Van Nuys Spring Fling 2022 date is set!

[autoxcuda]

There’s some cool stuff I keep hearing that coming…it just keeps building up…this is going to be a bigger show than normal... People haven't been out in 2 years, swappers haven't been able to sell in 2 years...

Famous racers Paul Rossi and Bob Tarozzi the 68 Hemi A-body creator will have a booth at the show…

Just heard about a survivor 1 owner, 73k mike so cal 340 duster for sale in swap.

Got a new swapper from Utah with really some cool 2nd and 3rd gen Charger parts. 68 complete 3 speaker dash, 71 r/t doors, etc. 71-up truck parts, lots of road signs, big spot.

Even more common parts like person clearing out their garage with a 360 std bore short block under that sounded reasonably priced.

Those are just snippets of some of the swap banter feedback.

And bigger than normal spots.. lots of 60’ (3 spots) sellers. We’ll be parking swap tighter than last few years in anticipation.

You guys.. BRING YOUR CASH !

… if you don’t find something special you can always take your cash back home. But the deal you missed will be gone forever!

Or show your dodge it in the show field. That’s per feed parking! Just walk your parts back to your car. Keep food and drink in the trunk. Food and drink savings will pay for show spot.

you can also go back and forth to your car to check what parts you need or might find in better condition

Great idea.

Great idea.

Just remember the exit gates don't open until 1pm we'll try to open a little earlier. And if you are parts shopping make sure to come Saturday. Early bird gets the worm !

This show is shaping up to being something very special. The numbers of people coming is growing daily. More and more people are taking advantage of our “on site trailer parking” and the early swap setup. Your not going to want to this show.

Question. If I come and show my car. Would it be ok to hand out stickers and catalogs from my old workplace? I was a senior engine tech for Scat Crankshafts.

Yes. Put a stack at the club tent.

Your kits are great. And you’re local. Just 25 miles south of show.

I’ve got a 4” rotating balanced assy in a 340 in my Barracuda. And have ProCar Rallye seats. Love them.

Do you have a rep shop that comes to the show? Glendora Dodge? Maybe lend that shop some display advertising. Really would like to see your product represented.

Brian at IMM Engines has always considered vending. Maybe Tom Sheib? and Brian could work something out ?

Just this morning we beat our record for Swap Meet Pre Reg by 2 spots over the past 10 years! There's STILL 2 weeks until the show. * See post above about bringing cash for parts ;)

This show is officially Record Setting!

Show cars are looking very strong too.

Trailered Show Cars: Lots of show cars are utilizing the Friday and Saturday night early trailer parking. That allows people to park the trailers and tow vehicles overnight. Or what most do, take there tow vehicles back the hotel. It's only $25 extra for both nights.

I would love to see Scat there, as a vendor, showing their engine components and the seats. Need to fit my biscuits to one of the seats so I know which one fits best. Otherwise I'll have to wait until November in Vegas at SEMA.

 

[Gunner1]

I’ll find out.

I’m digging my old wreck out for the Show. It has been dormant lately. I figure that there are enough guys going who can fix it if it breaks. It’s an 8 hour or so ride from San Jose. The boys are threatening to bring their Classics too. I have recently been spoiled by new high horsepower and reliable technology. I don’t expect to get to get to LA

and find a bunch of modern Mopar and pick up trucks. Bring the old stuff this year. Any year could be the last hurrah.

 

[Gunner1]

Had a tuned 300 SRT8 Triple Black. It made 430 at the tires. Almost never got a thumbs up or atta Boys. This POS 63 is a total conversation starter.
