Auction & swap meet in Puyallup, WA, anyone going?
 

Any of the Seattle-area folks heading to the Corvette & High Perf swap meet and Silver auction on Sat? I'll be there, but my buying will be limited to the swap meet. The preliminary auction list shows four Chevelles - 67, 68 SS, 69 SS & 72 ragtop.

Rainer,
I will be there bright and early. Bud and Denis have their mondo pile of "treasure" over by the fountain next to the pavilion, if you get there early and buy some of Bud's junk he will give you a beer!

You'll probably see Chuck (CamarosRUs) running around as well somewhere.

Sam, I'm going only due to my lifelong addiction......but IMHO, this swap pales to what our midwest & eastcoast friends know as real swap meets.....

I found a black 69 Camaro there with a very rare trans option but it was already sold.

Good one, Kase~ The rest of the car was suited to the trans, although I did not take a camera.

JUST MISSED on a '70 Camaro 12-bolt for $450. Still stings a little...
Found some funky orange M/T big block covers for cheap, though https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Best part was, sunshine for all three days, and highs in the 50's!

Bud and Denis must have sold everything, they were long gone by noon today https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif...not even any dust left behind in their spot!

Hey Bud, didja find anything to buy??

Re: Auction & swap meet in Puyallup, WA, anyone going?
 

yep....some very cool stuff..took a dep on the blue car..have a lead on two more neat pieces..is that good???? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

sold a pile of stuff but I swear we loaded a ton of crap back in the trucks.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Auction & swap meet in Puyallup, WA, anyone go
 

Bunch of tightwads. Thank goodness I shared the stall with Bud who bought half my stuff.

Re: Auction & swap meet in Puyallup, WA, anyone go
 

OK, got the chance to finally meet some folks from this site. Stopped by Denis' and Bud's space and asked about buying a fake trim tag. That got a good reaction https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Anyway, nice meeting you guys. Sorry I didn't get a chance to stop back, but I spent a little too much time at the auction and had to jet. Also sorry I missed Sam, but I got to see his sweet Camaro ragtop in the pavillion https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: photos, I didn't take much. Here are a few cars that went thru the auction. Charger bid into the 30's but didn't meet the reserve of around $42K. 68 Chevelle SS was a real deal SS, clean car that sold before I got there, price unknown. 69 Chevelle SS was also real deal SS with POP. Nice California car with built 396. Bid to $18K, but owner was looking for $20K even. It may have sold after crossing the block - lots of people around the owner afterwards. Nice car for the money if someone stepped up. One other noteworthy car which I did not get pix of was a 68 Camaro SS with the L89 engine. Original Nevada car with a notarized affidavit from a previous owner about its heritage. For sale by an infamous Portland-area dealer who I'm guessing the Camaro guys know all about https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif Car was announced as a restamp while on the block. The pad looked it plain as day. Bid to $62K and was a no-sale. Supposedly sold for around $80K just two years ago.

Probably a better place to be a buyer than a seller, which seems to be the case with these smaller auctions.

Re: Auction & swap meet in Puyallup, WA, anyone go
 

You're talking about Mark Young from Chev Connection in Portland. He was there with a few cars, notably the L89 68 Camaro mentioned earlier. He lost a court case over that car, instigated by the Barrett-Jackson buyer a couple of years back. Macneish testified. I called Jerry and he told me that Young had to take the car back after losing the case. Interesting to see the same car, same "paperwork", at Puyallup. Clearly, he's trying to pawn the car off on unsuspecting buyers at smaller auctions now that the B-J buyers are aware of the shenanigans.

Oh, and his girlfriend is doing the Paris Hilton thing now with the little drop-kick dog.
