Thank you for sharing the story of your grandfather and his beloved car. I love Soviet cars, my friend had a Lada in Canada, and my Grandfather had 3 Belarus farm tractors, and a Romanian Universal tractor. I also have a friend who immigrated to Canada from the USSR back in 1992 or so. Lovely, everyday people. Thank you Andre, for being so likeable
Great video! 👍 we drove one back in 80 with white steering wheel. This car was made to last for 100 years. Simple design, easy fix. There used to be a Russian man from Brooklyn with black Volga21 in perfect condition.
……which almost NObody would watch. It’s a neat car because it was his grandfather’s. But otherwise I wouldn’t waste the 1/2 gallon of gasoline it would take to set it on fire.
There's a guy in Atlanta that has one with a 3.0 liter Toyota 4Runner drive train. So surprise they're hard to find parts for in the States. I've always loved Soviet Cars. They're interesting.
Many years ago I had a Lada 1500 (Riva) that I loved,the car was tough as nails. Even though they were pretty commonplace back in the 1980’s to early 1990’s here in Canada. We had all kinds of Eastern Block stuff back then from Skodas to Dacias, but now they are impossible to find. Thanks for sharing your Volga and the UAZ 452 (buhanka) with us…
My great granduncle used to drive this model in black color in 1960s. There were around 3 such model driven by nobilities in Addis Ababa. He used to drive from Wolayta in South Ethiopia to Addis 380km at night. It was powerful and comfortable even on gravel roads.
What a cool ride. I can see it lowered a little with some nice wheels an wider tires. I’d leave everything else the same. Love the sun burnt paint; just put clear coat on it. It would fit right into my car club; we are appropriately named “Push Rods”.
This is poor form in behalf of @TFLclassics with all the time and effort Andre puts in they should do a budget series on restoring the bodywork and interior on the GAZ-21! Sorry to hear you have to let your classic car dream go Andre! Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
@@andresmirnov3940 It'll probably take someone like yourself with a personal tie to such a car to purchase it. I think its a sweet car. For $9500, its competitive with a lot of other classics, and maybe a pretty good deal for something that unique here in the states. Might be hated on because of the CCCP association...but I doubt it. Most car guys wont care where it was made. I love Ural motorcycles, despite their ties to the current Russian regime.
@@raycecil4643literally no one cares, stop. "Russian regime ties" what is this, 1970? America has killed millions of civilians in this century and started dozens of conflicts
The engine is more valuable standalone for those handful of collectors who want 100% OEM, and very much less valuable if someone wants to drive the car with confidence. It's also not a particularly unique or capable engine so it's not like the "soul" of the car is lost by swapping
Believe me back then it was not pumpy ride back there. They were alphas taking their time smoking and chilling. Not beta toxic men, they did not need 1000 hp to prove themselfs.
This car with no rust is a holy grail of today's restomod trend. Swap the engine by 1-UZ, GAZ 3110 front suspension Volvo rear axle with traction bar and put modern HVAC
Should probably stay away from ancient, foreign, classics unless your pockets are very deep, and you have time and/or a resource to work on it. I coul dnever do it, nor would I want to.

Why is it not for sale on TFL Bids?
We are rebooting TFLbids... again.
Growing up in Poland in 70s and 80s these were all over the place. I think it’s amazing what finds it’s way across the pond. Good luck selling it.
TFL should restore this for a video series, see if you can get some sponsors to help and then drive it to all the states.
Great video! 👍 we drove one back in 80 with white steering wheel. This car was made to last for 100 years. Simple design, easy fix. There used to be a Russian man from Brooklyn with black Volga21 in perfect condition.
Vlad from garage 54 could hook that Volga up.
Bring back the TFL classics podcast, we need breakfast and hardbodys
You are spot on.
Sorry to see this go. TFL should have made this into a restoration series. Something pretty uniqe and interesting instead of the regular content.
……which almost NObody would watch. It’s a neat car because it was his grandfather’s. But otherwise I wouldn’t waste the 1/2 gallon of gasoline it would take to set it on fire.
There is Volga in Queens NY. Volga body mounted on BMW chassis. Dark blue, very nice looking car.
I’m thinking Andre found out what it would cost to restore the car and was like it’s time to sell

Why are you not selling it on TFL's car auction site? TFL Bids.

@@andresmirnov3940 Thank you for the direct reply andre. This was a honor to get a direct response from you.

I saw a lot of those, and other Soviet cars, in Cuba. You would find them there.
He is asking $9500 for this on Marketplace, FYI
Yes, the current asking price is $9,500. It's mainly a break-even point.

Very nice presentation of a beautiful car.
Andre, I hope you get a good price for the Volga and it finds a good owner.
Thank you!
That is a weird three on the tree pattern compared to the old fords I am used to
Why would you keep the original engine but sell the car? Most people would do the opposite thing...
The engine is more valuable standalone for those handful of collectors who want 100% OEM, and very much less valuable if someone wants to drive the car with confidence.
It's also not a particularly unique or capable engine so it's not like the "soul" of the car is lost by swapping
If nobody wants the original engine, I was thinking about turning it into a coffee table.
I have a fascination for Soviet cars and Volga is one of my favourites.
You can buy it.
@@andresmirnov3940 Too much work needed on this one.
Tough ole boots that never rust and go on for ever!
Can you imagine that thing with an LS V-8 in it???
Better panel gaps than a Tesla.🤪
Believe me back then it was not pumpy ride back there. They were alphas taking their time smoking and chilling. Not beta toxic men, they did not need 1000 hp to prove themselfs.
This junk fits u perfectly
Mistake Kama is longest river not Volga 😅
I would have no idea how to price this car...
Nice shiny gloss to the red paint. lol
Now you can afford cruise control for your Colorado.
Yes!
This car with no rust is a holy grail of today's restomod trend. Swap the engine by 1-UZ, GAZ 3110 front suspension Volvo rear axle with traction bar and put modern HVAC
Its a cool looking car.
It’s like a reverse Cuban car, eastern bloc car with American engine instead of the other way around.
I have one Gaz m21 from 1963.
Priwet from Lahr/Schwarzwald, Kasachstan 🇩🇪
Why not try Doug DeMuro’s Cars and Bids? It is a unique car.
They limit models to 1980s and up.
TFL Bids dead?
A couch designed for making out. Who said Soviet cars lack creature comforts? 😅
perfect for Cuba
Вот блин, сейчас идиоты с русского ютуба набегут пиариться...
Путинисты😂
Perfect for Jay Leno
Jay has one
Супер тачка! ❤
It's not pretty, but it's cool 😎
Woah
Original color of this car is black
Do you have Russian or Ukrainian origin?
I was born in Moscow.
Shitty russian excuse of a car....but i love the design it just looks awesome!
ok car.

Sorry but your car doesn't look anything like a ford anglia witch was in harry poter apart from round head lights
Like every thing from Russia it’s a piece of junk🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🧐just knowing!!!
Das vidanya, old car....
Досвидания😂
