N. California Best Car Show is Saturday June 10th, 2023 at DeAnza Collect in Cupertino
Man, what a missed opportunity.
I had it all planned....I had the truck and trailer filled with parts to sell. I had the parts tagged with prices, I had stuff that usually sells quickly and I hoped to do well. One year, I made $2850. I'm not a vendor, just a guy that stashed away some garden variety parts for mid level A and B body cars. I have some early A body parts that I have priced C H E A P, I mean far below garage sale prices, just to move it along. I even had a 73-76 A body big block K member with spool mounts...a real unique piece that I was told was modified by using the old Direct Connection handbooks from the late 70s.
Last night, I just couldn't get to and stay asleep.
I had to be up by 4:45 at the latest to make it the 145 miles to the show at a decent time. By around 2:00, I realized that I wasn't going to get nearly enough sleep. I don't use meth so I reset the alarm and slept in, then drove to the show as a spectator.
I got to see some friends and some great cars but man...I could have made a nice chunk of cash!
