In Saigon you can visit the presidential palace and in the basement there is a finnie, which was used a staff car. There is also a Huey parked on the roof which was used by the then president to go for rides around the place. Also there is a couple of T 56 tanks parked in the garden, not the real ones that broke the gates down (one of the real ones is in the army museum in Hanoi). However you can still see the tank track marks in the bitumen near the gates.
