The ZAZ 965 looks EXACTLY like a Fiat 600 however the ZAZ people deny any link. (or at least they did at the time of production).

ZAZ never made a rear engine 4 door sedan.It took me 2 days to find it, because the car isn't Russian. It's Czech.

Dave@Moon Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I should point out that the car is no newer than 1976, and therefore AACA eligable. Perhaps new guidelines need to be written??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine that with the above statement that the shop is also Czech and it all makes sense!! Thanks for spending the time to find it. Oh and by the way, if it is a 100, it likely is older than 1976!!!

Dave@Moon Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 didn't the original Aspen have biodegradeable front fenders?The whole front clip on my dad's 1977 Aspen had to be replaced to pass PA state inspection when the car was 9 months old. It was replaced by Chrysler (before the recall), but my dad had to install it and paint it himself.:mad:Come to think of it, the less than 1 year old car with Earl Sheib semi-gloss metallic green paint would go nicely with these custom wheels. I wonder if they had a darker woodgrain version to match the dashboard.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
