A 71-year-old “elephant” Is Sold In The Russian City Of Saratov For One Million Rubles

The advertisement for selling the car was posted on a free advertising site

What is meant is the Moskvich-401 car, which has undergone a comprehensive restoration.

It is noteworthy that “Moskvich-401” looks like a new car after undergoing a comprehensive restoration. The seller said in the advertisement that the car had not been involved in any accidents, and that the number of kilometers it had traveled was 97,899 km, which is considered not a large distance for a 71-year-old car. Its engine capacity is 1.1 liters, and its rear-wheel drive system. The car had only three owners, according to registration documents.

This model was produced in 1954 at the Moscow Small Car Plant. The car received several popular nicknames, including “The Humpback” and “The Elephant” because of its distinctive gray color, and “The Humpback” was forgotten in retrospect because this title was later acquired by the “Zaporozhets” model, which the automobile factory in the city of Zaporozhye began producing.

The Moskvich-401 was designed based on the German-made Opel car model that was produced in the period before World War II.

The car is currently kept in the village of Ust-Kordium, Saratov Province, Russia, and its initial price is 990 thousand rubles.

– Engine: 1.1 liter, 4 cylinder, 26 horsepower,
