The Big One In Texas! Record Breaking 10K Spaces Sold! 2022 Pate Swap Meet Part 1

[@mikesawyer4707]

Benny I love going to the new swap meets with you. Benny you do a great job covering everything for us we appreciate you. Rock on.

[@harvyss136]

I caught myself saying to you slow down then i realized I could pause you! But damn I know inflation has hit when you see what some of those cars are listed for?! Wow. Thanks for the vid!

[@ClassicRideSociety]

There were still some good deals but those didn't last

[@sooverit5529]

I bought the 1968 Thunderbird at 19:23. A victim of vandals, it needs all glass, a trunk lid and taillamps, but runs and drives and is amazingly rust free. I will put her back on the road, she's way too nice to crush. Most interest was in the low mile 429 to rip out, but I couldn't let that happen.

[@dogsense3773]

I work in a restoration shop in north California,the shop across the street has a68 thunderbird the same color, has the429 motor thanks!

[@sooverit5529]

While there, I was able to score a full set of wheel covers, and all the factory manuals, owner's manual and 68 Tbird brochure. I sure love going to the Pate!

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I really should have gone over to it a checked it out. At least it was saved from becoming a donor. Try browne Auto Salvage in Sunset TX for the glass

[@sooverit5529]

Thanks Benny, I appreciate the tip on the glass. It's gonna be fun getting this worthy Bird back together and on the road.

[@toddselph5992]

Dang! We was there Thursday-Saturday and still didn't see everything. I hate that I didn't get to meet you in person.

[@mikesawyer4707]

Thank you Benny I hope to see you again very soon.

[@guadalahonky4002]

At 34:27, was that entire table of fender skirts for 1962 Chevy Impalas? Fabulouso. I'm a Ford man, who owns two Mustang GTs, but those Impalas and El Caminos of the late 50s/60s are works of art.

[@edkelley1649]

First 10 minutes reminded me of going to the dump when I was a child with my dad.... Ba.Ba.Ba Benny and the WRECKS! Cheers ya'll 😆🤣😂😉😬😎

[@ClassicRideSociety]

There'll probably 3 or 4 parts 😄 👍

[@richroj]

Benny , this video was fantastic. there were so many good cars I don't know where to start. the 69 and 70 Torino GT are my favorite cars from back in the day. also the Ranch Wagon you showed looked really nice. thanks again Benny✌ one more thing Benny that 2 door Lincoln was nice👍

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Nice walk around. Always some interesting stuff and vehicles for sale.

[@dowen1511]

Yeah its funny how we all enjoy looking at stuff we can't buy 😂

[@rocker1623]

thank you, I really miss swap meets.😎😎😎

[@HotRollBrad]

Very cool and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

[@dowen1511]

You can find nos hatch wings they are out there old ones are always in question and once you take them off.

[@moparpollack6242]

You scored on the Polara tail light they were in excellent shape. See you at the next one!

[@dowen1511]

Wow that 62 black short box step was nice 👍

[@larryrecoy8198]

that is nuts the prices they want! good luck

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

I bought a 1980 blue 2dr olds 98 in 1985 , paid $1200 at salvage yard. It had a busted fiberglass header, guess it was enough for the insurance company to total it out. I was in the body shop business at the time so I pieced /grafted on another half and shazzam perfect car. Kept her around for a few years and traded her off. Didn't see many 2drs back then either.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

2 door 98s from the early 80s are pretty rare. Ive never spotted one in the junkyard. Had that one been in better shape I would have checked it out. I like them better than the 2 door caprice of that time.

[@Dr77738]

that was like horrific ly crazy man... if the weather is like that down south, then the great preservation is over with all these beaters times two now man?!

[@alkennedy1124]

That 454 Camaro is a Flintstone car, all the way to the ground in the floor board , lol thanks BigAl California

[@johnkranz4004]

Thanks Benny Great video

[@ClassicRideSociety]

[@oldskool1979]

Did you go to a rub n tug after the swap meet ? haha

[@ClassicRideSociety]

😄

[@ronnieellsworth9223]

Well, if those parts come back as sold, then you must have thought to much. Thanks for the show. Ronnie.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

True

[@mikesawyer4707]

With a 302 automatic I would pass on the "stinkin Lincoln"

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Just mute 🤫 the music till you get passed it , lol nice thanks BigAl California

[@mikesawyer4707]

Say Benny you ever run into Richard Rollins (Gas Monkey Garage) out in the swap meets?

[@jamesdamron2065]

Those disc brake rotors on that 72 cutlass that was missing its clip,,are big$$ unobtainable stuff

[@dowen1511]

Them polara lights are are good for 200 each if they are really nice I've got that for them before one year only hard to find now. Them are an eBay item though most all the 70's polara's are in Germany and Switzerland now though.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I may need them. I may have gotten a 67 Polara.

[@sooverit5529]

The 1966 Ford Ranch Wagon at 18:53 was the bargain of the meet. Sold for under 5 grand. It had so much favorable interest, and the seller remarked that he sold it way too cheap. Original paint and needing nothing. A 352 in it.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

That thing sold pretty much right after it arrived. I watched it come in on the trailer. By the time I got to it was sold!

[@dowen1511]

Its surprising how many still unrestored cameros are out there.

[@Voiceinthewoods]

too bad did not look at that gray bump side but looked at the blue and white square body (dime a dozen) got both at the house.how many brown and black striped honda 70s were there looked like 3.lol liked some of the olds and buicks. i never want to look at the 70 to 72 novas much (overpriced)nice looking black lincoln.and bronco.oh well sucks that swap meet was far from me.liked that 71 to 74 charger.but the best liked was the daytona. i only saw in in the 80s in bellaire ohio.was rusted out.

[@andymac5324]

Love your vids. Been following you for a while. Question for you. What does a 5.3 and 4L80e combo sell for in your area. I'm in Louisiana.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

5.3s are a dime a dozen. The pick n pull yards are littered with them. Around $300 gets one. Best time though it when they have half off sales. 4l80s are a different story. They are more rare and sought after. Last place that had one with a 6.0 they wanted $600 each

[@andymac5324]

@@ClassicRideSociety thanks a lot. I'll start looking around.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

[@k5ren]

THE MOST DISTURBING item I spotted is on the far right @ 26:00 (pause at 26:02) I'd have bought that baby in a heartbeat for the flower garden out front!

[@tracyhills2439]

Is that swap meet once a year or are going to have a other one after that

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Its once a year at the end of April

[@Tpuff58]

There was a fucking Daytona and I missed it goddamnit

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I missed about 10-15% of the swap meet and I was there since Wednesday 😄. Problem was that more vendors came everyday through Sat. I would have liked to have gotten video of it when it was off the trailer. Didn't think they'd bring it off the trailer. Not only did they bring it off but they ran it down the side of the parking lot!

[@Tpuff58]

@@ClassicRideSociety favorite damn car amd I missed it Bought 60$ worth of Daytona Johnny lightning's and I missed the real one lol I went Thursday and I missed you by 1 row

[@ClassicRideSociety]

@@Tpuff58 that car arrived on Sat morning if I'm not mistaken. Next year I'll probably have to be out there since Tues 😄. I'll probably post my vendor space next yr on Facebook if anyone wants to stop by

Yeah, but...Did you find the box??????

[@ClassicRideSociety]

😄 not yet but if I do, I'll save it for you next time at pate

[@NotAGarage]

What Trans Am wheels are you looking for? The honeycombs, snowflakes, the ralley's, 3rd gen style? Edit: I saw you point to snowflake style, but is the ones you're looking for?

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Was looking for late 2nd gen snowflakes. 15x8

[@NotaMechanicJack]

18:11 I never get a happy greeting from that guy

[@dondeere]

i cant take all that wind sound

[@kc0lif]

i like plymouth superbird.

[@mikesawyer4707]

That 98 was driven hard and hung up wet. Just saying.

[@OrangeBoss-ww8eb]

fox switch at least 20 here never cheaper

[@paullittle2037]

you should have run through there a little faster so no one could see any of it

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Maybe next time. 😄

[@ronnierich6508]

Some of those cars aren't worth what they are asking for them.

[@stevedriver1476]

A lot of these cars would sell if they were washed and cleaned out,, presentation is poor on some very saleable cars. The Pepsi cans in the Gold Fairlane/ cyclone looking thing would sell if it was cleaned out and detailed for 2,3 hours. Us stupid Aussies are allways looking for good tidy units to rebuild. AND import.

[@rexmuntz387]

Way too much old cars they need everything harder to find parts rat it out you walk by the ones look good look at junk ones you need help put back where you got them

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I dont do car show type cars. I focus in projects and "junk" 😄 👍

[@tomriggle3217]

Overpriced cars
