Spring Englishtown Swap Meet & Auto Show

Where - Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ

When - April  16-18, 2004

Overview - OK.  I've never been here before so I have to start off by apologizing.  I had to do other things so I didn't get there until 2:00 PM on the last day.  That proved to be a mistake because it can easily take a few days to see it all if you take your time.  Additionally, since it was getting late people were packing up and leaving.  I had to go fast to see what was left but the pics are worth seeing I suppose.

This GT 350H was the first Mustang I cam across.  It was with a few other Mustangs near the end of the show field.  There were Corvettes all around them.  I was hoping they weren't the only Mustangs there.  I guess they ran out of room by the other Fords so they put tucked them in where they could.

Here are the cars that were with the GT 350H

Sorry, but I like the really old ones. I like seeing the interesting equipment that came with the cars.  Less people milling around them made it easier to get pics too.  I had to go quickly!

OK.  I found some more Mustangs.  I thought they were fairly well represented in the bunch.

A 1964 Falcon Sprint.  They say the Mustang is a rebodied Falcon.  I see little resemblance.  I guess they were really trying start fresh.

Other Fords were there too.

A couple of T-Birds

Right - All hail the mighty I6!.  I give this person credit for not transplanting a V8 in there.  Left - A '70 Torino with a 429.

The show field was on what they typically use as the drag strip.  It goes all the way back to the white building in the far distance.  I'm not really sure how long it is.  A mile?  The stream of cars in the middle were people leaving.  When I go back to this one it will be on the first day and I'll get there early.  The swap meet is on both sides of the show field.  It was really much much larger than I expected it to be.  To be honest I was wandering around one side looking for the show field and it took me a while to locate it.  Then I found the other side of the swap meet.  Impressive show.

I guess being stuck in traffic is easier to swallow in a Boss 302.

My "200 footer".  Distance and dim lighting can make anything look good.
