Yuri Nikulin had such a Volga. Almost like that

We are, of course, talking about the GAZ-22. The famous Soviet clown of all times had this van in black. True, under the hood there was a carburetor and a weak ZMZ with 75 liters. With. Although, if Yuri Nikulin got the export version, it had much more power, as much as 85 “horses”. The car has long become a rarity, but boys and young men of the 60s remember it well, as if they saw it yesterday.


Therefore, you should not be surprised when this rarity falls into the hands of “customers” fulfilling someone’s order. The external identity of the station wagon with a transformable interior has practically nothing in common with the GAZ-22. We are talking, first of all, about the power plant. Under the hood of the example that the host of the NVA-Motors video blog tells us about, there is nothing even close to the ZMZ. There is a normal naturally aspirated V8 (276 hp!) with an automatic transmission, and in front there is a huge radiator sparkling with nickel, which goes well with the overall retro style of the car.

It’s not big for beauty – the owner is just thinking about adding a turbine under the hood. Well, to bring tears from the eyes of everyone standing next to you at a traffic light... But what about the suspension, gearbox? There, too, the hand of the “Kulibins” went through, and well. Just look at the integration of the rear gearbox from FORD MUSTANG. But it is capable of “digesting” 700 liters. With. Agree, it’s already interesting. But you can discover more details by watching this video. We highly recommend this!
