(Photos and words by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>The KYANA swap meet is held in the Spring and Fall utilizing the Western most portion of the Kentucky Exposition Center.\u00a0 This includes the Pavilion, Broadbent Arena, West Wing, and a bit more.\u00a0 There is also one lot outside for cars and vendors.\u00a0 It\u2019s the largest indoor swap meet I\u2019ve ever been to and you never\u2026.ever get through it all if you only go one day.\u00a0 I set out early with my two and one of their friends for a day of browsing and treasure hunting.\u00a0 This first gallery is represents the transportation machines in attendance.\u00a0 I am not going to mention prices much because on the first day of any swap meet\u2026.prices are generally high.\u00a0 Typically as the days and hours pass the price comes down because many vendors don\u2019t want to take their stuff home again.\u00a0 Lightening the load becomes more important than stretching their profit.\u00a0 I will bore you all quickly if I discuss the merits and problem of each.\u00a0 Here are some highlights.<\/p>\n

The Hellcat had decent miles and drew lots of lookers\u2026.because it\u2019s a hellcat.\u00a0 The T-top GN looks to have been sitting outside for a long time.\u00a0 Might clean up, but I\u2019d bet all the seals and such are toast.\u00a0 The \u00be-ton Chevy van would make an awesome tow rig and parts hauler.\u00a0 The tan, full-time 4wd Chevy Bonanza square-body was cool.\u00a0 They described it as clean and from the Southwest.\u00a0 Pretty sure when I read the price I exclaimed \u2018they\u2019re on crack\u2019.\u00a0 Some folks nearby that had already looked at it chuckled.\u00a0 The green \u201969 Chevelle sounded oh so nice when it pulled in and is a three-pedal car.<\/p>\n

Now inside we see this copper, Heavy Half C-10 that was extremely clean and low-mile.\u00a0 Not sure that translates to a $16,000.00 asking price.\u00a0 Not sure it doesn\u2019t either.\u00a0 The blue Fairlane hardtop was sweet and a solid driver.\u00a0 The Landau-topped G-body Malibu was minty and unmolested.\u00a0 I am not up on what these are worth so the $10k on the windshield might be appropriate.\u00a0 Red T-top disco Z28 was super nice and appeared nearly stock.\u00a0 Get some acid-washed jeans and high-tops then you\u2019d be set for cruising.\u00a0 The green triumph TR8.\u00a0 These do not grow on trees these days.\u00a0 Pretty sure they ever did.\u00a0 I did not see anything terribly wrong with this example.\u00a0 I\u2019d really like to see what an enterprising gearhead could do with one without altering the appearance much.\u00a0 The \u201954 Ford sedan delivery appeared to be a bargain once we gave it a quick look.\u00a0 The aqua-green K10 looked amazing.\u00a0 The right wheels, right stance, and otherwise relatively as delivered from the general.\u00a0 Not sure what I\u2019d do with it, but I\u2019d have it.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more KYANA swap meet and as always \u2013 enjoy.<\/p>\n
