A unique example of the Soviet automotive industry has been put up for sale in the village of Dobrovolnoye, Stavropol Territory — a GAZ-21 "Volga" sedan from 1959. The car has traveled only 5,000 km, has not changed owners for 66 years and is in almost factory condition, which makes it a real rare find for collectors.
Judging by the photos presented, the car has not been restored: chrome, paintwork and interior elements have been preserved in their original form. The car is fully complete and in running order.
The modification belongs to the first generation of GAZ-21, produced from 1956 to 1970.
Under the hood is a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 75 hp, aggregated with a 3-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The car is painted in blue, has an original vehicle title.
The seller estimates the car at an amount comparable to the cost of a new Lada Iskra in the basic configuration with air conditioning. It is specified that the car is in running order.
The unique technical and external condition makes this GAZ-21 not only a collectible value, but also a "time capsule" demonstrating the preserved aesthetics and engineering solutions of the late 1950s.
