Spring Jefferson

[Voodoo Chick]

So, after all this snow, I'm betting that Spring Jefferson car show/swap meet is going to be like wading through a swamp of mud.....I'm going anyway, but hell, break out the galoshes.....I heard that this Spring's "featured car" is Camaros, all generations. I wouldn't miss that for anything! :banana1:

[LIZMO]

when is it?

[Karps TA]

I see no Waukesha show this year

[SSDude]

I see no Waukesha show this year

Good eye. I didn't notice that one. Waukesha was kind of a light attendance show compared to Jefferson and Elkhorn.

[Rocket Power]

Wow you never see camaros anywhere:rolf:rolf:rolf
**runs and hides**:goof

[Karps TA]

I haven't been to Jefferson in years, but have they empasized the "show" part more now? I seem to remember the car corral having more cars then the show car area back when I used to go. IS the car corral still getting top dollar for cars? I remember it being overpriced.

[b4mytm]

Wow you never see camaros anywhere:rolf:rolf:rolf
**runs and hides**:goof

WATCH IT...or I will only say hi to you once out of the 10 times I will see you there,lol

[Flicktitty]

I'll go out there someday to see what scrap is out there.

[Russ Jerome]

Thats the best part, looking at used crap people are asking for
MORE than it was new!

New Plastic racing bucket from Jegs $40
Your very used cost at Jefferson.....$50!

Convu Pro aluminum rims, dirty and used $150 each
Your new cost shipped from Summit? $110!

Snap On 1/2 drive OEXL Ratchet, $100 used
at Jefferson or $89 off the Sanp on truck!

Where else can you buy the SHAMWOW or Mexichrome
Polish? How about "the clapper"....yup only at Jefferson!

LMAO, that bout sums it up!

But last year or 2 years ago there was a Datsun 240Z forsale there for a good price and i have been kickin my self in the ass since then that i didn't get it.

[hotshift13]

Was it the Datsun a white one at the entrance, I remember that one it was CLEAN! But I had 4 other ones at the time and I had no room for, the guy wanted $1400.00 for it. AT the end of that day I had him down to $1000.00 and he was willing to deliver it to my house. But I kept telling him I HAD NO ROOM!

[Flicktitty]

There was the white one and a Red one waaaaaay in the back for like $2500? but it seemed pretty rust free.

[Rocket Power]

WATCH IT...or I will only say hi to you once out of the 10 times I will see you there,lol
:rolf
That was quicker than I thought figured I'd have to wait till tomorrow to get yelled at:rolf

[Russ Jerome]

A little trick we like ta do to make the spring Jefferson
(very cold usualy) is mix 50% Starbucks to %50 Kahlua.
Makes for a great eye opener and the silly prices seem
all the more funny.

The guy who has all those old intake manifolds on display
is worth the trip for me, cool old school stuff.

$4 beers always taste better than the $4 a 12pack at home.

3yrs ago the 6' tall malt shop girl maniquin, looked like a
pinup girl for $500 would have been a steal.

Counting Commonaro parts for sale keeps a guy busy.

Finding the rare and elusive girl who is hauling parts for
her bib wearing, toothless boyfreind is a treat to see.
Makes a guy wonder where he can get a girl like that!

[nismodave]

I remember when they used to have car parts.

I havent been there in 10 plus years, but even then it was becoming mostly die cast models and 100000 watt amps.

The funniest is the girls that show up in heels. :rolf Yeah that looks comfy.
Or show up to the mudfest in white pants:rolf

[70smuscle]

Is anyone planning on going to the Dells for Automotion this year?

[jbiscuit]

I'll be at spring jefferson....its funny to see a lot of the junk out there but there are some good parts in there yet too. You just have to look

[forest]

ill have a booth, anyone wanna join in?

[Feature Pony]

Nothing like seeing old 80's microwaves for sale and fridges with the we will throw in the stove for free!! I don't understand why some of these people haul that crap along when the dump will take it!! My only thought is they should have sections broken up into mopar, ford, gm, amc and then a section for useless junk that I think I will get rich selling at jefferson.

[slickwilly]

Damn, that's a bit far for me. 60 miles in Wisconsin takes twice as long as 60 miles in Michigan, I think that's why I b!tch so much about driving places. :D

[Nix]

I like seeing all the people with no teeth and they smell like they were just rolling around in a dumpster. Plus all the mullets. :thumbsup

[juicedimpss]

ill have a booth, anyone wanna join in?

i might have some stuff to send with you if i dont list the crap on ebay.

[forest]

ok, i'll have a bunch of chevy stuff and whatnot going. btw, the truck is goin as a roller.... my combo going in the buick instead. had to let you know my $hitbox combo is a little different than planned. same drivetrain though as mentioned before. BTW you got any 10bolt stuff? like 3:73 gear,axles ect?

[Korndogg]

I have a bunch of shit I need to sell.

[forest]

well, if people want to chip in on the $ for the spot ill put it up for us and organize everything.

[70challenger452]

[Flicktitty]

[juicedimpss]

[michelle]

If the weather is nice, I'll drive up there Sunday.

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

I'll be going out there Saturday.

[GRNDNL]

I might be out there with a Camaro for sale.

[Russ Jerome]

I need a $30 container of POR15 if anybody I know is
going for sure, will pre pay and/or add a financial bonus
to anybody who grabs me a pint..or quart whatever
that smaller can is that cost like $30-40.

[Z06 KID]

so goin to jefferson...lookin for a nova and or malibu

[PonyKiller87]

I'll be there, Taking a trailer load of stuff(8 lug chevy axles, TH350 trans, NP203 Tcase, 8.1L BBC....) and my Z71 will be there for sale.

If anyone has something they want to sell PM me Im sure Ill have some space.

Russ I have a bunch of POR15 that Im not going to use, all new un opened if your interested. I think I have quarts of black, gray and the chassis black, and the cleaner and metal ready stuff.

[Rocket Power]

If the weather is nice, I'll drive up there Sunday.
***Fair weather Fairer Alert***:rolf
Nice weather=crowded aisles with slow moving people and strollers
40's and overcast FTW

So would the MOPAR stuff be in the section with the 80's microwaves and fridges?:goof

[ricksws7]

not worth going to anymore. should call it junkfest. And this year in the mud.:goof

Oh snap:rolf

[Flight_740]

Jefferson = a rednecks paradise


The type of person that still has no credit cards or internet to order shit online. What a junk fest.


"Hey der...........I got this homade gokart!!! $300 and its yurs!!! Just hold the carb by hand to go faster"

[Rocket Power]

I don't think I am a redneck, but maybe to the country club crowd:goof

[Flicktitty]

/\X2

i might get up saturday and run out there. see whats in the car corral and swap meet.

[GinoRin]

lots of polished turds at Junkerson. Great place to get rid of crap that noone else wants, though! Ive never had luck selling any cars there, but it seems the sub $4000 cars bring top dollar there. Anything over that, forget it. If the weather is OK i might go, but crutches dont do well in the mud! :punch:

[70challenger]

jefferson's ok. mostly mullets trying to sell dirtrod camaro parts and junk. ill probably rip out there either saturday or sunday depending on what happens with the racecar.

[Voodoo Chick]

I like Jefferson, the experience of going is always weird and kinda funny-cool. I will not be buying any parts for my Camaro there, though. I just can't trust a part purchased from a guy in bib-overalls with no shirt underneath.....and no teeth....I think I'll stick to Classic Industries for all my Camaro parts........

[ffvetteman]

Damn I forgot they were featuring Camaros.

I may have to bring the 70 over there Sunday!!!

[ffvetteman]

Yes there is a lot of crap there, but you can find good buys from time to time.

Last year I found mint complete doors for my truck for $40 each and mint front fenders for my truck for $25 each.

I got all the body parts to rebuild my truck and I got some good prices.

But yes there is a lot of junk, but still worth the trip.

[jbiscuit]

sure there is lots of junk but if you are patient and willing to look, you can find bargains....I found the upper control arms I needed with the hard-to-find cross shafts for $20 for the pair. A set of MINT 64 headlight trim rings for $5 (way nicer than mine on the car)....

[Rocket Power]

I can't find any parts for my Rolls Royce though:(:rolf

[70challenger]

i might cruise out there early saturday morning and dig around, then back to the racecar.

[madmike]

I be there but maybe I should be selling teeth and grills this year hmmmm????

[Waver]

well last wensday I drove through jefferson on the way to madison, partially to see if the drive in theater was still open, and partially to go down memory lane from when I lived there. If you are planning on taking hwy 18 in to town, dont, as it is all tore up. If the dirt on 18 is any indication on how the fair grounds are going to be, it isnt that bad. In years past I have been on both ends of the coin, as a seller as well as a buyer...When I was fixing up the 93 vert that I had, I found some good deals on body parts, and when I was selling I got rid of most of the stuff that we were trying to get rid of....covered the cost of the spot, the food, and the alcohol (they never check the venders on the way in lol). Hell we got rid of a blown aod, a hollowed out catted h pipe, a 91 escort gt with a bad engine, a set of subs, 2 amps, as well as some other junk, but no one wanted the nearly mint 94 cavalier z-24 with low mileage and a stereo system for 3k. Oh well that car lasted another 2 months before the timing chain went on the freeway lol. It is hit or miss....I might go there this year, depends on how the girlfriend and I are felling on that morning.

[SSDude]

Jefferson = Mudfest

[jbiscuit]

yep, should be a swamp this weekend

[Crawlin]

this year in the mud? isn't every year in the mud? hahaha

[Rocket Power]

Should be there 6-7am tomorrow. I figure I 'll see Becky and Matt 10-20 times:rolf

[Crawlin]

it's the only day we can go since i work tomorrow.

shitty thing is we probably won't go. i keep on nagging him to get a toy and he was all excited for this.

[TURTLE]

i'll be out there on sunday looking for the elusive neon fitment of parts... lol

a few years back there was a guys selling all the parts from a 98 r/t though, so maybe i'll get lucky again...

or i can just buy a commonaro... bwahahahahahahah

[1fast2litre]

good luck .....I just got home from there and it sucked mud everywhere and cold as hell there wasnt even that many cars for sale it just sucked

[scaleracer]

Let me know what time you are goin.

[Car Guy]

Well I'm (now) glad I didn't have the time to get the Chevelle ready to take out there to sell. At first I was pissed because I need to get going on it but when I woke up this morning I felt better once I heard the wind howling.....:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Wasn't it almost 80* yesterday...??? Wisconsin FTL...!!!






:3gears: :3gears: :3gears:

[TURTLE]

Let me know what time you are goin.

probably head out from the apartment in o-town at about 9-10am... 20 minutes down there, and don't know how long i'll have to haggle to get some decent prices down there.... gimme a call dave...

[Rocket Power]

It was cold and windy and wet and muddy. Worst combo I've seen in the 17 years I've been going. It was funny seeing the cars and minivans pull into the mud/grass parking and just stop:rolf Why would you try to park your car in a grass field when there was just a torrential downpour the night before?

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Really was a muddy event. A lot of truck parts available.

[HY35F2T]

I spent more in food than other stuff. I bought a pack of funnels from the dollar guy and a 6 pack of dremel bits for $5, and that's it. I was suffering from swapmeet blue balls,all excited to buy something for my car, but left disappointed:rolf

[Reverend Cooper]

i remember going when i was younger with my dad they used to have good used old stuff. now its a freak show circus infomercial

[Rocket Power]

Ebay has wrecked swapmeets, now everyone think their crap that was worth $10 is now worth $100, and apparently all motorcycles are worth a minimum of $1200, even for an old turd that would have been $250 a few years ago.

i know right there was some dude selling some busted ass seats like ebay ones for 400 bux.:fire:punch:

[michelle]

Adam and I just got back from Jefferson. Wasn't too bad, but there were some big areas of mud. There are some crazy swap meet and car prices there though, that's for sure.

[Cutlass Queen]

I'm glad I missed this one....walking through the mud at Jefferson isnt worth it to me. Last year I left with just buying a big bar :rolf

[Reverend Cooper]

dood there was lots of hot chix there

[TURTLE]

i skipped on it as well... even though i'm so close, i'm still broke... and hearing about those prices made me shiver... i mean come on, i drive a neon for cripes sake....

[Voodoo Chick]

Well, the weather wasn't too bad at all, the mud wasn't terrible, and there were a few cool things to buy. I'm very glad I went, it was actually lots of fun.

[juicedimpss]

dood there was lots of hot chix there

how much did you have to drink before you got there?
:confused

[PonyKiller87]

It actualy wasnt to bad, we lucked out and got spots that were nice and dry.

We sold just about everything we took out there including the 8.1 BBC

We seen a grand total of 2 hot chicks. It was to cold and crappy for them to be out. LOL

[jbiscuit]

I chuckled at some of the car prices out there, ha ha ha

[DirtyMax]

I chuckled at some of the car prices out there, ha ha ha

Some things never change.....

[jbiscuit]

Some things never change.....

no doubt about it. Jefferson has some of the most inflated prices on the planet for classic cars. I SHOCKED at how much better the prices were for cars at Hershey, PA 2 years ago when I was there.

EXAMPLE:
Decently clean, driver-quality 1968-69 Camaro....some nicks and hazy trim, interior pretty nice etc etc. Overall pretty nice car

Hershey going rate: about $20K
Jefferson: $28K

There was actually some BARGAINS at Hershey...

[Knyghtmare]

My favorite was the 1994 Geo Tracker for $4000.

[Voodoo Chick]

I saw two guys in shorts, T-shirts, and flip-flops.......I got hypothermia just looking at them.
