of buddies and a load of parts to sell. It was always worth it because we ended up basically getting our entire weekend paid for plus went home with money and parts we needed for our various projects.

That being said, I haven't been to one in about 15 years or so. I need to get a hood, trunk lid, and seats for my 1970 Duster project. Not selling anything. Should I plan on going and hunting for my parts? Or is it mainly Chevy and Ford stuff and not worth my time so I should just go fishing on my boat instead?

I was at the Nov. Turkey Rod and bought a lot of MoPar stuff. Well worth the trip, especially if it’s only a 2 hour drive.

Good to know. Maybe I will forgo fishing for parts hunting then smile

If it wasn’t 11 hours I would be there. I was in Cocoa beach last week, perfect weather. JAndJ in Starke usually attends, call him and he will deliver if he has it, so will Stevens if they are there. I found lots of good stuff mixed in with brand X parts too. If you want a good breakfast to kick off the day hit Crabby Joes on the Sunglow pier in Daytona Beach Shores.

Never been, but considering going this weekend,
Where is the parking, wondering if I should drive my Challenger, or take the DD?

If you take it in the show the Challenger would be fun. If you park In The general population take the DD, not a great parking lot outside the show for a classic
