Default Portland Swap Meet

Hi everyone — This is my first year attending this event. Does anyone have advice, or know the booth numbers of some Pontiac, Buick or Mopar vendors?

Thanks.

Hopefully you found them. Hopefully weather is good, can be Quite windy and wet. Have a good weekend.

I did about 95% of PIR yesterday - all of the expo today (Friday). I would say there was less Pontiac stuff overall than most years I've attended. Expo seemed a bit sparse in attendance this morning and a noticeable amount of empty booths this year.

If you are going to do both in one day, start early, keep moving, and wear good shoes!

Thanks everyone. Headed there now - I’ll stop and see you Mr. Vidal and look for Mr. Kennedy too. It should be a good day to hunt parts.

I thought there was alot more Pontiac stuff there today then there has been in previous years. Walked both swap meets and I dont feel like getting out of my chair LOL Some cool stuff, but nothing I either had money for or wanted.

Last few times I went down it seem to be getting smaller. And everybody wanted new price for there used stuff.
Did pick up a few pieces but guess it depends on what you are looking for. Buddy of mine came home with a 440 mopar
Dual carb tunnel ram with carbs and linkage for 600, carbs were fresh rebuild. But not having been on for 2 years, there should be lots of
stuff out there.

In the end I did pretty well on small stuff. It was a great time too. Unfortunately I missed meeting Bob but I did make a purchase from him. We will probably be back next year.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I was at the last one, and I am pleased to say I attended this one.
Pontiac parts are generally a bit sparse;
What I found a bit surprising this year is that there was no merch sold by the organizers;
I quite liked my PDX swap meet 2019 shirt, and the other tidbits;
I had never bough stuff like that in years prior, but expected it to be on hand, and had hoped that the space would have been packed with vendors.
It seemed to me that there were more knick knack (jewelery really) vendors, and more tool vendors than in years prior.
