A classified ad has appeared on a trading platform in Izhevsk for the sale of a rare Soviet car — a black 1974 GAZ-13 "Chaika". The car, with a mileage of 71,005 km, has undergone a complete restoration and, according to the seller, is in excellent technical condition.
The GAZ-13 "Chaika" is one of the most prestigious Soviet cars, produced from 1959 to 1981. It is often compared to American models of those years due to its similar design and powerful engine. The total weight of the car is 2625 kg. Today, well-preserved specimens are valued by collectors, and prices for them can reach several million rubles. The price of the car listed in the ad is 12,350,000 rubles.
This specimen has preserved original elements: the console with a clock and radio, as well as chrome interior details. Under the hood is a V-shaped 5.5-liter engine with a capacity of 220 hp, working in tandem with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The interior features options that were rare for its time: air conditioning and power steering. The seller emphasizes that the car is fully ready for operation.
