See, here in north central Texas, we don't have cars and coffee every Saturday morning. We're usually out fishin' or farmin' other such stuff. So, every year we have something like cars and coffee, except it lasts three days and we bring every piece of automotive junk we can get our hands on thinking that we are gonna get rid of it. We don't. Nobody buys any of it. But, we always find stuff that we can't live without, so we come home with more junk and less money than when we started. It's a great tradition.

Ladies and gentlemen , I give you the 39th Annual Southwest Swap Meet (it might have been the 40th, I forget).

The Imp was tempting . . .

 

How much did they want for the Imp ?

My parents had one when I was 7 I'd love one nowadays - I could rule teh AutoX with one

 

Uncle J, thank you. I haven't seen a 64 500 XL in quite a while. And a 'vert at that! Sweet!

 

It started the day at $5500 and had been marked down to $4500 by late Saturday afternoon. All it needs is a small block and a a 9" rear end.

I turned 16 in '64. The guy across the street had a blue 62 or 63 Galaxie hardtop with a 406. It was most cool. Those big Fords were fast cruisers.

 

May father has a Conventry Climax motor and Hewland gearbox sitting in his workshop, he has been musing over sticking in the back of an Imp - I wonder if he would Fedex it to me ?

Mine was a Midnight Blue (white)hardtop, slammed, chrome wires, 390 and a custom interior. I miss that car.

 

Man I thought the 20" wheels they put on Escaldes were big-that 1911 looks like an early Donk!

 

There was an AMX just like that in Prescott.
The '50 Chevy 1 ton panel for $800 is a deal.
Of course C&C doesn't have a rollercoaster, that's awesome!
