Don't believe so. He was exclusively NOS. I remember because he unloaded some Corvair parts for us, which most vendors avoided like the plague.

Was the 1985 event still at Arlington Park or at the Amphitheater? Back in the early years Als' meets were really good buying meets, at least for me.

Whichever, we did 'em both. The Amphitheatre was in a rough neighborhood as I recall. We were sitting in a nearby restaurant about 5 am when some drunk rolls in. He gets obnoxious with the guy behind the register who immediately belts him a couple times, comes around the counter and drags him out the door. Guess he knew his clientele.

Ever go to La Porte or the swaps at Notre Dame?

Did LaPorte, at Notre Dame #2 I was the only one selling Camaro parts at a Corvette swap (really did good!!), Aurora, Alsip, St. Charles (in September), Wheaton, Belvidere, Grayslake early on, Sante Fe Speedway~wow!!, Iola, Jefferson, Elkhorn, Crown Point, Valpo, Maumee Oh, Wapokeneta Oh, Bowling Green Oh, Indy 500 Infield~BIG WoW!!, Super Chevy Indy from day one, LaSalle Illinois Speedway, Peotone (since 1979), and about everything else I could find since 1972. Started out selling my "obsolete" drag car leftovers. Found there was more joy in buying than selling. After all, it's not what you sell it for, it's all about what you bought it for.
