1k: Steppe Over To The Dark Side: 1981 Vaz 2101

Sometimes the right car just appears in the right place at the right time for the right price.  The decision is easy, you pull the trigger and become the owner of a new ride.  Other times the car is located in Siberia and only contact information is a mysterious Russian sounding email address.  Today's feature is the latter.  Find this 1981(ish) Vaz 2101 for sale for $1,500 via SF Bay Area, CA craiglist, but per the seller "Izz een Rrrussha."  Tip from Kaibeezy.



The Vaz 2101 was first introduced by AvtoVAZ in 1970 as a redesign of the Fiat 124 sedan for the soviet block.  The Vaz was also badged as the Lada 1200/1300 and exported to western countries only to rust in showrooms and become a punchline.  This car is listed with the following short advertisement:
