It’s a soviet era car Lada Riva. They were made from 73-2011 and they barely changed in design. This one has a LS7 in it, according to https://roguemechanic.tumblr.com

It looks exactly like something from the cold war era.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis is not Australian, it is Russian built, with a Russian engine (a petrol V8 out of some truck). It's been built by Garage 54, they have a pretty cool youtube channel if you wanna check it out.
A huge thank you for all the knowledge and fun you bring through your blog, I've been reading it for years. Best wishes and best of luck in those troubled times. Take care and keep up the awesomeness !

Thanks! I went with the info from the source of the photo... they got that about as wrong as they could!
DeleteI corrected it now thanks to you, and added a couple videos and a link to a decent article about it
You're very welcome ! I'm happy if I could help a little bit and contribute to your awesome blog. Thank you for all you do, I love wasting time on here instead of doing what I should do, I learn plenty of things !

It's like a Russian version of Roadkill, except the Russians put some effort into making the car look good.
