RE: Amazing collection of American Muscle Cars I discovered in Bangkok
The light blue one is a Lincoln Continental, most likely a 1964 version. Probably one of the most sought after cars in that group.
Since the Charger doesn't have it's engine, it isn't worth as much. The Barracuda has some major rust issues and would cost a pretty penny to restore.
The SS Camaro is nice, but not as rare as the three I just listed.
Thanks @deanlogic Great to know what they are. That Lincoln would be amazing once fully restored.
And, yes, they are called suicide doors on the Lincoln.
I wonder what they have done to it, since obviously those aren't period correct wheels, but it looks like they kept the engine.
I thought those wheels looked quite good on it. Perhaps they are just on so its easier to move the car around.
I can't tell from the picture, but it looks like it was lowered.
The Charger was hacked up and had a blower on it at some point. The old Pontiac Firebird looks to have been scavenged, but was probably also a racer. The black SuperSport also seems to have been a racer.
So, whatever the owner was doing, he wasn't leaving anything stock. The exception is the GTO, which looks like it is about to disintegrate. It looks like surface rust, but based on the 'Cuda, there is probably worse damage underneath.
Thanks for the comments.
I reckon some of these cars would have been imported to Thailand by US military guys who were in Thailand during the Vietnam War and afterwards.
Would be really cool to know their full history.
