Indianapolis Swap This Weekend

Getting crazy expensive to go.
They charge for parking and then to get in the door too...
By the time we got in the door my wife and I were already out $40. 10/park and $15/head to get in the door.
$6 for a pop, (x2 for the time we were there) $6 for an order of fries and $8 for a cold pretzel...
Before we bought a damn thing...
Maybe why it wasn't as busy yesterday as the last couple of years? I have been there now for only 4-5 years now, but it's gone up a bunch it seems just in that length of time....
Like every year don't buy the first of anything you see... I saw the same thing from one guy might be $80 and a few rows over see someone else with the same thing asking $20.....
Mainly talking AFB /Edelbrock carbs and several TQs all of which were nasty and some even missing parts... Some of the nastier ones were the more costly.
Same story on intakes, whether cast iron stockers or Weiand or performers I didn't bring any of those home. Almost brought home another TQ but I already have 4 of those at home so I left them
I ran into that last year too, I bought a steering column for a stick shift 80s truck for $50... I had asked him for a price and walked. When I saw someone else with the same steering column for $150 I went right back over and bought the $50 one...
I saw some really rotten sheet metal for crazy price and a radiator where the fan had hit it-- it was bowed out hard--- but it was like $225 because of what it had been in... You might have been able to salvage the tanks for a recore..... This was towards the corner between DMT and the concession stand... Nuts.
I did see 1 set of '302 head cores with rocker arms and shafts for a real good price.... They were still plenty preserved by remnants of the leaky engine they were on, all oily and sludgey still...he only wanted $60/pair.
Same guy had a set of the 80s "hurricane" truck wheels, even a 5th one for a matching spare, would have been alright for a driver, but I didn't ask price.
There were a couple of 80s truck dash bezels that I thought were crazy prices. Not near the amount of stuff for those there this year compared to the last few years.
Surprised there was a guy that had mostly f body stuff.....
