I've never been Danny but I 'hear' it's THE place to get those hard to find parts. I dont know the 'prices' either meaning how expensive the market is. When I attended the Nats this year the parts were very expensive,(resto, used original, or N.O.S.), and at the Indy Trade Show they were expensive as well, There are always New Re-pops coming out and I wanted to feel in my hand the quality of some of them, some were very nicely duplicated some left a lot to be desired. This is the advantage of attending these shows, you can see first hand the quality of the part you desire. :thumbsup:

The swap area at Carlisle is huge, start saving money, wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen. :nod:

wow mopar heaven!! lots of cars where venders are usually set up in the spring and fall carlisle shows. i guess the vendors for parts are along the first few rows. i attend the spring and fall carlisle shows which has vendors for all makes. those are super huge for swappers as you need at least 2 full days to see all the vendors. the spring and fall meets suck though as far as mopar parts with just a few vendors. hopefuly when i go to the mopar carlisle it will be much better for parts. p.s.-never saw so many super birds/daytonas in one shot. thanks for the photos.

Anyone else notice the remaining factory Chrysler parts going up in price? The gal at our local Dodge parts counter said they are getting increases monthly. Maybe the dollar or turmoil at Daimler?

Carslile is too far away but, would love to see it someday. Anyone know which are the largest shows (Mopars only) near the west coast?

Don't really hear of any large Mopar only shows on the left coast. The only one I can think of is Mopars at the Strip in Vegas. You might want to check in MCG for upcoming shows near you.
