Hit the Wisconsin Mopar Muscle Club swap meet Sunday, as well as the Bob and Rocco show. Wasn't really looking for anything but ended up scoring a bunch of the randomest of things!

At the Mopar swap I got:

What appears to be Wilde Dodge's old MICROFICHE reader, working, along with several boxes containing microfiches of service and parts manuals from the 60's to the 90's, including Mitsubishi "import" stuff. This thing is ridiculously cool and perhaps even semi useful lol. Paid $75 I think for a Mopar guy its well worth that just in the cool factor alone!

CAP auto now QA1 owns them tubular upper and lower control arms, and adjustable strut bars for my Challenger. Virtually new, price new around $900, picked it all up for $350!

Passenger Challenger window - $5. Yes $5 the guy really didn't want to keep lugging it around without breaking it.

From Cal Anderson I got a Panther Pink Challenger T/A diecast just like my car, and a cool poster of the Belle Dodge Coronet doing a fire burnout for I thing like $35 for both.

At the Bob and Rocco show I picked up:

A very nice 6.8 SPC AR-15 upper for $600

16 fairly nice condition not worn much Morgan silver dollars in the late 1800-early 1900 date range for melt value of $400.

I always loved the belle dodge coronet...he always had the best burnouts, whether they were fire burnouts or not.

I think I got $167 back or something. That buys me a week worth of gas.

Yeah I stupidly "lend the govt my money all year for free" so usually have a decent return coming.

I used my end of year bonus for property taxes, so I share your pain there.

How sad, I didn't get a bonus. $3400 to pay my taxes would have been nice.
