In Communist Russia car drives you

Someone needs this for the Lemons Rally. 

Room in trunk for many filthy Capitalists. 

Damn. Almost tempted to go get this. My wife's family were from the Volga river area. Cool history. Germans from Russia. 

That is much better looking than I thought.

Reminds me of a Plymouth Cricket.  Do you know what powers a Volga?

That sounds kinda vulgar.

Yes it is. 

I'm assuming this didn't come over until after 1991? 

Can always put the body on a similar wheelbase chassis you are familiar with.

Someone do it up with a Boris and Natasha theme.  Because Moose and Squirrell...

I saw a friend of mine this afternoon and he told me about this car. He has been in contact with the owner and if they can agree upon a price he'll buy it.

What ever gets done to the car may be posted on the "24 Hours of Lemons" forum as the new owner doesn't visit this forum.

Funny, I did a "guess what car" thread a while ago on the Barka B1000 red and white van in the background.

I asked just how bad of an idea buying a Russian car out of Chicago and driving it back to florida was in the middle of winter with no backup plan. I was not met with discouraging words. 

I saw that car and was thankful I don't know how to drive stick.  It was too tempting especially as I know an older Russian engineer come mechanic.

RockAuto has parts for it.

Please don’t let them lemons it up
