Pre Registration is up 30% Show Car and 19% Swappers from last show (pre-pandemic)

This Fall Fling predicts to be between Spring Fling and Fall Fling size.

Quite a few cars showing up that have been restored or bought in the last two years. Definitely new stuff to see.

Bring CASH ! lots of swappers.

I'll be tere to sell some stuff. Maybe check out the show around noon when the gates get closed. Thanks for putting on some fun for us mopar guys.

Just to clarify

Entry gate closes at 10 am
Exit gate open at 1 pm

No vehicle movement 10-1

Why is that? I have wondered for years why the car show participants are locked in.

LA Park Dept mandated safety rule.

Malibu Cruise is off and running!

Malibu Cruise today…

on PCH

Thanks, I have heard that before but it still doesn't answer the question.
Why would they mandate it? What is unsafe about an open gate at 1:00 that is suddenly safe at 1:01 ?
I'm not trying to be difficult, I just don't see the logic.

They do t want people Cruising around during a show.

I do remember when people would literally drive around to look at cars instead of walking. One incident years ago was ridiculous and person refused to stop. Was like a tour bus with one person. Was a causal moparts member here years ago with 2 door wagon. Person has since passed.

Well, dang it....now you had to make sense, didn't you?
I get that. I did not think of that. Thank you!

Were there a lot of modern LX type cars in attendance compared to older stuff?

Maybe one row. 30-40 out of 200 cars. It rained in morning. Would have been even higher percentage of older stuff without the rain.

Notable cars that stopped by the rain: 68 Hemi Charger 4sp, promo red/red 440-6 4spd Challenger conv, AMC Machine, Superbird, Daytona, just off top of my head that I knew about.

Even yet, still bunch of super cool rare older muscle cars.

Were the two “max wedge” cars for sale real? Seller didn’t know much about documenting them.

For those they went what did you buy in the swap.

These were my buys:

3- vanity license plates - $30

Mopar sign - $ 20

Mopar parts sign - $ 20

Convertible Window molding for my 68 Dart $100

July 1967 dated 340 intake for my Barracuda or $ 90

3- 67-early 68 stainless Dart wheel lip molding (1 good, 1 w/fixable tweak, 1 w/ harder to fix dent), 2- aluminum 67-76 rear moldings (one gouge but fixable) - $40

2 convertible rear ash trays no pits for my '68 Dart $ 5

Lisle Pitman puller $15 (don't trust my Harbor Freight one)

A-body body plug kit for my '68 Dart - $10

This was a cool pair of 71 Cuda’s

Should have posted
More pics from show and swap.

Here’s some sorta rare/odd stuff in the swap

This NOS headpipe is ultra rare. It’s for the 64 Tri Y spaghetti exhaust manifolds that maybe 2-3 sets exists??

Also in the middle of the rocker picture, I think there’s a set of BB Norris rockers?

Odd valve cover mod. And check out the Tri Power Ford FE intake in the back!

Are there more Tri-Y headpipes floating around than manifolds.

IIRC, Seller at Fall Fling said he go them from a racer. They didn’t have any marks from being bolted to anything. Wondered if they were ordered by mistake. Or more headpipes built in anticipation for manifolds that’s were not built?
