but after the 1956 the production was transferred to Ulyanovsk and the
vehicle was renamed to UAZ-69. Total of more than 600 000 units were built,
including different variants, main of which were GAZ-69 (2-door, 8-seat)
and GAZ-69A (4-door, 5-seat). GAZ-69 vehicles (the other name for them
was "Truzhenik" - "Toiler") were exported into 56
countries and got the reputation of being reliable and hardy. Many of
them are still in use in Russia and other countries.
for implementing my own ideas (I hope that the pure restoration enthusiasts
won't blame me too hard). I dreamed about purchasing it for a long time
and the dream came true in late 1999. My "gazon" was built
in 1963. Almost forty years of intensive use didn't make it any healthier,
so it will take a lot of labor to get my "Toiler" really off-road
capable again. Any results will be reported.
