This weekend Start-Finish Productions hosts the annual Auto Parts Swap ‘n Sell at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA. This anticipated event provides the ultimate weekend getaway for automotive enthusiasts who have a passion for stock cars, hot rods, classics or custom cars. Flea market aficionados and avid bargain shoppers will relish the prices and selection provided by the 300 plus vendors.
Buyers and sellers alike enjoy the comfort of a heated venue and the additional benefit of showcase lighting. Auto Parts Swap ‘n Sell offers prices competitive with any online auction website without the cost of shipping, without the wait, and without the risk of buying sight unseen; helping to ensure mutually beneficial transactions.
The indoor all-automotive swap meet will feature a vast array of vendors including manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and private sellers offering a huge assortment of new and used parts for all automotive areas of interest.
“We have more private sellers than ever before, “said Brian Fredericks, Show Director. “It seems like a bunch of guys are cleaning out their garages. It should be very interesting.”
A host of loyal vendors line the aisles of the 123,000 square foot Better Living Center. For racers, top-notch retailers are always a mainstay at the annual Auto Parts Swap ‘n Sell with exhibits from the likes of Spraker Racing, Northeast Race Cars and Parts, Gardner Leavitt’s Action Racing, Duraflex, Central Connecticut Coatings, and many more.
After debuting at Auto Parts Swap ‘n Sell in 2010, Magnus Racing Products of Danielson, CT, has become the leader in transmission rebuilding and REM finishing in the racing industry. Owner Mike Sangermano and staff will be on hand this weekend to showcase their innovative product line and services.
