Hopefully it won't pour this year. Last year was terrible, and there weren't many cars there to look at if you were buying.

About the Swap

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 21st, 2012. This is without exaggeration the largest event of its kind on the planet. It typically brings nearly 650 vendors, around 1,000 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. In 2009, we had visitors from England, Italy, germany and Switzerland.)

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, too!

• Same location as 2004 – 2007, back on the other side of Giant Center
• Largest gathering of Porsches in USA
• Reserved Porsche-Only Parking for over 900 cars
• Free Admission. Parking $10/car
• Gates open 7:30am & close 4pm
• Event held rain or shine
• On site food, beverage and clean bathrooms
• ATM within 10min drive
• Peoples Choice Concours
• Porsche Corral for private sales. $20/car, no pre-registration nec.
• Reserved Parking Available for Porsche Caravans. See Swap Chairman for details.
• No pets/animals allowe
