Very nice! Now you need to get a Lada Niva and go four wheeling with Tommy in his Jeep. Very entertaining videos, I enjoy your stories. As immigrants, from Italy to Honduras, I can relate to them, thank you.
@@XxCrankyMoosexX Wish you the best in finding one. I also love them, lever operated locking diff, must be awesome offroaders and no nonsense electronics, just like Tommy likes them, by the way, I love his plain jane Jeep Willys.
Very cool look. With some new paint this could be a real head turner. A deep high gloss black or maybe a candy apple red? The GM 3.8L engine was used for a very long time and as such there are a tremendous number of upgrades available for it. You will probably be able to create any power level you want in this motor
Decades ago, I had a Lada 1500 (otherwise known as a VAZ 2103) and loved it. Up here in Canada Lada’s were imported from about 1980 through to about 1994 or so. We never got any other Russian cars, but we did get some Czech Skodas 120 L (Estelle overseas) and some Dacia 1310 models (an old Renault 12 copy) in the 1980’s. I would love to find another Lada like my old car or a Niva to enjoy the simple fun that these cars can provide. Hopefully you can get your GAZ up and running, so you can enjoy some trips down memory lane.
I wasn't aware that GAZ was part of the world trading partners association,... Volga model Gaz, Buick engine, Ford rear axel, and now parked at what a German Auto repair shop, Stay tuned ( I guess ) to see what else Andre has in store for us, and this car. Great stuff Andre! Thanks to Roman too for that joke at the end!
That's nothing... There are some YT videos about the "Frankencars" mechanics end doing in today's Cuba with parts (even body ones) of different makes and years (if it can be made to fit, it would be put there...).
I'm getting to the age where I have more and more interest in getting a vehicle from my childhood. My Grandfather had some relatively interesting (we are talking about the 1980's mind you) vehicles and liked to get new stuff fairly often. He had a 1984 Datsun Maxima wagon which was pretty neat in that it had the Z's L24 inline 6. My favorite thing was the talking warning chimes it would play: "door is ajar" or "key is in the ignition." Haven't seen a rwd Maxima in probably 20 years, so those are probably scarce.
That's pretty awesome that Andre found a childhood car he remembers and has stories about riding in it. Looking forward to seeing more about it. It's kind of an interesting car. Was the Ford rear end factory or was that replaced when it came to the U.S?
I love Andrei's enthusiasm when presenting this car. Funy enough, I saw this cars on the road during my childhood in a (undisclosed) Eastern-block country.
WOW very nice, anytime I see an older car from my childhood (60's) the interior smell brings back so many memories. Must have been something they made the interiors with because they all have the same smell. Great find Andrea. 👍🏻
2:21 the steel is 1.2mm thick for the most part, which is considerably thicker than the ~0.8mm steel in today's cars. Unfortunately it is not galvanized so it rusts freely. And the inner crevices do not come covered with an anti-corrosion coating (like wax), you had to do that yourself.
Actually GAZ-21 Volga was a Soviet movie superstar. It was one of main characters in extremely popular old Soviet comedies like 'Brilliantovaya Ruka' ('A Diamond Hand') or 'Beregis' Avtomobilya' ('Watch out for a car').
Andre I think it is original red paint colour due to being painted on the inside doors (bright red) engine bay etc.. that would be a lot of work of stripping the whole entire car for a repaint. I’m thinking also at one point the car came from Cuba? Due to engine swapping and very faded red paint. Didn’t Soviet Union exported cars and fire arms to Cuba during the crisis? Just a thought.
Volga was a popular Taxi car here in the -60´s with original 4 cylinder engine. That year Volga is model GAZ-21, zero to 100 kmh 29 seconds, top speed 127 kmh.
Buick V6 looks awesome inside, I've swapped mine with a Russian V8 and it barely fits) car has to be fully repainted, they weren't red and all factory black cars actually had grey dashboard, door panels and seats
These normally came with a 4 cylinder engine. Special editions came with a V8 from Chaika. Buick engine has been installed here and way better powerplant than the og.
I work at a inner city hospital and each day we are dealing with covid and inner city violence. Thank you Andre and Roman for putting a smile on my face and starting my day with a deep laugh, before heading back in.
Too bad Ivan from Pine Hollow Diagnostics isn't closer to you guys. That would be a perfect episode series of Ivan fixing up this car for you since he is Russian.
With everything that’s going on in the world today, it’s stuff like this that reminds me I still love Russian/Soviet history and culture, and cars are a magical device that brings people together. Andre is one of the funniest car dudes out there and the fast lane series has become my new top gear for me. I’m excited to see this car running!
Looking forward to seeing it restored, fixed, and running! Old cars just have a different kind of charm. Old, obscure (to my less-than-knowledgeable mind) cars? That's just gold. Also the music and editing on this is phenomenal.
André, if that’s not the original color, they did a very detailed job. Door jams, inside the engine bay etc. Also, those taillights look suspiciously MGB. I’m so happy for you. Going for a Zil next? Or maybe a nice Tatra?
I just want to know why Roman is always the one pushing the cars when you got those young guys with you, But love the videos they have come a long way from having Nathan jumping in the trunks of cars keep up the great work that you all are doing.
I love this. So cool and unusual. Also in this episode we find out that Andre's family was rich as heck. I have a feeling that car might have been white too.
Try to 3d print that knob in carbon plastic. And André, you got a real treasure here, do it up right and respectfully... And 5 grand is CHEAP, these restored go for 20-35.000€(euro). Have looked in Germany but they are out of my financial reach living in a Scandinavian country...
Very nice car! I had the 3.8l engine in a Oldsmobile Starfire and it has enough power for actual traffic. Only 125 HP but a lot of torque. Love this early 1950's style!
Congratulations Andre 🙂 the.. aging wheels.. you tube channel is someone you might want to get in touch with he is very interested in "unique" cars and may be helpful 😃
Once again Roman is the work horse, thanks Roman for showing the superior strength of middle age over the baby youth. Many "Russian" vehicles have parts from other manufactures or copied parts and that helps for getting some parts. I hope she runs great and you get some good offroad tires on her to take it in the desert offroad. Enjoy your childhood memories. Maybe you can get your 3.8 stroked and built up so you get a lot more horsey power. Stay safe and healthy.
The body of these Gaz/Volga car(s) stood the test of time much better then many western made cars... They took the " bult like a tank " phrase to the next level
We had these in Romania as well. We also had the Moskvitch as well. Roman, back in the day when I was in the Romanian military, we have pushed a T55 tank, because the battery was to weak to start the tank. We were like 24 people that pushed it, on grass. It started.
great video Andre/Roman, A soviet car Roman powered,LOL, nice car Andre, I had a Russian co worker back in the late 70's early 80's that talked about Volga's and he was from the Ukraine just outside of Kiev, as kid they would hide and throw snowballs at them and run like hell to hide not to be found 😂 he said his first Ford he bought in here in Canada was not as strong steel, although it was much more reliable in his eyes, that Buick 231 cubic inch or 3.8 litre V6 that is in your car was used that exact forming the early 80's and super reliable and great cold starting engines and cheap to fix and you can still get parts for them, great car from a great era 👍 I look forward to future videos on your T34 Comrade 😎
2:16 The car was black originally. You can tell because the A-pillar cover in the interior is black. These sheet metal covers are painted the same color as the car. At least they were on my green GAZ 24 Volga.
Cool, the old "Gulag Taxi" It kind of needs to be painted black like in the urban legend. It is interesting those cars, Volga 21 and UAZ Buhanka are also on my dream list.
Поздравляю с покупкой. Туда бы small block chevy или hemi, механическую трансмиссию hurst и задний мост dana 60 или ford 9. Ну и кузов по низу усилить чтобы крутящий момент выдержал.
This is nice, and don't be fooled people, these are not cheap... Restore this to near original only put on nicer wheels and trim it with leather inside. GNX swap and Wilwood brakes, this will be a lot of fun, but it will be great either way. A little jealous now André.. Playing the worlds absolute best national anthem was pure class, The Hunt for Red October anyone?(one of the best movies ever made?)
👍. I was born in Taiwan, and really wanted the cars that my dad owned, Ford Cortina mk3, Nissan Cedric 2.0L v6, VW Squaredback, and Finally his dream car was a Ford Granada Ghia 2.8L. I can seem to find European Ford in America. Ford Capri and Maverick were somewhat similar.
Watching Roman push Andre in a car with the Russian music playing has to be the best moment ever in TFL. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
Not just any Russian music, but the National Anthem of the Soviet Union (there's a full filmed with English-translated subtitles version on YT from a TV1 sign-off full with a TURN OFF THE TV SET NOW caption at the end).
"Then I will live in Montana... And I will have a pickup truck" - Vasily Borodin

It is a dream! Thank you for all the support.
I just watched that movie a few weeks ago. Great movie, great line. Vasily inquires about needing papers to travel state to state in America.
@@TFLtruck Welcome to the new world.
The Hunt For Red October if anyone wants to know the movie this line is from.
Yes, of course, a Czech pushing a Russian's car. Now, where's that like button.
For whatever reason your comment brought to mind the movie "15 minutes" 😀
If you know of a good way to decode a Volga serial number and check to see which color it was originally - please let me know.
I'm not sure it's possible. I know that there should be a sticker (in the trunk?) with color, and there could be original paint from factory in small jar (which I don't think you have).
But there's a lot of fans of this generation in Russia. I'd say it's nearly impossible to find old data for EACH factory number's color ). One clue where to find - Yandex Zen, there's a guy with channel called "Mashina" (car in Russian), Nikolay Markov his name. He had some historical papers from GAZ (If I'm not wrong), I'm sure he can tell more of the story based on "VIN" (which actually is just a factory number here, production one).
The covers on the A-pillars in the interior are often painted the same color as the car.
Depending on how the car was re-painted you might be able to pull back the headliner to reveal some original paint.
The area behind the headliner is not painted but does have some over-spray from the factory painting process.
You can also sand back the red paint to reveal the original paint.
But i'm not aware of any way to decode the serial number, i think it was stamped just as the cars rolled off the assembly line without any hidden info.
There is no color code in serial number, you will have to check for hidden areas
"I know it's vulgar, but what kind of car is it?"
@@raypurchase801 "who are you quoting?"
Very nice! Now you need to get a Lada Niva and go four wheeling with Tommy in his Jeep. Very entertaining videos, I enjoy your stories. As immigrants, from Italy to Honduras, I can relate to them, thank you.
I want a Lada Niva so bad. So much so I’ve looked into buying a 90’s import.

Wish you the best in finding one. I also love them, lever operated locking diff, must be awesome offroaders and no nonsense electronics, just like Tommy likes them, by the way, I love his plain jane Jeep Willys.
Moved from Italy to Honduras ? Wow…
Andres passion for cars is why this channel is successful.
Very cool look. With some new paint this could be a real head turner. A deep high gloss black or maybe a candy apple red? The GM 3.8L engine was used for a very long time and as such there are a tremendous number of upgrades available for it. You will probably be able to create any power level you want in this motor
That will definitely stand out at cars and coffee! I can't wait for a Lada Niva to be added to the channel.
Hy! In Romania if you saw a Volga you know that somebody is in trouble. Nice vid ! Glad to see one !

You can always import one
I wasn't aware that GAZ was part of the world trading partners association,... Volga model Gaz, Buick engine, Ford rear axel, and now parked at what a German Auto repair shop,
Stay tuned ( I guess ) to see what else Andre has in store for us, and this car.
Great stuff Andre! Thanks to Roman too for that joke at the end!

I must say this brought a smile to my face, seeing andre so happy is memorable, the USSR anthem helped it
Loved the intro! Love these rare Russian vehicles we don't get in the states, more of this please 😁
I am genuinely happy for Andre. The likability of all of you on TFL is the key to all of the success you have had.
I'm getting to the age where I have more and more interest in getting a vehicle from my childhood. My Grandfather had some relatively interesting (we are talking about the 1980's mind you) vehicles and liked to get new stuff fairly often.

I'm not. They were shite, unless you're looking at an E type.
Thumbs up if you want the next Russian vehicle to be a T-34.
Or the Buran…
Which one, T34-85 or T34-76?? 😁
How about a mig 15
I'd take a ural... And that's about it... An old mig would be fun though
That's pretty awesome that Andre found a childhood car he remembers and has stories about riding in it.
Looking forward to seeing more about it. It's kind of an interesting car. Was the Ford rear end factory or was that replaced when it came to the U.S?
The rear axle was replaced later. The original axle still comes with the car (separately).
My grandfather owned GAZ 21 for years and then GAZ 24. I still remember what it smelled like.
Very cool!
I love Andrei's enthusiasm when presenting this car. Funy enough, I saw this cars on the road during my childhood in a (undisclosed) Eastern-block country.
WOW very nice, anytime I see an older car from my childhood (60's) the interior smell brings back so many memories. Must have been something they made the interiors with because they all have the same smell. Great find Andrea. 👍🏻
I had to laugh listening to Andre pant and gasp steering while Roman was pushing, classic, can’t wait to see more comrades lol.
Comrade Andre will be a great series, well done!
Good for Andre! He seldom gets so excited. It should give him a lifetime of joy and fond memories.
Love hearing about these stories from Andre!
Roman has to stop going places with people with odd foreign cars he always ends up pushing
What a great episode. Love hearing all the old stories.
2:21 the steel is 1.2mm thick for the most part, which is considerably thicker than the ~0.8mm steel in today's cars.
Unfortunately it is not galvanized so it rusts freely.
And the inner crevices do not come covered with an anti-corrosion coating (like wax), you had to do that yourself.
What a really cool project, I really hope to see more on it's progress.
Adding the Russian anthem was good touch Andre . And getting the boss to push, congratulations !

Awesome, Andre! Now you need the UAZ jeep, or maybe a ZIL off road truck!
The added music is GREAT! Good luck with the car Andre.

I loved everything on this video, the car ,the soviet music, and the friendship between Roman and Andre.
Dos Vedanya Comrade! Enjoy your toy Andre"! I'm happy for ya!
I think that TFL needs to start a new video series. It would be called "What can Roman push?"
Reminds me of the Trabants from East Germany when I was stationed in Berlin in the 80's. That thing is the coolest death trap around.
A Trabi would be a lot easier to push though.
I work at a inner city hospital and each day we are dealing with covid and inner city violence. Thank you Andre and Roman for putting a smile on my face and starting my day with a deep laugh, before heading back in.

Agreed. It would be so rare to have this be an original color.
If your parents drove one of these in the soviet-era, your parents were probably apparatchiks or worked for the KGB. Not a car for normal people.
Scientist would get it too, also soviets could win it in a lottery
@@volhv1973 C'mon.... look at Andrey, they were no scientists! (just a joke, sorry guys)
Great video. New subscriber. I would love to daily drive a GAZ.
Neat! Always a surprise. Thanks for posting.
If someone did a color change on this car they did a thorough job.
Yes. The red is in the engine bay and some interior areas.
Jay Leno have one…Great video 👍
I better like generations that grow up with the ВАЗ-2101 Жигули like I did 😉😁
It’s beautiful. The chrome is beautiful. The lacquer can be buffed. Awesome.

It's **perfect** ! Greetings from Prague, CZ
Very nice car! I had the 3.8l engine in a Oldsmobile Starfire and it has enough power for actual traffic. Only 125 HP but a lot of torque. Love this early 1950's style!
Andre, Your first review should be you driving it all the way back to the homeland and flying back. The red color is Krasni, something beautiful!
слава ГАЗ!! 🙂 As a basic Russian language diy student and fan of your videos and web content; I'm
loving the car. Great project Andre 👍. Ahoj Roman😉.
10:17
My 1942 Dodge 3 window coupe has the same covers over the keyholes, that was nothing new in the late 1960s!
Absolutely awesome.
Love the old Russian vehicles, I know they are not perfect, but really liked spotting them when I go over there
I would see these from time to time as a kid in cold war Poland. I remember them being black. The model I remember is the GAZ 24.
I just love André's emotional enthousiasm.
Cool car. Loved the joke at the end. If covid continues, we'll be saying the same thing!
i am waiting for a lada niva :) hope never dies
I think a full restoration is in order
Congratulations Andre 🙂 the.. aging wheels.. you tube channel is someone you might want to get in touch with he is very interested in "unique" cars and may be helpful 😃
The stories and jokes are priceless!
Once again Roman is the work horse, thanks Roman for showing the superior strength of middle age over the baby youth.

Wow, RUclips had impeccable timing suggesting this video to me lol
I remember that car! There was a few around my neighborhood. Wery cool Andre!
I was hoping for a Chaika, but a Volga is also pretty sweet. Best of luck, Andre!!
He is so excited 😂 love it that's a great find man
Classic! Wish list for the channel: Lada Niva, Trabant sedan & wagon, ZIL Limo, a Moscvich, and a ZAZ 968. When can we expect TFL Sovetsky?

I still have my childhood car. It’s a 1994 Dodge Shadow. My mom bought it in 1996 when I was 10 years old.
The ГАЗ Волга has always been a favorite of mine and always dreamed of owning one someday
I grew up in a green VW Polo and we drove it all over mountains of Taiwan with a family of 5.
Love Soviet Era everything, so fascinating! Excited for the coming restoration!
great video Andre/Roman, A soviet car Roman powered,LOL, nice car Andre, I had a Russian co worker back in the late 70's early 80's that talked about Volga's and he was from the Ukraine just outside of Kiev, as kid they would hide and throw snowballs at them and run like hell to hide not to be found 😂 he said his first Ford he bought in here in Canada was not as strong steel, although it was much more reliable in his eyes, that Buick 231 cubic inch or 3.8 litre V6 that is in your car was used that exact forming the early 80's and super reliable and great cold starting engines and cheap to fix and you can still get parts for them, great car from a great era 👍

If said coworker was from Ukraine, then he wasn’t Russian lol.
2:16 The car was black originally.
You can tell because the A-pillar cover in the interior is black.
These sheet metal covers are painted the same color as the car.
At least they were on my green GAZ 24 Volga.
I would like to own a Lada Niva.
There’s a guy in Douglasville ga who has two of these. A 2 door and a 4 door. The 4 door is white and turquoise.
Cool, the old "Gulag Taxi" It kind of needs to be painted black like in the urban legend. It is interesting those cars, Volga 21 and UAZ Buhanka are also on my dream list.
The Buick LD5 was a great little motor!

Fantastic Andre is making is boss work.
It would be cool to get the original 2.5L running and maybe put it into an old jeep or alternative vehicle.
Legend has his mom bought the car in 1969 but they just made it to the top of the list for delivery.
