2021 Carlisle Chrysler Nationals

The swap meet area of Carlisle is approximately 2800 spaces. As of yesterday, there was only 3 spots yet to be sold. The plan is to take some of the car corral area and use those spaces for overflow swap meet spaces. With that said, that is one huge swap meet to most event standards. Like any swap meet, you will never know what will be found. Due to the size and the overwhelming amount of items, it is difficult to see everything. You will see a lots of junk that probably should have thrown away years ago and you will see NOS pieces that never come up for sale. Prices will vary across the board for the very same part.

In my opinion, the best part about events like Carlisle is that your able to actually view the quality of the part prior to making the purchase. When buying the piece from a picture from the internet, you have limited insight on the details of the piece. If there is multiple manufacturers of the same part, it is very possible that you can view them at an event of this size and make the determination of which is the best part for your situation and funds.

By picking up items at the event, you will be able to save considerably on some shipping charges. It cost more to ship items like seat dividers and package trays than what is the actual cost of the item, due to the oversize nature of the part.

Unfortunately, most vendors are having a difficult time in sourcing items to sale. Some items have been on back order for as much as year now. If it is in stock, the inventory levels are very low in most situations. That is why I have stressed to our customers to respond to me by June 18th for any of their needs. Otherwise, the items will be put out for sale on a first come, first served basis.

@Mpacker, the availability of some of the A-Body pieces was dropped February of 2020, so finding the pieces is getting more difficult. Even if it is still available, it may very well be on back order. You will need to verify the availability prior to the event to insure that you would be able to pick the item up. But for an event of the size of Carlisle, your chances of finding the part is much greater and again the pricing may vary greatly. If you have a specific list of items needed, drop me a message and I can provide you with a quote on the parts.

With that said, hope that those who can attend will come out and support the event and those vendors who are out there bringing the parts to the venues. See you guys at the show!!!
