Equipment
2445/95hp four, 4-speed manual, wheel covers, radio, tool kit, owner's manual.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Fully restored, very good paint, brightwork and panel alignment, the underbody is aged and greasy, the interior has been redone, however some parts appear original. An interesting Soviet automobile that looks good from a distance but needs a few items addressed.
Market commentary
Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ) built this car, officially known as the GAZ-24 Volga. It sold from 1970-85 as Russia’s premiere luxury sedan. It has some clear American inspiration in its lines, part Ford and part Plymouth depending on what part of the car you look at. Neither fast nor advanced, it was nevertheless something of a status symbol in Russia, partly by virtue of its size, and partly because when it was introduced, you had to have a special-use permit to own one. Is it collectible? Depends on who you ask, and maybe you have to be a bit eccentric to want it, but this one probably couldn't have hoped for money than it brought here in Amelia.
