Default West coast swap meets?

I'm always hunting for parts to restore my C1 and I could swear that all the vendor shows are on the east coast or in the midwest. Are there any swap meets on the west coast for early parts? Los Angeles has got to be loaded SOMEWHERE!

This forum and the Internet are you friend

Pomona=hot,cold,sweaty,tired a lot of effort for little results

Go for the entertainment not the parts and you'll enjoy yourself.

I always saw great stuff at Turlock and some early vette (always lots of tri five and muscle car). This was about 7 years ago but it seems that there were small ones every month and a large spring and fall meet. I walked past alot of stuff there that now I wish I had gotten.

I've been to both Pamona and Turlock . Be prepared to walk a LOT. lots of vendors and parts at both but I prefer Turlock , more casual and friendlier . Plus I found some parts I was looking for there !!

Never been to Turlock

Pomona #1 choice for early vette parts believe me lots out there.
As said getting there when they open is late. Get there early bring lots of cash a jacket and something to carry your stuff out in. Its all there.
