american muscle cars

[camsouth]

ok this may sound silly i have only seen one here so far a mustang are there any out there that own or have any american muscle cars ? just wondering if there are any here in thailand ?

[PomRakBKK]

The steering wheel is on the left side. Thats why you barely see them and they are expensive as hell. 6 or 7mil+

[transam]

They are out there, in Ubon seen a couple of 60's Mustangs, Buick Riviera (455), Pontiac Bonneville (400), late 60's Ford 2 door saloon,and a new Camaro.

[ATF]

Actually the prices are about 3.5m baht new as long as you don't go for the 5 litre versions.

However they are all left hand drive.

American Car Club Thailand has quite a few Classics.

Poor Mrs TA. She's going to wonder where all her tissues have gone.

In the eighties it was relatively common to see old American cars (and many early Mercs etc , and even the Aussie Holdens ) being driven around Bangkok . I guess they all eventually die and go to that great scrapyard in the sky.

Bit off topic but my mate back in the 70's UK bought, I think the year was a 1969 SS Camaro 396 big block convertible (rare) for I think 800 quid . He got banned from driving and sold it for (I think) 1400 quid . That car now is worth a fortune..

Little bit off topic I agree, it is refreshing you did not post about your transam again though.

I like this 66 Fastback. Shame about the price tag though.

That car's immaculate and right hand drive though.. Not much more then it would cost stateside in that condition.

[arthurwait]

Nice.

Was going to say it would be much better than spending it on a Mercedes then I saw the 190SL. Want , want, want.

I was more complaining about the price tag because I cannot afford it. in the real world (not my impoverished one) I agree the price is not too unrealistic.

Yes the Thai American Car Club has many American muscle cars in the club. They usually have a show every year. Have not been in a couple years since I sold my 1965 Olds Cutlass but here is a link to some photos I took at one of their shows.

The black thing (Lincoln ?) reminds me of the car the from the movie "The Car"..... I tried to convince my boss to buy it when it was up for sale a few years ago.

Actually the prices are about 3.5m baht new as long as you don't go for the 5 litre versions.

However they are all left hand drive.

I was under the impression that a 2 litre right hand drive Mustang had been built and was soon to be supplied for the UK and other markets, there is also a 5 litre V8 for those who cannot stand the thought of anything less in a Mustang

I just don't see a UK Escort in the new Mustang, maybe you need some fresh glasses.
