Mustang not coming to Thailand anytime soon.

Hopefully some inspired importer will read this thread and bring the RHD in as a grey import, cost a bit more than direct from Ford but can be serviced there easily

as a hint to importers reading this Ford japan will soon have them

This is a USA Mustang...around 1980......

That's when they were real ugly and SLOW.

Must admit I watched these fugging excuses for a Mustang run 10's in Florida way back..........

And you are still stuck way back when reading your posts, You and Old Aged Pensioner.... Errrrrr Ace of Pop need to retire gracefully and start knitting cause any info or opinion either of you might have in regards to cars of this era was already out of date 20 years ago.

Petrol heads never die, only bigots think that...........Can you show me new-ish stuff that runs 10's....?

[Rdrokit]

They only ran 10s because none of the mechanical parts were stock. In stock trim they ran 16s

Sure, the light weight and a tricked 5 ltr got the numbers...........

The new Challenger Hellcat runs 10.8s off the showroom floor with drag radials.

[WarpSpeed]

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

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.

Ok well, were both in that boat so I hear ya loud and clear...

[WarpSpeed]

Hmmmmmmmm, the 427, 429 would be my choice.............(7 litre)...............

Turbo 2.3 litre 4 cyl - 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.

Naturally aspirated 3.7 litre V6 - 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

Naturally Aspirated 5.0 V8 - 420 horsepower and 396 lb-ft of torque.

I will take the 427 in an early muz.............If you talking about the later Muz that looks like a UK escort , put what you like in it.......

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

Yep and independent suspension so it can handle now too... I'd love to track one of these..

[camsouth]

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

well i had 2 mustangs 1972 with a 359 v8 cleveland seound and best year for new body style then i have a 2007 mustang gt with lots of exta's added after new pulls about 500 hp

You have a 2007 500hp Mustang in Thailand??

[kartman]

Really you are gunna drag up an old fox body mustang in a thread about US muscle cars (They kill it on the drag strip though).

Most of the US car shows i watch go crazy about Fox body Mustangs how they are underrated (V8s of course)

I was searching for a 60s Mustang and came across these 2 babies, any thoughts from those who know these models well, price etc?

personally I am leaning towards the Shelby even though the fastback is a RHD

Never did like the 68 rear end look and the back window has such a rake you have almost no rear visibility. If you really want a Mustang there is a 1970 for sale in Bangkok which is probably cheaper than either of the 2 you are considering.

Not fresh from the showroom you didn't... more likely mid 14's.

Edit:... I missed your other post about running 16's.

Not a lot runs 10's fresh from the showroom floor. either now or way back then.... new cars (stock) however do run better numbers.

They still do watched some the other night, also the fastest car out there which was a Datsun Sunny (yes I said Datsun) with a 13b rotary turbo (the size of the engine) running low 7:40's at 152 mph while shutting down early .. Crazy stuff! What a handful it was with that short wheel base!

If I had the choice it'd be the Shelby hands down no contest, for more reasons then I could mention, but especially since the fastback looks to need a front oil seal as well. There's oil all over the cardboard on the floor towards the front of the engine, I'd happily deal with it being left hand drive.

I would also be buying it for the right reasons, back home such a car could be said to often only exist to attract girls, here in Thailand the answer would be "Oh you only got an old Ford, poor you, better you buy a Toyota pickup"

[WarpSpeed]

THAT car will likely attract more guys than girls.. Not being a Ferrari or something else equally egotistically pretentious most women in this time could not appreciate that car and it's history .

Why not? The 2014 model is here.

Could not believe my eyes, about 200 metres from me in the sticks a Thai guy has a garden full of late-ish Mercs, think he buys and sells, past there yesterday to see what looked like a 69 Pontiac Grand Prix.... . As some know I am/was a Pontiac buff, I might just try and look under the hood....

Thats why I want to look, check the engine stamp (if Pontiac) to see if it is the original lump....

Problem is I don't speak Thai so they will think I want to buy it....
