As many of you know Ron Meier who hosts the 914 swap meet for many years passed away suddenly on August 3. In honor of him I am renaming the swap meet.

Please email me pictures of previous swap meets to post in this listing and Craigslist ads we will post. I will post in the Inland Empire Craigslist. I ask that others post in other California regions including but not limited to SD, Orange county, LA, Ventura, Arizona. Each year we attract new 914 owners who have not heard about the swap meet. If you are a member Facebook or other Porsche forums please post it. Please post the relevant data from this post.

Date: Sunday, October 23 2016, 6AM -Noon.

Where : My shop and parking lot area at 10000 Indiana Ave Unit #9, Riverside CA 92053

https://www.google.com/search?q=10000+india...-8&oe=utf-8

Located off of Indiana Ave between Tyler and Jackson.

My shop is in the second building back from Indiana facing away from the street. There are usually many red and yellow signs for the neighboring BBQ Island shop called Gillian's Island

I will request a $20 per seller donation. Free admission to non sellers.

Food: I am having catered tacos with three kinds of meats, rice and beans. Water and soft drinks. Cost for taco plate is $10 per person.

We have about 20 car spaces available along the North- South wall. Car parking will be between the first and second (10000 building). Few other businesses are open on Sunday so parking should not be an issue. No parking in the non stripped parking spaces.

Please reply to this thread to keep it bumped and to give me an idea as to the number of people who are may to attend. Pass the word to those who may not frequent this forum or any 914 owner you know.

I will also be posting Craigslist ads with a similar announcement and will request that others help post in same info in the LA, San Diego and surrounding areas.

Please reply to this thread to keep it bumped and to give me an idea as to the number of people who are may to attend.

I can be reached by cell at 951 536 seven for seven ate

I'd like to make it.. Lord knows we have tons of parts for sale

BTW, thank you!

Posted by: Rand Sep 29 2016, 01:35 PM

Part of me thinks Slits would prefer to keep the name G&R. But that's just a thought and you know better. Good on you for placing honor where it's due. Glad the tradition lives.

Posted by: Mr.Nobody Sep 29 2016, 09:05 PM

Went last year, met Slits and a bunch of other really nice people, had a blast and got a ton of great stuff. Definitely will be back again this year.

Posted by: Larmo63 Sep 29 2016, 09:18 PM

You thought Slits was a nice person?

That didn't help!

Posted by: MATCHBOX914 Sep 30 2016, 03:17 PM

How is this possible? 2 Porsche meets on the same day ! OK count me in for 1 swap space.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Sep 30 2016, 05:59 PM

This is going to hurt,, Chambers swap is the same day????? boy maybe I am out???
maybe we should bump 914 swap a week.

MMMMMM donuts.

Wait a minute!! Didn't you just say something about donuts?

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Sep 30 2016, 06:08 PM

I can change my mind. Or maybe your talking to yourself again.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Sep 30 2016, 06:12 PM

We'll miss you.

Posted by: 914_teener Sep 30 2016, 10:17 PM

So I wonder what Slits would say about this?

First, when did anybody consider a 914 all Porsche?

Second, why is an assdrager swap meet in conflict with a NARP swapmeet?

Posted by: don-6 Sep 30 2016, 10:22 PM

WWSS?
What would Slits say?

Posted by: euro911 Oct 1 2016, 12:07 AM

Oh come on Elliot ... probably referring to YOU, specifically

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 1 2016, 06:57 AM

I don't think changing the date will work for me. Going earlier gives very short notice. The next weekend I have to work on Saturday which I need to prep for the swap meet.
I have been to most of John's swap meets and there is little 914 stuff of buyer there.
Going to go with plan A.

Well, it isn't as though you haven't been so characterized before.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Oct 1 2016, 03:57 PM

Who... Me? Naaaahh.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Oct 5 2016, 01:41 PM

This is THE swap of the year if you are a 914 person. You won't be sorry you attended. If you need something, post it on this thread. ( I need a drivers side outside door handle). Likewise if you have something for sale that you think someone might want. Pics as usually are always nice. Do not miss this one. See ya there.

Go for it and let us know. Some of them have some teeth. Most of them are coyote ugly, but they all look the same in the dark.

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 9 2016, 11:27 AM

I am fine with 911 as there are a lot of good parts on those donor cars. I am reaching out to some sellers who have 911 part to come. 356 is a different crowd as well as the H2O cars

Posted by: euro911 Oct 9 2016, 11:49 AM

Elliot said so ...


How do you know they all look the same?

Posted by: garrettlee2 Oct 10 2016, 01:39 PM

so where do you stand on 924 parts Bruce?

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 12 2016, 03:00 PM

As far as I can to get away from them.
You going to bring that Martini 924?
We need a good look at Porsche's bad replacement for the 914.

Or bring the Wabbit or the Volvo either one will bring comic relief.
Or fill you Sprinter van with parts.

I'll be there.

I have stuff to pick up and stuff to sell.

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Oct 20 2016, 10:38 PM

Who cares. Will Dianne be there?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Oct 20 2016, 10:44 PM

If you haven't been to a G&R you really should go. I have been going to this event for years. Always a good time. It will take me about 5 hours to get there, so distance is no excuse not to attend. Drive safely and I hope to see you all there.
Cheers, Elliot
PS I need an outer driver side door handle.

Wish I could be there, but I will be at that other swap meet. Im trying to unload all this 944S stuff...

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 21 2016, 07:10 PM

Good luck with selling the 944 parts. I have seen the same guy with the same 944 parts at that meet for the last three meets.

Posted by: garrettlee2 Oct 21 2016, 09:29 PM

944 parts? Any black seats?

Posted by: 914_teener Oct 21 2016, 09:38 PM

Well OK, it's 4:30 in the morning, I'm still up. I've either come down with the flu or the worst head cold in memory. Either way I'm fuched. More than usual actually. Everything aches. Even my hair hurts. Sinuses and eyes are infected. I baby-sat my 14 month old grand daughter last Wednesday. She was sick and sneezed in my face. TWICE. How can a 14 month old baby take me out so bad? Anyway I'm sure to every ones bitter disappointment, I won't be making it to the G&R. Because like I said, "I'm fuched". I need

Sorry to hear that you won't make the event and that you are sick. Hope you feel better and I'm sure you will be missed.

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 22 2016, 08:26 AM

I've had it since last Sunday. Wake up with a stuffed up head and headache every morning.

There is a nasty flu going around. Get well Elliot.

Thank you Bruce and family. Good time had by all

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Oct 23 2016, 03:00 PM

Yes thanks Bruce and family for keeping it rollin. Good to see Jim,Lawrence and Forrest out there. Lawrence thanks for the head light parts and Forrest keep in touch regarding your motor. Last Up Elliot your sick humor was missed today!!

Posted by: altitude411 Oct 23 2016, 08:36 PM

So... is it time to make those unable to attend (me) jealous/pissed off with all the cool stuff you lucky bastards scored at the swap?

Lets see it.

Posted by: second wind Oct 23 2016, 09:11 PM

Thank you Bruce for yet another beautiful and fun filled 914 swap meet! the food was fabulous as has been in the past, I found a great deal on a couple of parts, and really fun as always to make new friends with other 914 crazy fanatics. Please pardon the redundancy. Names are tough but super nice guy with a 2.8 six that was drop dead georegous....and fast i understand....and an eggplant 4 owned by Gene who was my clone on everything.....hours and money spent....trying to hit perfection (impossible)....and having five of everything but need one more...good to see oldtimers Bob and Glenn and Robert and Mark and Jason and many others....and Bruce's family with grandkids all over was a high point for me. Funny how I am not a day older but Bruce has grandkids four feet tall....and looking for their "cut" on every sale... bought three oil filters for $5 so changed my oil this afternoon... all good and the drive both ways...almost 200 miles...worth the effort. Can't wait for the next one! Thank you again Bruce and of course we missed Ron the entire time. Please keep it going as I need a few more items.

Very cool! Met some neat people.
The quote of the day goes to the 8-9 year old boy to his sister on riding a skateboard "Let me show you how the Pro's do it". I chuckled all the way home

Posted by: 914_teener Oct 23 2016, 11:05 PM

Couple of pics. Started with some weird tropical type sprinkles....so rain in So Cal is good what ever type it is.

One pic is of Larwrence's rig... still has some nice parts from his 2.0 liter stuff.

Only pics I have as I had quite the list to do at home still. Couple of nice sixes and some old friends I have not seen in a while.

Ron came to mind several times. It has been more than 10 years since I've started coming to these things.......met a lot of nice folks along the way. Memories.

Posted by: 7TPorsh Oct 24 2016, 10:35 AM

No pics but:

- Glove box box
- Pair of under dash air vent covers
- Rear Trunk Weld Support
- Right Defroster Vent

- and missed out on a pair of $10 air deflectors by 5 seconds.....

Total spend......wait for it....... $25

Thanks Bruce!

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 24 2016, 01:05 PM

Thanks to all who attended. I would like to expand the swap meet to include air cooled 911 which are such such great parts donor cars.
Also considering another meet in January 2017. Knowing weather can be an issue I would choose two weekend days and if the weather looks bad bump it to the next weekend.
Third change is to have a food truck from 8-12. The taco deal is liked buy I have a flat fee regardless of how many people eat and have fallen far short of covering costs.
Any feed back is welcome unless you don't agree with me

A note of thanks to the great crowd who attends. I have never had a problem with cleaning us afterwards and never have any parts that disappeared.

It was great to see Peter get out to the swap meet and his progress in battling the health issued he faces. Seeing the smile on his face made my day.

Bruce

Posted by: bdstone914 Oct 24 2016, 10:32 PM

That was Matty my grandson. He and his sister love the swap meets. His 4 year old sister scares me everytime she gets on a skateboard. No fear at all there.
