Always a favorite for me for 20+ years.I'm signed up for the auction again,hopefully I can get away this year.

 

ill be there on Sat.

 

I may go on Saturday to get tires for the Convertible.

 

Probably Friday for me.

 

I'm retired so I'll spend 2 days in Englishtown next week, 4 days in Carlisle, and then 4 days in Hershey the following week. If you're a car nut, you can't beat this time of the year.

 

Headed there on Saturday to find some floor pans, a core support, body bushings, and to look at suspension parts. It will be my first time at the show, so I hope that it is as good as I have heard.

 

Put your good sneakers on and make sure you have plenty of energy to walk up the mountain in the north east corner of the fairgrounds.

 

Will be there friday! might even go to williamsgrove for the sprint car race (National open Fri & Sat night)

 

For the TCers going, we'll be in the same spots as the spring show IN 60 through 66 under the tree near gate 3. Stop by, take a load off, and have a cold one.:beers:

 

So what's the veredict on Carlisle. Vendors, parts, cars for sale, etc, etc. Tell us about it.

 

I actually went today. not all the vendors were there, it was a bit rainy when I got there, I had an agenda and didn't wander from it. I only bought brake lines for my 80 GMC pickup project and left around 1:30.

 

Anyone score anything cool. I just bought little stuff from Ausleys.

 

I never made it there. Got up at 4 to leave, felt very ill, saw it was raining and went back to bed.

 

We were set up on the Midway and spoke with a few Team Chevelle members... anyone here speak with us?

It was very rainy and muddy, but overall the turn out seemed good.

 

I seen u guys, didnt get to speak with anyone loved the displays if i ever upgrade it will be your stuff it looked bitchin! :thumbsup:

 

My first time at Carlisle, and even though the weather was less than perfect and some vendors had already left on Saturday it was awesome. Less than 25% of the vendors were there on Sunday. I will admit that I was a little overwhelmed at first, even though I heard that it was huge I wasn't prepared for all of the goodies....sensory overload.

I did end up finding everything that I was looking for: stage 2 handling kit from UMI (the guys were great and the display was very cool), 4 wheel disc brake kit, and some sheet metal and body bushings from Ausley's. The guys at Ausley's were very helpful and they had a ton of stuff. It's going to be a busy winter.

Looking forward to going back next spring!

 

Thanks for the purchase

The best day to go in Spring and Fall is Friday. Saturday is still very good if the weather is decent but if you are looking for swap meet items it is usually picked over.

 

You Guys didn't miss anything but this !!!!

Lightning hit 50 yards from us that will leave a lasting memory !!!!

We even had hail, and high winds Too !!!!

The white specs you see everywhere is Hail !!!!!!!

We only had about a half a day worth of non rainy weather to open up !!!! All of the vendors agree worst weather Carlisle ever !!!!

 

We got there on Friday afternoon, and left at about noon on Saturday. Found a few items for the 74, but not much. Found a few Pinto parts too, good time...

BTW: Its not Carlisle without rain!!

Great pics, Jim. I looked for you on Friday, but did not see you. Have to agree that the best day is Friday. I left home at 0230 and was at gate one by 0530. It's a 200 miles one way trip for me.
How many of you noticed the sky high prices of metal signs? Those Coca Cola ones are extremely expensive. The cheapest one I saw was 4"X18" for $268.00. The large Texaco one was a cool $4,000.00. The rustier they were the more they cost. it seem these signs are better deal than NOS parts when it comes to flip them.
Also notice more and more gas pumps were being bought.
Carlisle for firsttmer can be very overwhelming. I took a friend there for the first time and all he kept saying was, "It's incredible the junk people haul here. Taking it it back home is a nightmare." I had to agree I struggle with one engine and these people brign 5,6,7 of them.

 

After seeing the pictures,I don't feel so bad not being able to go.

 

Shew glad i missed all that rain. Got there a 7am on Sat with just a lil sprinkle for about half hour. Stayed cloudy till bout 230 then the steady rain came and we called it quits.

 

i always go up on Thursday, weather was good, def not earlier in the week, those pics were unbeliveable
I think the UMI guys were still asleep when i came thru, lol-was gonna talk to them about some stuff i got, i'll give them a call later
looked like some guys didnt show that were gonna sell parts, empty spaces
