Moultrie Swap Meet Report(s)

[Hoop]

Best part of Friday was the beautiful weather. It started off just cool enough that an extra cup of coffee hit the spot. Of course, some folks like a little something stronger ... the locals continue to oblige the thirsty.

The day continued clear with no wind in the cotton fields of South Georgia.

Didn't see many flathead parts ... two transmissions, both 40's, one side-shift and the other early truck. I must of missed the distributors. Saw zero, but have to admit I was not working that hard. Ken in Ct. wasn't there, so no quality dist/carbs.

One pretty doggone nice '35 Tudor slant in the car corral ... but didn't walk the whole, very large corral. Prices are usually a little high, and I'm trying not to buy. Saved my money for corn dogs (about the same price as that '35 Tudor,)

This is the season for good pecans in Georgia ... Exum Pecan warehouse in Morven, halfway back to Valdosta.

Turkey Rod Run this coming week. More sunshine.

Very presentable, older restored 47-48 Tudor at the very back of the corral for 10,500 ask seemed reasonable. Had my eye on a 31 A Tudor that was rock solid and begging for a flattie at 8250 but it had already sold on my second swing through. What I've found out about buying cars (and I've bought three at Moultie over the years): "When you think long, you think wrong." If its right, you know it. Buy it. Pass on all the "maybe's". One problem with Moultrie in the SE is that it's right before the Turkey Run. One of my buddies wanted a car at Moultrie that was truly a good deal and he fell in love, but he was scared to spend his money before the Turkey Run. Not to worry. He'll see the same car next Friday in Daytona......with another 8 or 10 thousand on the windshield.
