UAZ-469

UAZ-469B

Pro­duced 1972–1985. UAZ-469 is mil­i­tary ver­sion with higher ground clear­ance, UAZ-469B is reg­u­lar ver­sion. UAZ-469 is by far the most famous UAZ and even one of the most famous Russ­ian cars.

UAZ-469 replaced GAZ-69. The main advan­tages of new car were that it was built very sim­ple mean­ing that it was reali­able and also very easy to fix. Also it was able to go through any kind of ter­rain. It was (and still is) leg­endary because of its reli­a­bil­ity and off-road capa­bil­i­ties. In Soviet Union UAZ-469B (UAZ-469 also nat­u­rally) wasn’t avail­able for pri­vate buyers.

UAZ-469 was very widely used in Soviet army

LuAZ-969

LuAZ-969

Pro­duced 1970–1990. It also may be named ZAZ-969 because at first thats what it was designed to be. But actual pro­duc­tion only took place in LuAZ fac­tory so its really LuAZ-969.  Its mechan­ics are largely based on ZAZ-966 although they were lit­tle bit mod­ifed for exam­ple the engine was now in front.

In 1979 it the car was updated. It got a big­ger 1,2 liter engine. Although it only had 4 more hp it had bet­ter torque. In 1980’s it was exported to italy but export ver­sions had bet­ter engine from Ford Fiesta 1100.

Although LuAZ-969 doesn’t look like seri­ous offroader and has really small engine it has proven to be a seri­ous offroad machine.

There is also amphibi­ous ver­sion that was pro­duced for army LuAZ-967.
