AZ all Porsche swap meet and Car Show

#1 Post by Jules Dielen »

When: Saturday May 3 – 6am to noon.

What: All Porsche swap meet and car show. 356 and 911, parts, accessories, cars etc.

Where:
Deluxe Customs
426 W Gemini Dr
Tempe, AZ 85283

(1.5 miles east of I-10 on Kyrene Rd between Baseline and Guadalupe)

This location is in a cul-de-sac of an industrial area. Overflow parking for non-Porsche / non show cars will be plentiful.

Entry is FREE.

We will supply the spaces and coffee/cookies for the early birds, swappers must bring their own tables/ blanket/ chairs/ shade etc.

Matt Howard from Deluxe Customs will be showing a few Porsches in/for restoration in their shop as well.

Just to get an idea of attendance, please send me a quick note (jules.Dielen@vw.com) - (show car/ need swap space), just so we have a rough idea what to expect for the swap space/coffee and cookie count!

Depending on attendance/ interest, we will do our best to make this an annual event – so start cleaning out the garage and bring all your greasy car parts and shiny cars!

Matt hop on a plane and come on down. I can't think of a better excuse to visit Arizona. Hope you can see the sun again by now :)

current count is 16 swap spaces and 20 show car entries! Plus whoever shows up unannounced. Excellent weather forecast, so it should make for a fantastic event!

Current count is 20 swappers and 24 official cars, mostly 356! Also heard about some of the parts showing up at the swap - restored 356 gauges, NOS sheet metal, wheels and tons of engine stuff. If you need parts, bring your checkbook or lots of cash!

Pix to follow shortly! It was a great turnout! Lots of cars! about a dozen 356ers showed up, coupes, cabs and speedsters, and bunches of early 911s including a black 67, a golden green 68, a 71, an albert blue 72 coupe and a load of others including a very nice 914/6, a beautiful 74 coupe and a bunch of modern stuff!

The swap meet was great, Mike from the AZ outlaws was there selling merchandize, and we had a bunch of swappers.

About 300 people showed up!

Matt's Deluxe Customs shop looked amazing with about a dozen cars lined up, mostly 356, but also a VW fridolin.

We will definitely keep this one going. We already have some plans for next year.

Thank you for spreading the word guys!
