Hot August Nights Reno

[moparmarks]

There is some stuff. One Mopar guy with quite a bit and good prices. I bought stuff from him last year. I did score a nice 70-71 Cuda fender. Another guy has a 440 and 383.

Actually getting to be a lot of non automotive stuff anymore.

There is also a 67 Cuda 383 and a 70 Charger R/T. project in the car coral.

Downtown yesterday.

The wife and I were there today. It felt like we were at the Chevelle and Mustang nationals. Christ....how many Chevelles were actually built? I think most of them were there today.
We did visit the Summit store...their 10% off HAN discount saved me some cash since I needed 2 front tires for the red car and a 5 gallon bucket of Evaporust for some of my seasoned parts!

You can add Camaros and Impalas to that list.

I expect to see these cars at the "all makes and models" shows but come on....There HAD to be 15-20 Chevelles at the Grand Sierra alone.
I do like to see stuff other than Mopars but they only had ONE '70 Charger there and it was a BS General Lee. There were a few nice Darts, a couple of Dusters, Some Coronets too.
I'm still dealing with limited energy from my fall so I ended the day earlier than usual. We usually walk the display near the Nugget, then go to the Grand Sierra, followed by the Peppermill. We skipped the Peppermill and headed home. Weather was great....mid 80s!

I’m hoping to have my 67 Belvedere going by next hot august nights. I’m going to make the drive down from Oregon, haven’t been to Reno since I was a teenager.

This 70 sold for 20.5k
