Found a Zhuzhik ZAZ-968: what surprised the old “tramp”?
Breaking the laws of the genre, we will immediately answer the question posed. The old “Constipation” stunned with its unexpected cross-country ability, acceleration, and behavior on slushy snow and ice skating rinks. I was shocked by the energy-intensive, long-travel suspension. What did you expect? Did you think it was a mockery, a parody of a car?


No, he won’t immediately show what he’s capable of. Don't get your hopes up. It would be too simple, and we Soviets did not take the easy route. First, sweat: go through the parts, components, pipes. Touch it, move it, lubricate it. And without gloves, otherwise they took fashion! “Zaporozhets” loves men’s metalworking hands and engineering brains...

And now to the beginning. The guys from the Combat Crew channel purchased a Zaporozhets of retirement age. The guys took the equipment with reverence and respect. For which they receive a bow from those who owned and will never forget the “soap box.” Without grinning or mocking, enthusiasts worked their magic on the engine for several days.

The V-shaped “four” is as simple as two and two. But the carburetor is not like that. We’ve lost the habit of the mechanism, but it’s also nothing complicated. Moskvich repair kits and Zhiguli spark plugs were used. And then – a test drive and genuine admiration. Verdict: “Clear device, crazy potential.” However, everything can be seen in the video, kindly provided by the authors of the Combat Crew channel.
