I don’t have any info about this rare bus. It most likely remained just an exper­i­men­tal pro­to­type. It seems its based on ZIS-150 truck.

This is much improved ver­sion of GAZ-24–10.  These pic­tures are made by me and the car belonged to my father for a short amount of time. It has dri­ven about 100 000 km but looks like new.

This truck was designed in the begin­ning of 1960’s. It was designed to with­stand dif­fic­tult con­di­tions in Siberia, Urals and far east and north­ern ter­ri­to­ries of Soviet Union. Its also able to cross water and its able to con­trol its tire pres­sure, equipped with air clean­ing sys­tems and has 4,5 kw elec­tric engine to pump water (in case of fire) and it also has radio trans­mis­sion capabilities.

Pro­duced 1964 — 1970.  This is KGB ver­sion of GAZ-M-21. Russ­ian secret ser­vice needed a fast car to for exam­ple escord GAZ-M-13 Chaika lim­ou­sines. None of the exist­ing machines were able to match its speed so a new car had to be cre­ated. So GAZ-M-21 was matched with Chaika engine and the result was the fastest pro­duc­tion car at that time. Total 603 units were pro­duced andof course it wasn’t avail­able to pri­vate buyers.

The car had even worse hangling than orig­i­nal Volga and the engine was clearly too heavy. Thats the rea­son the car wore out very quickly and since it couldn’t be sold to pri­vate buy­ers its now­days extremely rate. In this page is a list of sur­vived GAZ-M-23 cars (scroll down).
