Moparfest 2026

[Jeff]

Just got here. I had forgotten how huge this event is.
Following a line of Mopars from 29kms out! $20 entry, free breakfast and bus rides to and from car park to event. Here to buy a car today. Wish me luck.

[Jeff]

Some possibilities…

It was a nice sunny 26 degree day with a breeze.
Took me 2 hours to get around the Mopar only swop meet.
So much there!
5 hours to get around the fields to see the cars.
But a great day out. Been far to too long since I went last.
That would of been in the A100!

It's best to avoid the '67 "A" bodies if possible as they are one year only on the steering and "k" frames and the later ones are better and parts are easier.

Must admit. I was a bit taken by this one.
It was so clean everywhere. Underneath and interior were as good as body and paint!

Today’s ride out, is to Owen Sound. About 2 hours away.
Billy is tagging along for this one. Always good to have
A second pair of eyes, especially when they are classic car welding/fabrication experts!
Looking at the Valiant today.

I would love to go to a big Mopar show in the States. I've got family in North Carolina and Pennsylvania that I'm going to see next year so hoping the timing is right for a show or two. Good luck with the hunt for your next car

My dream A body would be the one Pete used to have, it was gorgeous in every way...colour, stance etc. I had some pics of it before I lost my phone

I’m in Canada Steve. We used to spend 3months a year in the USA. But not anymore under current administration.

[Jeff]

Don’t remember it.

[Steve]

Sorry Jeff, yeah, I am aware you are in Canada but I wont get a chance to go to a show there as all my holidays involve catching up with my kids in the US and Australia (though I do have a pal in Winnipeg but he says the shows are better over the border).

Stu, Matt & Mandie and a few others are planning a trip to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in Pennsylvania, next July, then onto the Pontiac Nationals in Ohio the following weekend...

[Steve]

That will be a fantastic trip. Guessing there will be 1000s of great cars and stalls there.

I think we are in Pennsylvania after that but hoping to find something interesting to go to. I went to Pomona in the 90s and it was really good, except .... I only had $10 in cash and some travellers cheques. The 10 got me in and parked ($12 but the guy on the gate felt sorry for me). No way was I persuading anyone in the whole place that travellers cheques were a legitimate way of funding travelling spending money. Apparently they are legal everywhere except Pomona. It was baking hot and I was starving and thirsty all day.

I had the same trouble in North Hollywood. Didn't realise how dodgy it is there and the shops thought I was a scammer and were going to call the Police. I felt like I was in a Michael Mann movie

I think I read there were 3000 cars and 60,000 visitors, this year
