    Check out this 70 Challenger we found in Thailand
    « on: July 10, 2009 - 03:54:50 AM »
    Saw this on a recent holiday to Koh Samui in Thailand. Got to love the C & C chain link steering wheel eh. God forbid, I think its fitted with a small block Chev??
    The owner reckons hes had it for ages and said it was in one of the 007 James Bond movies filmed in Bangkok! I don’t remember seeing any Challengers in any J/B movies??

    I must say that is the first chevy I have ever seen in a challenger.

    Glad to see one way over there but man, those wheels, steering wheel, hood scoop, etc. are pretty fugly.

    Man dont let that engine bay pic get out or we will have a bunch of people putting sb chebbies into classic Mopars   :puke:  Seems like every old coupe or t-bucket has a damn chevy engine in it. Kinda cool to see a Challenger that far away. I never remember any Challengers in James Bond movies either.   :dunno:

    Almost have to be The Man With the Golden Gun. I don't remember seeing any Challys in it though. Only a bunch of AMC's.

    Looks like a home made T/A hood scoop?  :dunno:

    I think to complete the package it needs a set of spinner hub caps.   :roflsmiley:


    It is cool to find a Challenger in Thailand, though.  :grinyes:

    Man, I've seen a 340 in a 90 Firebird but never a Chevy sb in a E-body. :smilielol:  I guess you really can get Chevy parts anywhere.  Thats why we are special :)

    Yeah, its a crime by my way of thinking.
    Still, I’ve seen worse. Believe it or not a lot of the older imports in Thailand have their original motors removed (when they die) and they are replaced with 4 cylinder diesels!!. Now that’s something I never want to see, an E body with a diesel engine. At least this one has a V8 fitted eh.
