This week we head out to Belvidere, Illinois for the 28th Annual Chicagoland Mopar Connection show and swap. The CMC group are huge supporters of what we do. In fact, several of their members are also key members of the MCACN team, and our good friend Roger Schmelling coordinates our Mopar Alley area every year along with Rob Wolf of Mopar Collectors Guide magazine. I have seen over 500 cars at this event, and every year I recruit some great cars for the MCACN show.
The show kicks off Saturday with their Modern Mopar and Midwest Charger meet. Some of the swappers also get rolling Saturday and of course, we’ll be set up ready to tell you what we have in store for our 10th Anniversary show, November 17-18. We’ll be in our usual spot in the main building, so stop by and see us! 


We’ll have our new Tie-Dye 10th anniversary logo shirts, (along with solid purple, red and blue), so plan on picking one up. We also have limited kids and ladies Tie-Dyes available, so get yours while they last! Sunday is always the big day, and the grounds fill up with everything from early 300’s to the hottest new Hellcats. there is always plenty of Mopar Muscle at this show!
