I own the Jeep with the Normandin license plate frame. It's one of the oldest dealerships in the country, started in 1875 building buggys and still in business today and still owned by the Normandin Family.
@@rocketresto not sure, a friend in Sacramento had me see if they had any records of his '71 GTX that was serviced there (but not bought) in '72 or '73. They didn't have those records. An episode of Graveyard Cars very briefly shows a photo of the Rapid Transit System in front of the dealership.
Keep in mind was in my booth all day trying to sell stuff so the swap tour was after a lot of people had left (business first) and the car show was Sunday morning before the show had filled out.
Hey like the swap meet videos, nice to see whats out there. Aways interested in what parts are going for and whats hot, interesting enough I've got a 71 RR with the San Jose-Normandin plate frame on it and its from the San Jose area. Jealous of the weather down there we're still in semi winter mode here in Mt.
Liked this one alot sir. I have never been to a swap meet. Showing your purchases was very insightful. Recently decided to own a slant 6 truck and am very interested in east coast swap meets. Thank you for the curiosity/idea.
@@SypherF Depending on where you live in WVa., the Canfield, Ohio ( south of Youngstown ) swap meet was huge on this past Fri., Sat. About half were gone by Sunday though. The next ones are in July and Sept, I think, check to make sure!! Springfield, Ohio used to be good, as well as the ones in Carlyle, Pa. Happy hunting!
Some of the used parts asking prices have made it more economical to buy the re-pops. By the time you drag it home, spend your time fixing/prepping/cleaning/painting or re-furbishing? It's a wash or you are backwards in the process
That kit body is on a Fiat 850 Spyder, not a Porsche 914, pretty odd looking beastie. Also, pretty sure those weren't RX7 wheels, really similar but wrong hole pattern/spoke count.
@@rocketresto maybe RX4 or Cosmo, it's been a while since I saw either of those. All the early RX cars use the same 4x110mm bolt pattern (except RX7 GSL-SE).

Super cool! Wonder if they have any of the old records of cars they sold.

Gotta love an old fashion swap meet.
14:43 is me filling out some paper work 😉
The Pomona Swap Meet is giant at least a square mile of parts and vehicles for sale and in Long Beach CA there is a High Perf Swap Meet.
The PIR swap meeting in Portland, OR is pretty big. Should check that out
Yep we go every year!
That was fun
I own a 70 AMX. Mopar guys always stick us AMCers in the back, hundreds of yards away from the main infield. LOL!! 14:20.
Ya, kinda
hi great swap meet hope you found what you needed
Always find something good.
Hadn't been to Spring Fling in over 8 years. I remember it being a lot bigger show back then but still a good showing. Hope it's not on the decline.

Was perfect weather.

Lots on the east coast and Midwest, not many west of the Mississippi.
@@rocketresto just learned about one in PA that hosts many events. Nothing super close to WV.

still ty for info its within planning distance
I missed you at the show, you did get me in your video talking to Scott Lindsey about sweptline pick ups.
Saw Scott briefly, sorry I missed you.
No worries, I’m sure we will meet at some point
Love it thank you 👍🏻
Did Hemi miss you ? TY for taking us along , physically can't get around like I use to. Your sharing the experience is a mental God sent. ✌️
He’s a golden, always happy to see me when I get home!
@@rocketresto I'm sure , just gave me warm fuzzies when I wrote it.
You guys need to come to Mopars in the park stillwater Mn.First week in June thanks for the video.
We are currently planning on being out there, great show!
Cool video,,, those blowers look like a marine application?? Pretty cool finds
Think more semi truck. The super - turbo charger is two stroke Detroit diesel.
Thanks for Sharing

Will try to do more of that. We live swap meets but like buying more than selling.
@@rocketresto I understand on a truly valuable/rare vehicle as well as "No re-pop's available" having to go the used or NOS route, too-
You pointed your camera at my car and walked the other way. I see how you are.😅
I swear it was on purpose 😂

What do the Mazda wheels fit then? Little out of our area of expertise on this one.

Any idea where I could find a 72 polara? Either a 2 or 4 door?
Not easy to find anymore, keep an eye on Facebook marketplace and forcbodiesonly
So, did you sell more than you bought?
No 🤦♂️
