Rare humpback \\u0026quot;Zaporozhets\\u0026quot; ZAZ-965: chassis number 1373
Thinking about buying the legendary "hunchback" ZAZ-965 has long hovered in my head. And it was bound to be some super-rare version of "Zaporozhets" for the banal 965A and even export "Yalta" of no special interest — a lot of them and they're everywhere. Ideally, of course, wanted to find the post ZAZ-965С right-hand drive, which I once wrote in your blog, but, apparently, to the present day there is no single instance. Number two on the list stood early 965 first editions, with the characteristic "drops" on the front fenders.

These cars are more common, but almost everything I saw was in poor condition and poor condition. However, fortune still smiled upon us. In one of warm September days, I rested outside the city and nothing better to do, decided to look through the Bulletin Board on a popular website. In the list of suggestions — one of modern consumer goods, but some random here wormed announcement of the sale of "Hunchback." It was filed just a few minutes ago: a couple not very good photos of the dark garage and dry description without any specifics. However, as the first picture, I knew that this early in 965 with all his characteristic attributes. Immediately grab the phone and call seller to learn more about the condition and availability of documents and immediately offered to book a rarity for me. The person on the other end refuses, telling that he is a barrage of calls from all regions of Ukraine and he will give car to the person who first come with the money.

But the problem is I'm 300 km from Kiev, and the car in the Chernihiv region, 120 kilometers North of the capital. Gaining Ilya that we remove the project "time Capsule" and here after half an hour he rushes in the direction of Chernihiv, with very few 965-m from the first batch. And then everything is simple — put down a Deposit and two days later a tow truck took the car to Kiev, where he now is waiting for a comprehensive restoration.

So, we have the ZAZ-965, released at the beginning of 1961. Judging by the records that I found in the book of shipments of Zaporozhye automobile plant "Kommunar", this vehicle was implemented on 17 February 1961 using the store 932 organization Kievgorsvet in the capital of the Ukrainian SSR. The number of body — 1373, chassis 601280.

At the time of its appearance in 1960, "Zaporozhets" cost 18 000 pre-reform rubles — however, actually that year was only released a small batch of cars, mostly sold in the factories, subcontractors Zaza, the first commodity cars went on sale after the currency reform, the price of 1 800 rubles. According to legend, the price is determined as a total value of 1 000 bottles of vodka (at 1.80 rubles). With the average salary in the USSR at the beginning of 1960-ies, this value corresponds to approximately 20:1, that is, "Zaporozhets" you could buy about 20 of average wage in the country.

Machine life was in the hands of a single owner, who, to the best of their ability and skills, has kept this "Hump" to the present day. This man was very handy, as evidenced by the homemade "lugs" on the intakes and the complex system of additional oil cooling on the roof of the car.

As I wrote above, the car remained almost all the specific parts that were installed on 965-e the early version (about 1500-2000 of the first cars off the Assembly line).
Full sizethe Famous drop of the indexes of turns and the native key ignition
First of all, it "drops" indicators on the front wings (the wings — with a different radius of curvature): it is a rarity in these times. No less interesting are the original air receiver pads on the side of the body. The front is the inscription "Zaporozhets", crowned at the end of the zigzag stroke of lightning Aluminum rims of a door frame are joined, not under lock and key window and in the middle of the rear door.

On the hood here is the engine MeMZ-965 (air cooled) displacement 746 "cubes" and a capacity of only 23 Early HP motor easily recognized by the two bolts securing the valve cover. With this unit the maximum machine speed was 90 km/h and fuel consumption is 6.5 l/100 km.

It is noteworthy that this "Zaporozhets" it was late one instrument from the model 965A, which includes the pointer the oil temperature and the odometer has 6 digits. To our great joy, in one of the boxes with spare parts we found a native instrument KP-210 with a control lamp of emergency pressure alarm oil temperature.

The poop I have a question : ROM you do not know what it is ? Farm or modification of some kind ?
as for me — the most beautiful and concise Humpback, star and drop the turn signals gave zest

Saw the same Drive a few weeks ago in Nikolaev on fresh rooms. Remember, the series was VE...IN. The same color, the machine of the same series. In my native dye, with the droplets on the wings and boot lid of the first series. With mind seemed to be in completely original condition. I'm on various little things pay attention. I am very sorry that I didn't stop and didn't hurry. The machine stood about parkland and it is someone banal learned to move on. If you see her, be sure to come. Really noticed her condition!
But recovery is not far off!))

My first car! I remember exactly how she bought it and learned to ride!
The emotions — super!

duck we have not even started, it's so warm :)
You're the wildest nonsense
No offense, please, but you just don't understand the rarity of this car, so I decided to end the conversation...
But there were less than 5K :) This is not 965A, which is an assload, and not just 965 is 965 EARLY, and they were very little.
don't worry, in Russia and in other countries of the former USSR these early Zasov like mushrooms if you search, what you want condition enough to shovel the whole drive and Google and you will find such Zasov plenty in any condition at any price flavor, this is not what the realties of a single specimen, given that they were released at least 5K copies, with due perseverance to find such special work will not make
I was talking about our country, and not about Ukraine. In Ukraine, they are, naturally, more because they were produced. About the price is true. Given that early humpback was MUCH LESS than 10K, then Yes, "of course there" XD
www.drive2.ru/r/zaz/1395475 already found who wants to buy this will buy, at least this, though the one thing to be able to offer a price which the seller can not refuse, but personally I do not need it, I have my own rarity is enough, and such early humpback even if here drive to dig with 10K there, so this is not a rarity
Find unrealistic. I'll tell you that. A lot of trash, and these rarities is almost there.
I mean "buy" didn't say anything
easy to find, we have a lot of people sell these things for big money, but buy it I do not, I Zaporozhets at the price of us gold reserves is not necessary even if he has a chassis body and engine will be the No. 1
Well, try to find the same early plows in our country in the sale — and understand how it's rare compared to the late 965A, etc.
rare ZAZ 965 this which which the body of the No. 1 chassis No. 1 and engine No. 1 and it is consumer goods not the rarest :)
I will not write much, was the exhibition halls in Kharkiv Side to drive... just couldn't...
One man, Peter came to the hunchback ... People, think for 2000km in one direction... 😁
And the carb as I don't see it as quite late. In the early ZAZ 965 was set carburetors -К123. I was too, when the humpback .The VIN of course, I don't remember but I do remember that the carb was К123 and tiny air cleaner.The oil cooler was much more than released it's late, almost 3 times more. The generator was DC, and is very weak and the cooling fan driven hot air under the car and through the grill hood back. It was 40 years ago, it was my first car. Even a photo remained.
In the past you cannot go back — but it can be restored.Good luck and not only on the road.
Oh, damn it! Knife on any part of the body.
I had a ZAZ-965 a little later, in 1961 April, chassis 26хх, drops on top of the wings, already pop intakes with inclined slots, a different engine cover with the same fire back rooms, but with a rectangular ventilation grille, tightened netting. We are in 1998, stole it from the ferrous metal, straight from the press, under the title of the other ZAZ-965.
In an evil hour I sold a good friend, a great restorer of the Moskvich-427, 1969, still with the appearance of the 426-th (no regrets!). The buyer rushed to consider standing next to the early Cossack struck, the fuse... via summer called, offered to meet, and I invited him. A long time he climbed Zaporozhets, reviewed and checked all...
For the car without motor, without box and without papers he put me so much... that I could not refuse. And sorry now!
good luck in the restoration, Oh motorcar drink the blood and nerves with his short shaft but rather finding the sacks on him, a good patient although I personally early goriki in the original do not like too many children's diseases, by the way what's with the stove in the early fiction of EBN and was like your tank had no drain tube from the combustion chamber, otby to see this device)
without you you married :)

To each his own... some like life on bad roads to ride. For such roads, and tailor machine...
I watched the video, and after a long time met at the exhibition it is this, the early Cossacks, and even restored . It is now possible to 10 cars to add another one .
PS even managed to touch him.

My traktorki — lawn mowers, a motor 722 cube — 22 horses:) not Even predstavlyayu as he could accelerate to 90 km/h:)
another transmission.
The radial width appeared in 1972 with the launch of the VAZ 2103 , they were called IA 170, as they were installed on VAZ 2102. Then in 1976 with the release of the car VAZ-2106 began to mount on them.

Can... But how it does it (C)
Well, all the same car and the lawn mower there is a difference. And designed Persik was at speed 40-60 km/h Then especially fast then and did not go On a diagonal... then tires... And such was not the purpose. Now every kid behind the wheel of newbeny Schumacher.
diagonalka and penny stood, and went not 90, radial began to put on the 06 and the Yaroslavl rubber was not ice.
there is a good oryginalna rubber Soviet times, Cossack, my friend in quantity of 4 rays per 1000 ... thou am interested in more info write to all insignias
Interesting car. You know, a lover., so he has 3 early. One of the first 500, the other two to 1000!
Awesome copy! After the restoration it just isn't! Gorgeous, look at my early top five
Something like that but not in that condition I saw at the local fair... all appliances such as living with a soul ...

completely different car. only the color is similar.
it happens, but it's another car in Lugansk rooms and with a different hood rear
Straight from the "Queen of the gas station". I was 62 years old, and many of the details were different. The gas pedal is suspended, for example.
The motor 23 is provided with another force main transmission ratio increased, the 5.7 like. After a strong 30 strong sad.
Amazing discovery
Roma-Urraco
the name faded, alas
As this is an early hood may be pleasing to the eye?
Great! If the people in coins, find the differences and value the rarity, it is a hobby, at least without a magnifying glass visible))) success!
While it was not the designers was the design. Appeared designers and where what happened.
Hi Roma,
I can share the book shipments of the Zaporozhye car factory "Communar"? They turned up the drive 965 Yalta, the documents are lost. You can't determine the year of issue. Maybe we can look in this book and are identified by the chassis number?
