Phillip - Thanks for your feedback.   It was a good time - good food - good beer - good people and a lot of schweet rides.  I've been attending on/off for 20+ years and it has changed sometimes from year to year but I've always enjoyed it. My friend sold some A-model and 41 Ford parts and I saw alot of people carrying parts. HNR does a great job with the event!!!!!

General Discussion / 09 CHARLOTTE AUTOFAIR - 254 PHOTOS

« on: April 06, 2009, 01:05:07 PM »

Just thought some of you may be interested in some shots from the AutoFair.  There are several photos of some Camaros that were for sale.  I tryed to take a photo of the price when one was posted - it usually is the slide after or prior. There is also many photos of Rat Rods, grocery getters', street rods, customs, low riders, etc.  Most were for sale, but some were in the car show.

Follow the link and you can left click on the photo to enlarge, you can also left click a second time (on photo)  and hit full screen and see a larger photo.  You can also view as a slide show.

I thought the AutoFair was OK.  I believe it is following the trend of other swap meets - new vendors.  I didn't see near as much used Camaro or NOS parts as I had seen in previous years.  The amount of Camaros in the Car Corral and swap meet was also down.  Not sure what this means, but the prices are still up.  With that being said - I'm not sure any were sold, maybe displayed!  The quality of Camaros were not as good in my opinion.  A lot of remakes and strong drivers- local show cars - priced like #1 cars.  I'm not sure if I'm out of touch or they were.  It was a topic of conversation by many.

I didn't find anything - but still had a great time.

General Discussion / Correct water pump for 67 SS 350?

« on: March 18, 2009, 03:14:11 PM »

Does anyone know the correct water pump for a 67 ss 350?  I have found the casting number (3782608) but I'm confused in that some are listed for all small blocks, but the 350ci.  Is this because of the year of manufacture only?  As long as the casting is correct, will it work?  I'm not really as much interested in having the correct date code, I just want to get rid of the bypass fitting. Any insight is appreciated!

lol - I guess I would have to agree. A retro ride with a new wave paint scheme.  GM has had rectal craniel inversion syndrome.

Last year I stated some dislikes about the new Camaro on a forum dedicated to it.  The website had some GM engineers on it - they pulled my comments and booted me from the website. So much for constructive criticism and free speech!

Overall I like the new Camaro fairly well - I can only hope GM figures it out.  At $1.45 a share - it's obvious they are a long way from it.  I wish them the best..... curb finders anyone?

I've heard that if you really enjoy your job, it's not really a job.  I'm sure Jerry is living the good life.

I'm sure there are a few of us, living through him........

Give me Camaros, food, and great places and I would never come home.
