Anybody getting ready for Chryslers at Carlisle?

We're thing about going to Chryslers at Carlisle this year anybody getting ready or planning to go?

I have my same vendor spaces paid for since October.
I will have an assortment of early b-body parts.
Hopefully I can make it there this year
Ed

Yes.. sent in my show field entry back in December for my D150 .. made a hotel reservation also.

We gotta send in our money for our space.We be there for a few days this year can't wait!

Yes. We're going this year.
Since we just moved to PA, not far from Carlisle, last August we're going to check out every Carlisle show this year! (Our daughter gave my wife and I season passes for Christmas!). We've only ever been to the Chrysler show (30+ years attending). Looking forward to experience the others (although we will probably skip the import show).

We're taking a slightly different approach to what we bring to Chryslers @ Carlisle though. My wife decided to get into the act and we're putting her 2016 Dodge Dart GT on the snowfield. She ordered it directly from Chrysler so she could get what she wanted - 6 Spd, GT (turbo, sport suspension), and sunroof. I have to admit, it is a fun little car to drive - especially in the curvy, mountainous roads of central PA!

Feel free to look me up when you're here! I'm at every show, pretty much from open until close. You can also ask me about any of the events and I will give you an honest answer/opinion. Although I run Chrysler (and some other events here), I'm involved in all of them. You can email me at EdB@CarlisleEvents.com if you prefer.

Where in PA are you located?

Ed

He guys will be there with our blacked out hemi ram.My wife and are looking forward to the show! Trying to do something different with the ram this year.Cant afford a classic mopar so we're trying to have fun with our hemi ram!

Hi Ed!
You've helped me in the past on here through PM and it was much appreciated!

We're in Shirley, PA (Yes, I can be serious ). It's a little over an hour west of Harrisburg in Huntingdon County.

Been going since 1992 and will never miss it! I generally get ready about a week before...LOL..

Very cool!The first time I went was in 1997 .Its a cool show to go to!

Will be there in the Chrysler relatives class with my 1971 Simca 1204 GLS.

I've actually wanted to see a Simca in person. Will have to check it out.

This year I'm doing an imperial theme. Will be set up at the end of the midway as usual. We have to go through 2 of the cars, but I think we're good. Last years setup almost killed me. Will be nice to have an easier setup.

Ooppss thanks!I forgot I did a post a while ago!

with increased costs and my retirement account down 1/3 i cant afford to go

Only increased cost is fuel. I got a hotel last year and the gate fee is the same.

We're wondering if Mr.Norms will be a vendor there?

I just retired but we had to adjust our budget,put our mopar muscle car dreams on hold and I'm taking a part time job to make ends meet.lol but I'm enjoying retirement

retirement is worse than work !
something is always breaking around here, or we have doctor and hospital "visits" !

You mean like packing my bags already? Usually the night before.

The car is registered and we have a hotel room… it’s all good! 👍

Very cool!

Got our Carlisle registration and sticker I'm sure we'll find something we don't need but we'll buy anyway!

Got my registration a few days ago, but going to Belvidere the weekend before.

I have my same vendor spaces paid for since October P-214 to P-220
I will have an assortment of early b-body parts.
I will be there this year
Ed

I'll be there. Our group always does very well in the show field.

Very cool!

Of course you all do well, you vote for yourselves. THere is a certain a body that gets a first place every year, the gap between the fender and hood is just hideous. He's in one of the local clubs. Voting at Carlisle means nothing.

A big undertaking as always to go to to Carlisle. Will be bringing 2 Ghia limo's and the S&M GT1 car. Buddy Martin will be up on Saturday and will be part of Dad's seminar on the main stage Saturday. He'll also be around to sign autographs. At least 2-3 additional cars will be driven up, but not sure what we're bringing just yet.

We dont have a "club". Just guys that are3 local to each other.
My class dosent vote for any of the classes with my friends. They are all A/B body and my E-Body form never has voting for those classes.

Looks like Dodge thrill rides and free stuff are back as well as burnouts!

I"ll be there, Lord willing Friday and Saturday

week later date created a conflict so i wont be there

It would be nice to meet moparts people,sorry to hear some of you can't make it.Mike it'll be cool to meet you and you're dad and see the seminar,and meet some great mopar legends,andsee your great cars!Maybe pick up some cool stuff!

Hi All,

Man it's been awhile since I posted, I just don't get on here much anymore. I just wanted to let everyone know that my stepdad and I will be going to Carlisle this year and we will be travelling there on Wednesday, leaving at 7am and meeting a friend or 2 along the way. If all goes good with traffic and all we should be there early afternoon. The Great Pumpkin or our 1970 Fury III FK3 Burnt Orange 4-door hardtop will be going this year for its debut show, (for us anyway) and will be in the survivors tent display. We will also be bringing this in the 2nd picture, our big beige 1973 Plymouth Custom Suburban station wagon. It will be in the 1969-1973 C-body stock class. If you see us behind either of these 2 cars and would like to, stop by and say hello.

I can't believe the show is only 4 days away now, I can't wait. It's always a great time.


See everyone there!

Very cool!We can't wait either maybe will see you guys and your cars there.
!

Those of you who have been by my spaces before know the volume of parts I try to take...

I haven't been there for the past 5 years so I have a lot of different stuff I have accumulated since then...

I have been loading everything I am not using for my cars...

I'm going to have a 1$ and 5$ table for a ton of small parts I need to get rid of as I am no longer storing this stuff...

There are 8 B and C Body rears with a few sets of different gear ratios...10 and 11" backing plates and drums...

A ton a small 63-5 B body parts...dashes and a lot of stainless trim for A and B Bodies...

I have a collection of aftermarket vintage valve covers I was gathering up to put on the wall in the garage and decided to part with them all instead...

Taking a few cast iron and aluminum intakes for B...RB and LA...

A pile of driveshafts and a 4 speed hump and Bellhousing removed from a 69 Roadrunner...

A 65 B and T 4 speed A 833 from a Barracuda and some 65B 4 speed pedal assemblies...

I am also liquidating several sets of aluminum slots along with 3 sets of rear burnout tires and wheels for anyone wanting some...

No E Body parts but a lot of early B Stainless along with some extra nice 65 C Body interior chrome...

I'll also have about 30 various steel wheels in both 14 and 15"...

Several nice parts for a 68 Satellite including a pretty decent tail panel trim...

I'm pulling in Thursday morning in spaces P214-P216 right beside Ed...

Not bringing anything
Not selling anything
Bringing some $ bourbon and beer !

Looks like you're spots are the places to be lol.Maybe I can buy some parts I don't need for a one day project like a roadrunner

If possible fill your gas tank before you get to Pa. I was racing in Ohio over the weekend and bought over 60 gallons of gas in Ohio at 4.51 and was treated by 4.89 at the Pa border. 35 miles later in my rural area it was 4.75 a gallon.

Is there a Moparts tent this year?

Thanks for the gas price info,PA can be bad we're coming from south jersey we'll gas up the hemi truck before we leave.And will there be a moparts tent?That's a great question.
.

Gassed up the hemi truck at wawa.$95.16

The online event guide show no Moparts tent.

That sucks

My first time entering a car at Carlilse my daughter and I were excited about trying to get a trophy in my class. Of course it was just my opinion but I didn`t see any cars in my class that year that I thought would do better. I was thinking I could get 1st place. I didn`t really know anybody back then at the show. Many of the others I noticed knew each other and seemed to be in the click. My daughter went over to see the winners list and she was crying saying we only got 3rd place. I was actually happy about winning knowing that many others were all voting for each other. After that I never cared if I won anything or not.

Truck is ready for the showfield and is in the trailer ready to leave at 5 a.m. Friday

Sorry about you're car show experience,hopefully if you enter you're car things will be better.My wife and I will be heading out tomorrow got the ice chest in the truck,and our umbrella from our deck,beach chairs.Tomorrow will get ice and bring Bahama mamas,wine and waters gotta keep hydrated ya know!

Cars are not Judged at Carlisle. They are voted on. I brought a 71 GTX 6bbl car that had been picked by Chrysler to be in their display at SEMA. They paid to have the car transported to and from SEMA. It won First at the Mopar Nats and every show it ever appeared in. We brought it to Carlisle. Nothing. Won nothing. I have never returned to this show, nor will I ever bring a car again. It is great place to get parts and meet with friends. Judged car show it is not.

The great pumpkin looks great! I love it!

Big Rain ThunderStorms coming for lunchtime . Don't forget to tie down those portable shade Tents , We always see them Fly and Crash into somebody's nice Paint Job ! Ronnie

3,101 cars in the show to set an all-time record. I sit down in the Celebrity Luncheon (no, I am NOT a celebrity!) and who should sit down right across from me but Miss Claudia, the Direct Connection girl we all loved so... amazing how she managed to transport me back in time right to being a tongue-tied adolescent. She was a lot of fun to talk to, although I felt bad for her hubby, as he might have said three or four words. Have an old Car Craft with an article about the Sox & Martin team that is divided into three sections—"If Ronnie Drives the Cars, and Jake Builds the Engines, What does Buddy Do?" Ronnie had signed his part of the article in 2000. I worked just a couple blocks away from where Jake had his very last shop here in Burlington, NC and got him to sign his part just a few years before he passed, and finally was able to get Buddy to sign his part at the show. To say I was stoked about that is an understatement. It was a Mopar quest completed for me. All around it was a great show in spite of the rain on Saturday!

didnt go and dont miss. become too many new challenger chargers and trucks

There isn't a show in the country that has as many pre 1979 mopars as this show. It's not even close, regardless of how many newer models show up.

true, but in my opinion its not worth spending over 1000 dollars for 3 days.

Well: in maybe 10 years those will be the "vintage" cars at shows.
If during that time, they "disappear" (fuel, electric, etc), they'll be collectibles.
Just changing demographics.
Who still goes to the Hershey show?
Was always 20-30-40's cars

Thank goodness it wasn't this weekend with the record heat wave in the high 90s
