Over the years there have been a few threads here about the classic car scene ( mainly in BKK) maybe a search for a few key words might help???

Good luck

Looking for something like that one? That's what I call a beauty

Classic cars are aplenty in Thailand if you get out and about. The trouble starts though when you lift the bonnet and find the original engine has been ripped out and thrown away and a nice shiny modern Turbo diesel Toyota engine has been shoehorned in

A few years ago I so a late sixties Toyota Celica in pristine condition, actually it looked as if it came out of the showroom right away, parked at a small house in the middle of the rice fields in Yasothon.

I wonder if you ask for the price if you need to go sit down.

The new "Train Market" out by On Nut has a display of old USA cars and trucks ,

you might go out there some weekend and talk with them ,

Anyone know how hard it is to import one directly from the USA and get legal Thai title on it ?

I know they changed the rules a few years ago to stop something like the "Monks Mercedes Convertible" happening , bringing a car in as parts and assembling it later......

And to me a nice toyota motor + trans is a good thing if you plan on driving it much

A '60s Celica? Interesting.

I'm surprised that hasn't been asked before on this forum. For the record it's a piece of cake...buy it, put it in a container and ship it to Klong Toey or Laem Chabang, arrive there the day it's unloaded, show Customs the papers for it and drive it away. Couldn't be less hassle.

I had heard there are big problems getting cars in and out of Thailand and selling them once imported.

If it were that easy, why are hardly any sane people doing this?????? Or is this answer a joke?

Carkolor should have the sense to tell it like it is. The Maserati on their web site is a fake with a Toyota engine and what could be a MX5 body.....highly modified of course and what looks like a genuine Maserati interior.

From the Carcolor site.

From a few years ago in Pattaya.

The fact is that for some cars, having the original engine is not practical here. Getting parts for many older cars is virtually impossible.

Don't know if it has been sold but there is a nice restored Chevy in Ubon....Not sure of the year though, could be early 50's. Will ask Mrs.Trans if it is still there near her daughters place.

Yep, it is still there for sale............

Hey Trans ... isn't yours around that age ... don't miss a chance to bin it ... I mean sell it

Having an old engine isn't practical in the UK in a lot of cases but that doesn't stop people wanting one. I looked at three lovely looking classics. An E type jag, MG BGT and an old Mk1 escort. All looked great from the outside but all had Toyota diesel lumps under the bonnet and I know this makes them practical but it also makes them totally different cars to own and especially to drive

Give me an original engine and the problems that it brings you every time as that is part of the " Pleasure " of owning a classic

Is your response a joke? Don't you ever read the threads that come up here on this subject?

I read the threads about that subject, and I think so far only 2 people have succeeded in getting it off the dockside, and it did cost them loads of money.
