Hot rod from the GAZ-21 "Volga" - no collection value, but how many emotions

GAZ-21 "Volga" is a legend of the Soviet automobile industry. This car is quite rare, but if you try, you can buy it not very expensive - thousands for 120 rubles at a quite brisk pace and in good condition. Of course, this is far from a collector's item - the prices for such are many times higher. But maybe this is the most interesting thing - to painstakingly restore it in the garage with your own hands?


Not every fan of retro technology is ready to accept it for what it is. And these are outdated performance characteristics, carburetor engines, stiff suspension and slow acceleration. There are people who want to have an old car that can "punish" most modern models.

Just such a car was made from the GAZ-21 Volga. Actually, the interior and bodywork remained here from the Soviet model, and even those partially, only to convey a retro appearance. This project does not represent any collection value, but the car turned out beautiful. It attracts attention several times more than expensive Italian supercars. Yes, and the technical characteristics are fascinating - suspension and brakes from Mercedes, a five-liter Chevrolet engine.
