Some
years ago, Ralph Wilson from
Wodonga, Australia, bought the car from his brother Ben. He's also the
one standing in the background of the first photo. That's Ralph's daughter
Gabby standing next to the "family car". |

Rear

Sharp
looking 504 in Australia has been converted to a 4.4 liter V8 engine,
5 speed gearbox and lowered suspension. This streetmachine belongs
to a Michael Richards |

This
1980 504 GL belongs to Adam
Fairfax. It has 242,000 genuine Kilometers and is still like new...
Adam added Koni adjustable hydraulic shock inserts in the front and
back, as well as a overhauled BA10 5 speed transmission. Other changes
will be 15" wheels and a a 32/36 DGV Weber carb |
This
picture was made during the All French Car day in Sydney for all State
Clubs, where Adam's 504 [pictured left] won the Concours Prize for Best
504 at the show. Hard competition: Note the gleaming inside of this
participants' bonnet... |

Another
slightly modified beauty: 504 with double round headlights. Note rally
lights and modern alloy wheels |
Peter
Wilson
took this photo of two Peugeot 504s taking part in a rally through wet,
muddy forests at Cowra. The white 504 owned by Andy Crane is powered
by a 505 GTi engine, modified with an Australian programmable engine
management system |

The
V6 lads: As you might have guessed, these proud owners lining up here
have fitted Peugeot V6 engines to their 504s. Photo again by Peter |
Steve
Palocz,
president of the Peugeot Car Club of NSW, helped to organise the 504's
30th anniversary weekend at Wagga Beach. Nearly 50 504's came together
that weekend... |

country. Photos from Peter & Steve / The Pugilist (great guys,
excellent club mag!) |
All
good things must come to an end... Crashed australian 504 with unusual

Lars
Thieme snapped this PEUGEOT 504 GL during his last holiday 2002 |

Wonder
what's under the scooped bonnet of this 504? Wait for it: This must
be the world's only 504 with a Wankel rotary engine! This unique car
belongs to Sam, who did
the conversion to a 13B Turbo from a Mazda series 4 RX7. His car has
extensively been modified... The custom moulded scoop throws cold air
down on an intercooler which also has a fan built in it (controlled
from inside, to use when in traffic) |

The motor consists of a high-flowed turbo which is capable of flowing
up to 18psi (very scary) through the top mounted intercooler. Engine
management is via a Microtech digi 2 pro computer which is quite a common
brand of computer for rotary powerd cars. It runs a series 4 RX7 gearbox. |
|||
The motor also runs on gas which is better as it runs higher levels
of octane to prevent detonation, says Sam. Other wise the 504 looks
like a standard GL/TI model. So the disc brakes all round can handle
the extra power. |
Sam's
504 has also the luxury of air conditioning. The interior / exterior
is in immaculate condition. Note extra gauges. Sam says the PEUGEOT 504 is one of the most comfortable cars to sit in and drive for its age |
