Ok, this is a lot of stuff. Feel free to email me if you need explanations or recommendations... The Malibu Cruise and Coastal Caravan Cruise are the only events that happen at the same time in different places. The Coastal Caravan is designed for travelers from the Bay Area and points north or travelers who route themselves though that area. The Malibu Cruise is set up for locals, people who arrive in town early Friday, people who attended the Willow Springs event on Thursday, etc.

I really want to attend this. If my GTS is done I will make it.

FABO member Darius is bringing his 69 Dart GTS down from Sacramento.

If your car is not done, come down and shop for parts for it. Find a FABO member(s) to carpool down and save gas money.

We get lots and lots of A-bodies...

Inland Mopars will have some cars there as always! Both Spring Fling (April) and Fall Fling (October) events go on our club calendar before the dates are even announced.
For all you FABO members coming out West for Moparty At The Strip in Las Vegas (April 8-10), Spring Fling is the very next weekend in SoCal. Might as well spend the week, enjoy the warmth and the sun, and forget about cold and snow for awhile.

The Spring Fling swap meet is 3 to 4 TIMES larger than in Vegas. More show cars too.

Spring Fling spectator admission is FREE.
 
Back to back long drives O boy! LOL I will be there with my Dart like always. Cant wait always have a lot of fun at this show.
 
Count me in. Haven't missed it in years. Maybe we'll see Jay Leno drive in with that steamalajig contraption. Or his Turbo Chrysler. Or that car with the Chrysler built 12 cylinder Sherman tank engine.

I'll be there both days no matter what, whether or not the Duster makes it is up in the air, but the goal is to have it in Vegas so here's hoping.
I've got a couple friends who just got into mopars who'll be coming, one with a '72 'Cuda and one looking for a '68-'70 Charger.
 
Spring Fling is awesome! I was down in 2009. This year we're doing the coastal cruise and staying the weekend, flying out of LAX Sunday night. Definatly a show to be at.

The Airtel hotel is the host hotel and 1.2 miles from show. You can fly into LAX. Take a $7 Fly-A-Way shuttle bus that drops off about 3 blocks from the hotel, use the direct phone line to the hotel and they will pick you up http://www.airtelplaza.com/laxbus.asp. Pretty neat. Airtel Hotel: 1-800-2AIRTEL www.airtelplaza.com .

Includes ONLY with mentioning "CPW club" discount rate code:
$99/day special rate
Free breakfast buffet for two ($26 value)
Free parking ($10 value)
 
Pics of some A-body projects for sale at last Spring Fling in the swap meet area.
