Expert Posts: 1207 Location: Ponder, TX | Pate is big, but Mopar is almost nonexistent. I went on Friday and walked it for three hours, but except for a few tail light lenses I saw nothing for finned cars. There were a few parts for muscle cars, but that was about it. Not going to waste $5 for parking next year. Edited by GaryS 2014-05-07 7:51 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | I walked it for three hours and didn't see one single part for a FL Mopar. I bought some trinkets and a few generic parts, but I'll just have to stick to eBay and craigslist for all my '50s Mopar needs! Hmmm. I see members in this thread from Ponder, Newark, and Watauga (me). Maybe we ought to get together sometime. There are some decent places to meet up in Roanoke. | ||
