Ghoste · November 30, 2014, 12:08:12 AM

has anyone heard a confirmed date and location yet? I tried to find out but couldn't find it, got a bunch of stuff I need to get there.

Hope this helps!

Ghoste · December 02, 2014, 06:03:37 PM

Thanks! I couldn't find it on the WPC site the other day.

Dino · December 02, 2014, 09:18:15 PM

I'm going to try to make it this time. I should probably come with only enough money to get in though.

Ghoste · December 02, 2014, 09:28:18 PM

Where's the fun in that?

Dino · December 02, 2014, 09:31:00 PM

That's a good point.

71 SE3834V · December 02, 2014, 09:40:35 PM

I gotta try to get there earlier. I tend to not get there until 11 or 12 and many vendors start packing up at 1:00pm.

RIDELIKEHELL · December 13, 2014, 02:06:27 PM

RDC & I hopefully will make it

71 SE3834V · January 22, 2015, 01:41:28 PM

Coming up this Sunday. Anyone need a ride?

TUFCAT · January 22, 2015, 02:00:25 PM

I'll be there as usual. No schlepping parts.

RIDELIKEHELL · January 23, 2015, 06:29:21 AM

As long as this shitty feeling i've had since yesterday doesn't blossom into something I will be going

Redmanf1 · January 24, 2015, 03:31:43 AM

I think I am going to go and check things out.

TUFCAT · January 24, 2015, 09:16:25 PM

Doesn't look like I'll make it. I'll be going to a gun show in Birch Run so if I decide to go, it will be in the later part of the afternoon.

Dino · January 24, 2015, 09:22:45 PM

I'm out. Way too much things to do that cannot be ignored so playtime needs to wait.

RIDELIKEHELL · January 24, 2015, 09:58:13 PM

Understandable

71 SE3834V · January 24, 2015, 10:10:58 PM

Snow is heading south of us so I will be there.

Redmanf1 · January 25, 2015, 03:06:35 PM

There was not as many used parts as I thought would be their. It was nice to get out......

chargerman69 · January 25, 2015, 03:49:42 PM

I was there today, got a couple T's and a book on muscle cars with most of the cars in it were from wellborn

TUFCAT · January 25, 2015, 03:52:47 PM

I was there. I got a rock....

71 SE3834V · January 25, 2015, 06:30:38 PM

Hey Tuffy!!!
Did you see the 6 pack air cleaner with the stamped cut out for the AC compressor???
I got pics!!!!! I'm going start a thread as soon as I get the pics downloaded and open that can of worms again.

I'll keep you all in suspense for a little bit. If I knew you could make it I was gonna try to meet up with you.

OMG Please do!! That's hilarious

(we all know that was a typical factory-line modification)

71 SE3834V · January 25, 2015, 06:58:10 PM

Any chance an air cleaner was offered as a dealer option to install a 6 pk on an a/c car? Or dealer installed?
I don't know much other than what I read here but the thing looked legit.....not a new item...had some rust bubbles on it.

TUFCAT · January 25, 2015, 07:13:23 PM

Not a chance. To leave the factory it had to be certified as a regular production part with a part number and warranty. Same if sold by a Chrysler dealer. Chrysler would never allow a vibrating, heat producing, a/c compressor to be installed in such close proximity to a (notched) air cleaner next to an outboard carburetor. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

Chrysler would never install a vibrating, heat producing, a/c compressor in such close proximity to an air cleaner element bolted to a carburetor. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

Why would a 6 pack motor be degraded and underpowered by putting AC on it? Chrysler would never do that at the height of the muscle car era. Whats next a shaker hemi cuda with AC?

RDC · January 25, 2015, 08:06:11 PM

It was well worth the trip again this year, but I too thought that the number of vendors was lower this year.

No. They never did that. Chrysler did a lot of things but that isn't one of them.

71 SE3834V · January 25, 2015, 08:35:23 PM

Ok guys. I'm gonna take this to a new thread with the pictures. Wish I had more pics and better ones. Also wish I had picked the thing up and looked for a part #. Brain fart! Was the end of the day, I was tired and the guy was packing up.

Wish one of you guys saw it....

Redmanf1 · January 26, 2015, 02:34:35 AM

Hey, I saw a shaker hemi cuda with AC.......................... I think it was either Big Foot or a yeti driving......................

I picked up some garage art but couldn't pull the trigger on a new Carb but MANCINI is about the same distance and said the price will be the same if I go to their store. Good to catch up with RDC and his family & discuss this summers shows we plan on attending. Miss Direct Connection looked her age

RIDELIKEHELL · January 26, 2015, 07:16:59 AM

Some pics

RIDELIKEHELL · January 26, 2015, 07:17:57 AM

RIDELIKEHELL · January 26, 2015, 07:19:13 AM

Sorry the pics are squished...new resizing app on phone....Sorry I didn't take more

4cruzin · January 26, 2015, 09:04:56 AM

Well missed it this year . . . .

Was over in Grand Haven for Winterfest . . .

Ghoste · January 26, 2015, 09:10:53 AM

I grabbed a couple of photos of that air cleaner as well. I think it's fake personally but who knows?
I did get some other pics, here is some vinyl top trim for a 67 Charger. For 15 years I tried to find this trim to replace the very pitted trim on my 67 to no avail. Naturally one year after I sell that lump the trim turns up in a swap meet.

Ghoste · January 26, 2015, 09:12:37 AM

And then we saw this Charger as we were leaving a local dining establishment.

Redmanf1 · January 26, 2015, 05:43:05 PM

Isn't that the way it always goes?
