A rare minibus "Start" based on GAZ has been put up for sale.
A unique Soviet "Start" for almost 30 million rubles is connected to the history of the automotive industry in Nizhny Novgorod. A rare "Start" minibus from 1968 has been put up for sale in Russia. The model is based on the legendary "Volga" GAZ-21, which was produced in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). This is one of the rarest cars of the Soviet automotive industry. A total of about 150 such minibuses were produced from 1963 to 1970. The "Start" model was based on the chassis of the "Volga" GAZ-21 — a car that was mass-produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant. This fact connects the rare minibus to Nizhny Novgorod, where the engineering base was formed and key components were produced. According to the seller, the presented specimen is in perfect condition and has minimal mileage — only 250 kilometers. The price of the car is 29.5 million rubles. The minibus features an original fiberglass body, which made it complex and expensive to produce. This is why the model never became mass-produced. Today, such cars are considered a collectible rarity and are of interest to connoisseurs of Soviet automotive history, closely linked to Nizhny Novgorod. Source: wroom.ru Photo: wroom.ru
