Today I drove the Valiant down there from Elkton to meet RacerBob, pick up a four speed and see if there were any parts to be had. The swap meet had the most reasonable prices I've seen in the last 10 years.
I scored the 833 from Bob, an A-body inland shifter, a four speed hump and a pair of Monocoque small bolt wheels and still had enough cash left over to buy lunch. Some of the other things I had to pass on were a complete A-body 8 3/4 with an open pig and drums for $400, an A-body housing with aftermarket large bolt axles for $350 and two small bolt rotors, spindles and calipers for $125.
There were a ton of nice cars. My favorites were a 70 300 H and a 68 Hemi Dart (not a SS clone, but done to look like a factory car). Considering all the parts I got for my car, it was well worth the trip. Plus the track is a very nice facility. I'll be going back next year, hopefully to run my car.
