Gawler Swap Meet

**Blocker** · 19-09-2010, 10:47 AM

I saw one old beer bottle for sale for $5.. it was empty.

The Gawler swap meet is touted as a car swap meet, and in my opinion there was about 90% car bits and 10% tea cosy's and other household junk.

The car stuff was ok, but the prices were stupid. A pair of 14" rally II rims for $250 and they were in poor condition. HQ/J centre console with lid was $170. GTS guards that were more bog than metal for $400 (weld ins).

I scored an inner lower seat hinge bracket for $1. That is an awesome WIN for me.

I picked up the remaining brackets for passenger seat for $4.

Lots of Ryco gear and other boxed NOS stuff that I am not knowledgeable to identify, but I'll go back next year with a better understanding of what I'll be needing.
Most of the sellers are eBay savvy so their prices were exy... however the odd farmer with HK HT HG stuff and earlier were around.

Here's a couple piccies from the show.

$10 for this box of scalextric gear

Here's the console for $170... it was sold for that price too!

If those rally wheels were 6" you should have grabbed them as they were probably L34 or A9X. However they look 7" and the stud holes look flogged out.

How much did they have on the 69 Firebird Andrew?

I didn't take much notice at the time as he was asking $250 for the pair, they were stamped if I recall next to the valve hole so I moved on.

$28k. It looked nice, but I did not go tot he effort of making an enquiry as there were enough people talking to the owner already.

If they were 14x6, made in Australia and stamped next to the valve hole they are A9X. Only L34 were blank.
