The Central PA Region of the Porsche Club of America is once again bringing its world-famous Porsche-Only Swap Meet to Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, April 24th, 2004.

This is without exaggeration the largest event of its kind on the planet. It typically brings nearly 650 vendors, over 750 Porsches, and over 6,000 visitors together in Hershey every year. (In 2003 the long-distance award went to a 968 driver from Albuquerque, NM!) If you’re seeking an obscure Porsche or an obscure part for your Porsche, this is your best chance to find it. Every dealer and Porsche packrat in a 250-mile radius will be bringing their odds and ends for sale or swap! You’ll see exotic Porsches found nowhere this side of Stuttgart, and Porsche personalities ranging from PCA muckety-mucks to (sometimes) celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld.

We’ll once again be featuring a People’s Choice Concours on Saturday, and a Sunday Autocross on the same site. So come Saturday for your parts, install ’em Saturday night, and run ’em Sunday!

HERSHEYPARK, Hershey, Pennsylvania
Gates open to the public 7:30AM · Close 4:00 PM · Rain or Shine

Caravan Details

Background
We have 20 parking spots reserved for us when we arrive in a caravan. I have posted here to let everyone know we will be assembling a caravan out to this event. Parking is $5.00 per car and there is also a Concourse De Elegance for $10.00. Several of us may want to enter the CDE and I will update this post with that information as soon as I hear from them.

Meeting Date

Meeting Place
Dunkin' Donuts in Phillipsburg, NJ that we met at for last year's New Hope run.

Meeting Time
6:30AM

Please arrive gassed up and ready to roll!!!!

 

Ken, I'm in even though I'm a slacker and haven't renewed my PCA.

 

Damn! This is the first Hershey (Rounttop) that I have missed in a decade. Car and me will still be in Naples.
Saw Jerry Seinfeld there a few years ago.
Damn!!!

 

Looks like I will attend the event and particpate in the caravan. God, I will have too get on the road a little after 3:00 AM in order to make it to Phillipsburg by 6:30....Hey at least the road will be clean of slugs at that time.

Do you need to be a PCA member to attend??? My PCA region looks pretty weak up here...What are the benefits at the meet of being a PCA member??? ie: parking ect. If I can't park in the same area as you guys, perhaps I will join NNJPCA region....

 

Chris,
I don't think you need to be a PCA member. It is good to be anyway though just to get Panorama and the local monthly mag as well (Porscheforus for NNJR). I have only partaken in several of the PCA events in the 15 years I have been a member.
Why not come down the night before and stay at a motel to lighten the driving load?

 

Don,
I think you should find a way to get up here!!
BTW, my parents closed on their Florida property so now I have a place to crash down there. It is in Marco Island.
Ken

 

That would be a possiblity... If I don't get down to re-dyno my car at AWE before that, maybe I will take that friday off and visit AWE and then find some place to stay overnight....

 

Hmmmmm. That would be a good idea. Maybe we can go to AWE together on Friday.

 

That sounds great!! Count me in.

 

Sounds like a plan!!!! Any idea's where I could find a safe place to stay where I would'nt have to worry about my car being messed with overnight before leaving for Hershey????

 

Thanks Hani, but I want to caravan with the Jersey/NY metro boys, so PCA official hotels are out. I am also uncomfortable with big hotels, since my car will be out in a big open parking lot, unattended and my room probably won't be near the car, so I need to come up with some other idea...

 

Sosrry for the OT post...
KPV - can you pretty please spill it on the Techart Ultra GT front??

 

That would be great and dinner out would be on me...Not sure how the master would feel about an NA car parked in his driveway!!!

 

Well, if that's the case, I better come with Lobster's and steak's in hand w/ some pop secret!!!

 

LOL Hani....I think its because everyone who has a type II is on this board
I likd the Hamann front but heard the fit is not htat great....plus it wouldnt look good with stock sideskirts and the hamann ones are hideous...The techart sides have grown on me so much especailly after seeing a full type I car here in Saudi!! They also has a full Hamann car (engine doors the works) at the showroom in custom rust orange: breathtaking...
