The Things You See When.........
« on: October 07, 2021, 03:14:27 PM »
Went to Hershey today. For those that dont know its one of the largest auto swap meets in the country. Mostly pre war stuff and I dont think I have ever seen anything firebird related other than manuals. I dont go looking for parts, as much as just walking around and seeing all of the 'junk' for sale and the car corral sales. A Company had a windshield that I need for my 79 for $120. and there was a guy with a mint pair of t/a fenders. No rust, no dents. $50 for both!  I didnt have my cart and the walk back to the truck was about 5 miles. Had to pass on both.  I did see a trans am dash but it needed restored, no big deal, but it had a $200 asking price.
Finished!

The fenders would have been worth going back for, could have made few hundred from each.

It was tough to walk away, believe me. I even started looking for a cart of some kind for sale and saw nothing. Then I got the crazy idea of offering someone in golf car to pick them up for me for $50. I just figured that I know I didnt need them, and I have enough stuff laying around as is, But.........
