I always attend the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona Beach on Thanksgiving weekend. I spent some time walking through the cars that were for sale in the car corral. Unofortunately, I forgot my camera this year, so I didn't get any photos of the cars. I found a few gems:
#1) A Z/28 with cross ram and a shiny new trim tag. Asking price was $110K.
#2) A "Yenko" for $38K.

Now for the good ones:
#3) A friend brought his '69 L34 coupe with a M22. The car is numbers matching, except for the transmission. The original M22 was replaced. He found date code correct transmission and changed it back. I told him to post it for sale here because it's a car that this group would appreciate.
#4) Another friend brought his '69 Z11 car and had it fo sale. I don't know much history on that car.

One detail: M22 was only available with the L78 or Z28. L34 could get a M21 or a M20, but not the M22.

I went to the Turkey Run this past weekend too.

It seemed the overall caliber of cars was up this year (hobby getting very popular I guess). But the quality of the vendors still stunk. I went ready to shop for many 69 parts but came home empty handed. Everything I saw wase either priced no better than the catalogs, or the quality was poor.

What did you guys think ?

Car coral had very high prices on Thursday - all were slashed on Saturday.
Everything, I mean everything was "Numbers matching"
I think what they really should have been saying that the VIN numbers matched the title. There were a million put-togethers.
I actually saw a guy buy my friends sb Z-11 with replacement NOM and drivetrain, (he sold it that way)
move the car a few rows down, and call it matching numbers. He raised the price $15K. What a joke.

The swap meet always sucks now because of eBay.
There is no insentive anymore to bring anything good, because you can just list it for more, and you dont have a million low ball offers.


still a few good deals:
I bought a finned 1965 Balancer - $175
A nice pair of LT-1 (Z/28) Valve covers - $75
LH A.I.R. 1969 Z/28 exhaust manifold - $150
A D69 772 fan with original clutch - $40
and 4 - 1967, 7" rear view mirror cores - $5 each
Ian was there getting Top dollar as usuall.
And my hotel room was a dump as always - Had a Good ole time.

Oh yea - got my wife the required little T-shirt - so as not to appear selfish.

One detail: M22 was only available with the L78 or Z28. L34 could get a M21 or a M20, but not the M22.

Thanks for the clarification.
