1969 Zaporozhetz 965

1969 ZAZ 965 project car. This is an increasingly rare early ZAZ and would make an excellent restoration project for the right enthusiast.

The car is not running and will require significant restoration before returning to the road. It should be assumed that mechanical, electrical, bodywork, and interior work will all be needed. The interior is largely complete but shows its age, and the car is being sold strictly as a restoration project. It will need to be transported by trailer or recovery vehicle.

If you're looking for a ready-to-drive classic, this isn't it. If you're looking for a rare Soviet classic to restore, it's a fantastic starting point.

The ZAZ 965 is one of the most distinctive and charming cars ever produced behind the Iron Curtain. Nicknamed the "Hunchback" because of its unique rear profile, it has become an icon among Eastern European classics and is rarely seen in the UK.

Projects like this don't come along often. Its unmistakable styling, rear-mounted air-cooled engine, and fascinating history make it a rewarding restoration for someone who appreciates unusual classics. Once restored, it will be a real head-turner at classic car shows and always attracts attention from people who've never seen one before.

For the right buyer, this isn't just another restoration. It's the opportunity to preserve a rare piece of automotive history and bring a wonderfully quirky classic back to life.
