What did you score at the swap meet today ?

[speedwell]

That crank doesn't look counterweighted to me, Ryan

A few weekends ago at the Vegas Bug-O-Rama I spotted some old Weber carbs in the swap section. 36DCF's they were... My first thought (and hope!) was that they were Ferrari carbs, so I broke out my mobile and googled "Weber 36DCF". Sure enough, Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferrari came up. Without even taking a close look I asked the gentleman how much, he said $50 for the box. That's a gamble I'm willing to take Got them home and searched through the box, found 2 sets of 37mm IDA venturies which I quickly sold for $40, and a few other misc Weber IDF items that I gave to Slinger. Put the rest on eBay last Saturday, and they seem to be doing quite well

WOW!   

[Zach Gomulka]

Felt like I hit the lottery yesterday! Still can't quite believe it!!

[Bryan67]

I just figured out what you were talking about Zach. Nice profit on those for sure. I would have walked right by them.

[Ninho/DKM]

The same lottery for me, found this 4,5"x15 a couple week ago in a swap meet of old italian cars near where i live. He was asking 120 euro, i took it home for 90!!!!

[Worm]

Felt like I hit the lottery yesterday! Still can't quite believe it!!

DUDE!!!!!  $3000 dollars???  All I can say is WOW.  And amazing.

[Nico86]

I guess there will be some work done on the GTV ! 

[Zach Gomulka]

Yes, indeed Top priority will be paying down some bills first though. What boggles my mind is that it took me a couple months to unload my cherished Porsche Cosmics at $2650, and a week to get more than that out of some knackered old Webers. I'm pretty sure we're all messing with the wrong cars!!

[Bill Schwimmer]

Seems funny Does'nt it.  Take a look @ the value of the car the Cosmic's are going on , Versus  the value of the car the Webers are going on, that might explain it

[Rennsurfer]

Although not "Cal-Look", I found a pair of slotted "Pre-A Porsche" 16 inch rims for $40.00 for the pair !
 

VERY cool! A set of those with widened ones on the rears would look great on a Cal Look VW.

The  deals are still out there,...just not as obvious anymore and disappear more quickly. good score.

[bugnut68]

I just picked up another load of parts (nothing exciting by any stretch) for $25 bucks yesterday... at the very least, I got an entire IRS transaxle that, in theory, I should be able to get a core charge from at German Transaxle in Bend to recoup my initial investment and then some... and then there's a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that I should be able to sell, hopefully, to further fund Project '70.  Always keepin' my eyes open, even if a bit of travel is involved.... I can always find a reason to make a day trip.

They also look great the way they are on my 1953 Porsche !
 

[IP359]

A rare original 70 bus Hi roof in very fair condition for a bargain price.
Cal-look or 100% original ? that's the question 

[speedwell]

i remember in the late 90's the ice cream trader ran(drove) in a model heightened as that but with windows

[empicolector]

I score this yesterday

[.]

Not exactly from a swap meet.
Years ago my local VW / Porsche dealer became a VW only dealer due to the economy.
I ended up with all three Porsche signs from the outside of the building.
Recently I was back and one of the mechanics asked why I never bought the interior sign ?
I said I never knew there was one !
He took me over to the service side of the building and said "look up" !
Well. now it is mine and will be hanging in my garage soon !
 

[IP359]

A beautiful set of original spider mag in 15''
  

[Lee.C]

NICE! 

[Diederick/DVK]

Beautiful!

[carlito421]

this is my last score.

Kaco lamp


Not so "cal-look" but nice object.

[Fastbrit]

I have a couple of different styles of those lying around somewhere – heaven knows where they are, but they're there somewhere! NOS, too. 

[speedwell]

6v dynamo stand , and a merged exhaust 

[lowfastbus]

A Formula France 4-spoke wheel for 5€! 

[IP359]

One more stuff......
 

[Lids]

One more stuff......
 

not bad for $40, did you get the other one for $20 as well!

[Rennsurfer]

Oh, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK... doesn't that EMPI insignia look rather familiar?
