Get yourself a nice Gaz-12 ZIM! One of few in the US, for sure. I know of only one other.
Now wait a minute, Dogapult, you say. Are you telling me I can buy a Soviet classic like that in the USA?
Yes.

(The ad is off about it being the only one, though)
Here are some screenshots of the ad for the future, just in case it dies.

Also, if you’re interested in this car, I have connections for spares. It actually looks in really good condition. just needs the steering wheel replaced (which is available, $500, but available) and a good clean.

I believe these actually had a variant of the Chrysler flathead, good rugged engine; smooth, too.

Mmm. I love old Soviet cars.
I really want a GAZ-13 Chaika.

Gaz 13 Chaikas are among the most expensive of the “upper class” Gaz’s.
You can get a nice Gaz 12 ZIM for about $23,000, at last finding in Ukraine.

You can get a nice Gaz 14 Chaika for about $25,000.

But a 13 Chaika is easily into the $30,000 range before you’re getting anything decent. I found a ratty one for $26,000 once.

Swapping the V8 from a Chaika would be interesting, but I feel like the standard SBC or LS would be below a car like this.

What about a 1UZ-FE?

Maybe a classic Firepower 392, or a Desoto V8 or something.
