Government secrecy, restricted travel, propaganda and the passage of time make it difficult for westerners to know just what life was like on the other side of Iron Curtain during the Cold War. We are left with accounts from the people who lived there, remaining structures and relics of the era. One such relic is this 1974 Trabant 601S. Find it here on eBay for sale in Naples, FL for $5,500 buy-it-now.
The Trabant 601 was a small passenger sedan from the Soviet side of the Berlin Wall. It was the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany) equivalent of the Volkswagen Beetle and produced in staggering numbers. This next feature is one of the almost 3,000,000 Trabis to leave the production line in Zwickau, Germany. Find this 1989 Trabant 601S offered for $6,000 in Santa Cruz, CA via craigslist.
