Starting ZAZ 966 After 10 Years

[@marc7505]

I was born and raised in East-Germany. My grandfather used to have a Saporoshez like this in red. Beside many design flaws I remember it was a rather smooth ride -and I loved the air intakes on the sides. What an iconic car!

The ZAZ V4 engine is one of the greatest engines I've had pleasure to see in action. We've had a Luaz 969 and it was a beast in offroad. The engine was the same as here and it was so convenient, you could've pulled it out easily and without a crane, just get it home to do some repairs and then put it back just as easy. It didn't have turbos, too much wires or anything fancy, no hundreds of HP, but it was just enough. The simplicity of the cars based in former Soviet Union was just unbelievable and they really served their purposes to the full. I know many people won't understand it if they lived in the "Western" part of the world, but this brute simplicity worked in the environment it was supposed to be in.

According to wikipedia, many of these were used as invalid carriages. This was the first thing I thought when I saw the engine - Hubnut's Invacar. The ZAZ 966 was in production 1966 - 1971, followed by the 968, an almost identical car, which also had many sold as invalid carriages. I'd imagine Hubnut would love to own one of these V4 air cooled oddities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZAZ_Zaporozhets#ZAZ-966

My father had the same car in 1970. It was the cheapest car to buy in Austria back then (in Austria it was called "Eliette"). According to my father the gasoline driven heater used more fuel than the engine itself, but it worked very fine after all. He constantly had problems with the thermostats, which regulated the airflow to the engines, killing it after a short period. So he got a new engine for free. Shortly after that, the Sapaoroshez was history (and so its brand new engine) because he rolled it several times....

[@marguskiis7711]

The termostats were useless, usually they were made unfuctional and just kept valves open all the time.
