A unique offer has appeared on the secondary market — in St. Petersburg, the legendary Soviet ZiS 101 limousine produced in 1939 is up for sale. The car does not require repairs, the listing states.
The car is in good preserved condition.
Under the hood is a 5.8-liter gasoline engine producing 110 horsepower. The engine and gearbox are from GAZ. The car's mileage is 111,111 kilometers. Over its entire lifetime, the automobile has had only two owners, and the last owner has been using it for more than six and a half years already.
The car has new-format documents, and the original vehicle passport is available. The transport tax will amount to 3,850 rubles per year. The price of the legendary automobile is 16.2 million rubles.
The ZiS-101 was produced at the Moscow Stalin Plant from 1936 to 1941. For its time, the automobile was a genuine technological breakthrough: it received a cabin heater, a radio receiver, a thermostat in the cooling system, a two-chamber carburetor, and even vacuum boosters for the clutch and brakes. The gearbox is three-speed, for the first time with synchronizers in second and third gears. The suspension is dependent, on longitudinal leaf springs, and the brakes are drum brakes with mechanical actuation.
