Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
How many Sigma and Galant parts do you see in swap meets down in Vic?
Out of all the swap meets I've been to in the last 5 years, all I have seen in Newcastle is grills and tail lights.
That's a tidy looking Charger BTW... Does anyone know what the No.4 on the side means, I haven't seen that on them before (or haven't noticed).

It was only a small Swapmeet as the have the main one early in the year which is called The Super Suthern Swapmeet which is the largest swapmeet in Australia.
Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
I think the 4 means 4 barrel, as in carbi on the V8's
Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
All the '4' means is it has a 4spd gearbox.75wagon wrote:That's a tidy looking Charger BTW... Does anyone know what the No.4 on the side means, I haven't seen that on them before (or haven't noticed).

Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
That makes sense, the 3 speed was so bad the 4 speed was certainly worth bragging about
Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
Thanks, I didn't know what t 4 meant. I suppose the 4 speed gearbox makes sense.
I knew it was a 6 cylinder though. You can see the Hemi 6 pack sticker on the rear guard.

Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
Hi, not sure what the 4 actually means, but it was only ever given to the E49 chargers. These were the fastest of the lot. Of course it's likely that this one is just a replica as E49s are worth ultra-mega-megabucks nowadays.
From Wikipedia:
"In 1972, option E49 was released for the Charger R/T, whereby a more powerful (quoted at 302 bhp) version of an E38-style engine was mated to a four speed manual gearbox. This engine produced remarkable torque on a seven bearing configuration which enabled considerable power development previously unobtained from 6-cylinder engines and not surpassed until the Porsche Turbo 911 (300) release of 1975"

Re: Ballarat Swapmeet pic's
I go to the yearly Ballarat (Great Southern) Swap meet every year, it's easy for me as I live in Ballarat. Every year there's always the odd Sigma NOS tail light, badges, etc. Not much but still worth going. If anyone wants to meet me at the next one, let me know
