One of my fondest memories of Jefferson was eating breakfast at a table set up in the front yard of a neighbor across from the front gate. The whole town was really into the program back then. Haven't been there in years, but was always a good place to buy, back in the 70's and 80's.

Jefferson was great this year.
I found more than I needed and spent more than I should have...

It is encouraging to hear that there are still some good swap meets out there. Here in North Texas, the largest swap meet, Pate Swap Meet, continues to decline in my opinion. The decline is not in the need or participation but in how poorly it is organized. The swap meet is spread out over a massive area outside the Texas Motor Speedway and the bulk of the vendor spaces are occupied by parked cars, pick-ups, RV's and "private outhouses". In many instances there are 100 yards between actual vendors. If they removed the vehicles and RV's that are not for sale the swap meet area would be 1/3 the size.

Friday was nice all morning, It got windy and blew dust around a lot late morning and then rained from about 1:00 on. I had covered about half of it before the rain started. Saturday was nice, but windy.

Nope, just buying at this one. I'll be selling at the Buick swap next Sunday.

I bought a couple 70-72 SS dome hoods, a Hurst shifter with the correct lever for a bench-seat tri-5, a finned 12-bolt cover, a '68 walnut wheel, a pair of '69 840 heads, 70 290 heads, and a pair of 781s. Some guy with a lot of Mustang parts really wanted to get rid of a few SBC intakes, so I got those really cheap (Edelbrock CB4, Factory '56 Corvette 2x4, and a nice polished Offenhauser 2x4), and scored a Smokey Yunick/Edelbrock SY1 SBC intake in one of the buildings.

The guy I bought one of the SS hoods from stopped at my house on his way home and ended up buying the SY1 and a TR1 from me. I didn't really want to sell either of them, but money talks. They stopped to look at the '70 4spd Malibu that I'm going to be selling real soon, which is what I bought the hood for...
