Just got back. Great two days. Guy had a pair of NOS 70-72 GS/Skylark pair full quarters. Wanted $1000 for the pair. Also saw a passenger NOS front fender for same years. He wanted $1400 for the one! Yikes. Picked up an Edelbrock Performer 455 Intake. I had no need for it, but simply felt terrible leaving it there. Ha. Smattering of some other buick parts, center consoles and sport wheels etc. All in all great two days, no rain.
Yeah.....they were way up top in the back. Ken G and I rounded the corner of an isle, and saw both of them. Full quarters factory, never installed. $1000. Ofcourse the guy had a story for us, but good dude. I would have paid the $1000 but I just don't need them thankfully, especially since I have a pair of full quarter skins up in the attic, though these were way better than the skins I have. We saw bunch 68-69 GS parts as well.
Ugh....yea sorry, in retrospect, I should have taken a pic and posted it on here earlier today. It is so hard to pass up good deals like that. Maybe they are still there tomorrow if you want to drive back, up near Gate 5!
My wife would totally kill me..We went there Wednesday and my AMD 1/4 panel was delivered when I wasn't there.. It was a huge box...She wasn't impressed...lol
I was there today....Had some light rain starting around noon, it got a little heavier but was done by 3:30. I didn't get too wet but with many of the parts tables covered with tarps, it was hardly worth walking around. We hit the auction and hung out for a bit before heading out. Got stuck on Rt 78 eastbound, crawled for over an hour before it cleared up near Harrisburg. I didn't buy much but it was still nice to be there for a day. It's rare to find worthwhile used parts for a 66! It's a great place to buy repo parts and supplies tho. Been going there since the early 80's. Many thought eBay was going to kill it but it survived!
I had the quarters in my hand but took a pass. Not happy with the depth of surface rust as it was knocking on "pitting". I grabbed the center console as wells the shifter he had. I couldn't get the seller below retail for the sport wheel or his console tach.
Greg Smith Equipment was the go-to for lifts. I heard they got bought by Tooltopia/Atlas. Is that what you bought?
Walt, That is what I am getting. I also bought the jack that goes between the rails. Kevin is also getting a jack setup to install in his Atlas lift. I am getting the Pro 9000 extra long,extra wide and extra tall unit. I was approved for the money so now when I get that taken care of,we are heading to Delaware to get the lift and jack units. I looked at the Advantage lifts one but they were way more expensive. But they have a jack tray I plan to get for my lift soon.
On the off chance someone gets there today and they are still available, would anyone be able to get the guys phone number for me? That's unless you are interested. I'd hate to make a 2 hour run each way for nothing..
I saw those quarters there at the end of the day yesterday at about 5pm. They were almost completely covered in surface rust. We walked from about 6 am to 6pm when everything was closing up as we do every year. As usual, not a lot of Buick stuff we needed but I did pick up a set of wheels for the Riviera and a vintage style Moon tach for it and a few odds and ends. We did see a set of K-B 455 valve covers for $550 and a few dual quad setups for both 455's and nailheads. Mostly what we found was way overpriced worn out junk or just new stuff that we could have ordered online. I did get a show discount on the wheels and my son got a great deal from UMI for some suspension parts. I have been going to Spring Carlisle since I was 12 years old with my Dad and this year I was kind of disappointed. I'll still be back next year though. Ken
I don't know. I'm no body work expert like a few of the guys on here. Maybe ask Hugger and see what he thinks. Ken
Surface rust was pretty thick in the left and there is a crease. Most of the edges looked good and retained primer.
