Try Mister Narong on Bang Na or another place not far from Udomsuk, there are two places, one is easy to find, directly on the Bang Na Highway. Speak only with Mister Narong. The Salesstaff is useless. Narong have about 200 American Cars. Some are ok, some not. The best if you restore by your self, so you know what you get. He is the only guy in BKK. I' my self living in Pattaya, i bought tree cars of Mister Narong and restored them. Buy only if the original V8 engine is inside. American cars don't use Toyota engines. The "classic" is destroyed if it have a japanese engine or japanese dashboard. Good luck

Correct US cars should never fitted with Japanese engine,, and i can recoment Khun Narong as well, he is the man, i have deal with him in few accosation with chevys.

also Narong is advertising in bkk post usually weekends abt one or two his cars.

Try Chalerm's garage. He is a relyable guy and skilled restorer. Big stock of restored and unrestored vintage cars. Some American cars, but more specialised in MG, MB, Jaguar. He also builds vintage bodies on donor car chassis (Fiat Topolino on Datsun) The garage is off Lat Prao 101. Turn right by the temple at the end of Lat Prao 101, direction Bankapi.

You will find him on the left hand side, a few hundred meters after the sharp double bend.

Arthur,

I pass that garage regularly. There is always a lovely selection of classics in and around the premises in various stages of restoration (in the true sense of the word). Yesterday there was a Jaguar XJS and a Porsche 928 parked at the front with sale boards on the roof. Usually a couple of 911's and older Ferrrari's in the doorway. Even saw a DeLorean there a few months ago. Always something tasty to wind your neck out at as you drive by.

Can't say I've ever noticed any US stuff there though, maybe inside ?

Cheers,

INTJ.

Like I said, he has an odd muscle car at hand sometimes, but is more into different cars. Most of his stock is inside. Next time you pass by there go and have a look inside. Chalerm appreciates farang interest in his work. He will give you full details of everything and will even show you some dvd of recent restaurations. Especially his vintage MB convertible is a nice piece which he is very proud of. I suppose though, that alot of his projects are not his own, but done on order. Mostly ordered by thai people, I think. I have not seen many farang around there. Also not an area where many farang frequent. Spoke to some of his Thai customers, who are all quite pleased with him.

Cheers
