ZAZ-965A "Zaporozhets" - Modification with a capacity of 27 hp, produced from November 1962 to 1969.

A total of 322,166 cars of all modifications were released.

PRICE

At the time of his appearance in 1960, "Zaporozhets" cost 18,000 most expensive rubles - however, only a small car party was released in that year, mainly separated by the shower plants, the first commercial cars went on sale already after the monetary reform, at a price of 1,800 rubles. According to the legend, the price was determined as the total cost of 1,000 bottles of vodka (1.80 rubles).

With the average salary in the USSR of the early 1960s, this value correlated approximately as 20: 1, that is, "Zaporozhets" could be bought for about 20 average wage in the country.

"ZAZ-965" is shifted in the Soviet cartoon "Well, wait!" In the fifth issue, when the wolf tries to force the hare to leave the telephone booth. When he squeezes a lot of cigarettes, he begins to swing and he goes on the road, where he almost knocks on a green Zaporozhets. Similar to ZAZ-965 car can be seen in the 20th series "Well, wait!"

ZAZ-965 also starred in the films "Three Plus Two" (1962), "While the Thunder is not born" (1967), "One day twenty years later", "Detech" (1979), "Careset Mary Medici" (1980) , Golden Eye (1995), "Patriotic Comedy" (1992), "Lopuhi.

The export version of ZAZ-965AE can be seen in the film "Acceratka" (1987), and the homemade cabriolet based on ZAZ-965 - in the film "Be My Husband" (1981). In the series "Adult" animated series "Barboskina" large-scale model "ZAZ-965" with the body of the cabriolet is present as a man man.

Also ZAZ-965 is one of the heroes of the clip on the song "Hey, the guy" of Chris Kielmi and the Rock-Atelier group.

• Folk nicknames: "Zhuzhik", "constipation", "Zazik", "Baby", etc. But despite the ridicule and anecdotic, the car was a folk favorite, until the 80s of the last century, and in the 21st century meet Lovers of this model.

• Blinds of air intakes, the so-called "Zhabra", have another name that has an interesting story. In the process of development, among the main problems of the car, the motor overheating. The decision was found one constructors of the "Communar" plant (ZAZ), by the name Wasserman. After testing, the idea was approved and after, for this item, the nickname "Tirka Wasserman" was entrenched.
• Because thanks to the design of the car was different high passability, They were joking in the people: "Where a foreign car is braking," constipation "on the bouquer will crack!".

• Among the modifications "Zhuzhik" was a model for disabled with one hand and one foot ZAZ-965ar. The main feature was automatic electromagnetic clutch - only two pedals and gear lever were used to control the car. Subsequently, it was recognized as sufficiently reliable - ferromagnetic powder over time lost its properties, in addition, due to the increased moment of inertia, the anchor was not provided to quickly switching the gear for intensive overclocking of the car, and the synchronizers of the gearbox were significantly overwhelmed and wear out more. Therefore, over time (already on models on the basis of ZAZ-968), adhesion with vacuum drive was introduced instead.

• ZAZ-965 became the last Soviet car with a turn signal toggle switch (in fact, the early ZAZ-966 also had a turn signal toggle switch in the middle of the instrument panel) and with doors opening against the movement of the car.

ZAZ-965. - Soviet salra car, produced from to 1963.

ZAZ-965A. - Modification with a motor with a capacity of 27 hp, produced from November to 1969.

The study of the experience of world automotive industry has already made it possible to come to a completely unequivocal conclusion: the microllane cannot be simply a reduced copy of their "big fellow". It is necessary to recall that at that time most cars had an engine in front and rear leading bridge - the so-called "classic layout". However, for the machine size with the future "Zaporozhets" it was clearly irrational, as it limited the useful space of the salon, increased the overall height, cost and mass of the car due to the presence of a body passing under the floor cardanian Vala. All attempts to release cars "classic" layouts in the "especially small" class inevitably ended with the appearance of high, heavy, minor and quite clumsy externally structures. It was possible to get rid of these shortcomings by saving the engine and transmissions into a single unit and placing it directly from leading wheels - front or rear.

Meanwhile, the Soviet designers approached the design of the Italian prototype quite creative. The body, retaining the fiat structure similar to the "Fiat", in particular - the floor panel lowly located between widely spaced boxes, which increased the capacity of the vehicle while maintaining an acceptable height, - received a more modern external form, becoming a two-point fastback with firewalls on the sidewall imitating individual Wings, three-tier two-door sedan with a flat sidewall, clearly dedicated the volume of the trunk and large rear glassunified with frontal (see also external car comparison). The doors at the same time remained hung on the rear loops, which provided a more convenient landing in the salon, but reduced security. But the windows of the doors from the sliding have become more conveniently sinks, "Footings" appeared. In the chassis, a more advanced front suspension was applied on two transverse tocions (the so-called Porsche system was used, the same was used at the first sectors of sports cars and Volkswagen- "beetle") - instead of "Fiatovskaya" on the transverse springs, as well as designed for the worst quality roads increased 13-inch wheels that demanded increased wheel niches And change the layout of the car as a whole. The engine and transmission were completely domestic development.

Initially, equipped car engine motorcycle type MD-65 was envisaged. But it turned out to be low-taking place for the car, and in working with overload had a meager resource - no more than 30 thousand km to overhame. Later, two prototype of power units were created in us, it should have been opposite engines According to Citroën 2CV scheme. As a temporary solution, the prototype "444-BCR" (1958) was installed engine from the BMW 600 - also the opposite, but two-cylinder.

These developments are interested in the designers of the Army Amphibian TPK's amphibious transportation, just needed in the engine of this type and previously so unsuccessfully experimented (US 049, 1958) with Irbit MD-65. Further works were already taking into account their proposals.

In the end, they came to a compromise version - ZAZ and military amphibia were unified by the power unit, which had a working volume initially 746, later than 877 cubes (with the possibility of further extension) and differed in the military (MEMZ-967) and civilian (MEMZ-965) versions of only separate details.

At the same time, the engine should have been placed on the front of the flywheel back, and Za -aa - behind the flywheel forward. Since the considerations of the army customer turned out to be weighty, the engine was generally calculated precisely on the front location in the sealed volume of amphibian motoes, without cooling the oncoming air flow, therefore it was completed with the exhaust fan. The injection fan was set later, which, according to the developers, should have improved the cooling of the engine located behind. But the problems with overheating of the power unit were to some extent inherent to all the "Zaporozhets" until ZAZ-968M, in which the cooling system was completely recycled (however, the owners of cars themselves were largely involved in this Overload, and regular cleaning of cylinder cooling, which was the key to a good heat exchange with cooling air, neglected). Noise of the Motor Military was also not normalized and, compared with the rest soviet carsWe had water cooling engines, was unsatisfactory.

Later, the modification of the same engine and transmission of amphibian was also used on civilian variants of TPK, LUAZ-969, which are often mistakenly described as "Corozhets". "

Price

At the time of his appearance in 1960, "Zaporozhets" cost 18,000 doreform rubles (1,800 rubles after reform). According to the legend, the price was determined as the total cost of 1,000 bottles of vodka (1.80 rubles). With the average salary in the USSR of the early 1960s, this value correlated approximately as 20: 1, that is, "Zaporozhets" could be bought for about 20 average wage in the country.

The current value of ZAZ-965 on the secondary market will be very much varied depending on the preservation of the car and the seller, making up a few thousand rubles to several thousand dollars.

Design

Salon ZAZ-965

The machine was driven by the engine air cooling A rare configuration with a working volume of 746 cm³ (MEMZ-965 model) air cooling with a camshaft in the block collapse between the cylinder heads. Location - behind the rear axle. Aluminum alloy was partially used, Carter was made of magnesium alloy. Power - 23 hp

The original feature of the car was the console posting of the power unit for three points on the transmission crankcase - the engine itself does not have any supports or fastening points to the body.

On the ZAZ-965A model in 1962-1965, the MEMZ-966 engine was installed, with an increased working volume of up to 887 cm³, which developed 27 hp, and in 1966-1969 - Memes-966a with the same working volume, but already in 30 hp

The basic model was manufactured in the period from 1964, and the modernized ZAZ-965A - from 1962 to 1969. At the beginning of sales, the price for the population was 18,000 rubles in the old scale of prices (before the denomination 1:10, held in 1961).

Since it was assumed that the Soviet car owners would have to serve the car independently, air cooling was estimated positively and saw very practical in the harsh winter conditions (at low temperatures there is no risk of freezing of coolant in the parking lot). In addition, the small mass of the power unit, its simplicity and collapsible design (removable cylinders) allowed us to repair the car with almost "in a clean field."

Nevertheless, in general and general Engine It turned out to be one of the main disadvantages of the car: its resource was relatively small due to the tense temperature mode, the thin walls of the block, air cooling and the short silencer led to a significantly elevated level of noise, and the absence of absence liquid system Cooling Separate gasoline heater was distinguished by low reliability, with irregular maintenance - even fire hazard (disadvantages, characteristic of many other cars with similar technical solutions).

Well, why do this seems to be a city typewriter, I want to the sea - the warm black b is the cool Baltic? The motor is modest, tauralit at least fun, yes loud, the trunk is also not a giant at all. Riddown, I think, is simple: for many it is this car - a symbol of the first car joys, freedom, long-distance romantic travel!

Popular mechanics

Half an hour shame, but at work! Jokes and jokes about the "Zaporozhets" appeared almost simultaneously with the prototype at the VDNH. Still: well, everything is not like normal cars! Motor - in the trunk, no radiator, the doors open, like older, still pre-war cars, and the rear wheels are indecent curved! The most attentive discovered: even the inscription on the front of some strange - "Zaporozhetsy". Not everyone immediately guessed: it is in Ukrainian.

But the competition in wittedness issued strong interest. After all, the car, which is about to start producing the Communar Combine Plant in Zaporizhia, is specifically designed for motorists-private traders - they are slowly, but a steadily growing army. Promise to be the same that it will be available to almost every worker.

According to the current domestic standards ZAZ-965 created pretty quickly. He, of course, was not original: body and rear suspension Borrowed from the popular Fiat-600, the front - at Volkswagen-Beetle, the engine was like a Tatrovskaya "air", only highly reduced. But, given the novelty of the car, the need for the USSR, the need to organize new production not only in Zaporizhia, but also in Melitopol (engine), it must be admitted: it was very compressed in the deadlines. The design began in the fall of the 1956th (together by us and misma), in 1957 the first prototype "Moskvich-444" appeared - first with an import engine, then with a domestic motorcycle, and on June 18, 1959 in Zaporizhia, a first trial sample was collected in Zaporozhe. True, before the start of mass production passed even more than a year.

Of course, the round (a little rude "humpback will come later) the car was far from the ideal in general and even for the Soviet person in particular. Everyone, of course, dreamed of "Volga". Well, or at least about Moskvich. And here in 1959 in Sokolniki showed the whole color of the American automotive industry. How not like these luxurious, huge, shining chrome and stunning technical characteristics The cruisers are small, as if pursing the lips from the insult "Zaporozhets"! But newspapers and magazines strongly emphasize: catch up and overtake the United States - does not mean repeating all the overseas gears. Well, against the background of European analogues ZAZ-965, by the way, looked quite decently: completely independent suspension - penette torsion, spring snow (Fiat-600, by the word, front of the spring), a four-stage gearbox, motor - 23 hp At the same Fiat-600 22 hp, and the "five hundred" and at all 13 hp The engine of the famous "Ugly Duckling" - "Citroen-2CV" developed 12.5 hp Only the German "beetle", BMW-700 and DKV-Junior equipped with motors in 30 and more strength.

However, for Soviet people much more importantly, "Zaporozhets" costs 1,800 rubles with new ones, and after all, "Moskvich" is 2500, and "Volga" and the most fabulous 5100! Therefore, ZAZ-965 became for most of its buyers the first car in life. Remember? It is almost like the first love with her joys and disappointments ...

Sea - Ahead, Motor - Rear

He is not at all such an uncomfortable, as it seems at first glance. At least for the driver and front passenger. Worst of all that the left foot interferes with the arch wheel, but the floor pedals are quite acceptable, it is possible to get used to the shift lever with quite large moves - no worse than on foreign rear-engine analogues. Brakes without amplifier? Nonsense! If on the 21st Volga and even gas-51 went ...

To patiently transfer acceleration at least up to 60 km / h, you need a sense of humor and good nature. At the same time, a 27-horsepower airier (this is already upgraded ZAZ-965A 1967) tahrachtis from the soul. At first even fun! But imagine the path to the sea kilometers in five hundred, and even in a thousand! But the little, close cars during their youth served, as a rule, precisely summer and vacation!

The back is already tired of the harp's cartoon "chairs", the raggy is increasingly pressing on the ears - despite the fact that even for not a fully loaded car 80 km / h limit, maximum speed. I was spoiled! For many families in the 1960s, a trip to the sea on his own "Zaporozhet" was a great happiness! Who envied even more families. Well, the meager trunk often complemented the structure on the roof, the sizes rather suitable for the "Volga".

In the summer, the controllability is normal for the "cub" speeds - again, no worse than the overseas level. But the extremism does not like the machine. This quickly understood those who performed on ZAZ-965 in the rally. Yes, yes, in the rally! Let's say, the racer, a repeated champion of the Union and the winner of the international competition, Stasis Brundz, starting the sports career, was at Gorbat, and, like some other athletes, tested his roof for strength. By the way, this indicator of ZAZ-965 is at height! However, the overwhelming majority of owners are much more important maintainability. The first car in conditions of lack of workshops and spare parts contributed to the development of locksmith, motorist, even tinsmith and malaria. Non-humid manipulations S. force aggregate (First, omit, then pull back), and you can repair it - right in the garage or in the yard. It happened, with the help of a neighbor, the engine was delivered even home! There, under the disapproving bundle of the wife and interested chirping of the heirs, the motor of air cooling (but there are no leaks!) Repaired, disassembled by cylinders. And here is the total family joy - the car is back on the go!

The thing in myself was an autonomous stove. Heats regardless of the engine temperature ... when it works. The incandescent candle, the regulator ... Now sounds as exotic, how to "set ignition" or "adjust the level in the carburetor." However, in winter, then went rarely. Most of the "Zaporozhtsev" stood on joke - rarely in the garage, more often under tarpaulin in the courtyard, where shown boys stored to make a snow hill from the machine ...

I move off the highway on a picturesque forest path. By the way, the permeability of the "Zaporozhets" is quite decent: minimal ground clearanceAs now in other crossovers: 175 mm, and under the engine and 200 mm at all. And the habs suspension is not particularly afraid. So come. Just like a spin sick, a ridiculous left leg and ears were tired. But now for some reason I want to go on!

Sea shore or at least rivers, tent, bowler, transistor receiver (lucky ones - Riga "speedla"!) And, of course, own car: anthem in the 1960s autotourism. Or maybe it's true here nearby - let's say, over the pine - waiting for a romantic adventure, and then the future destiny? The comedy "Three Plus Two", where in addition to five animated heroes, the "Volga" and "Zaporozhets" play important roles, with all the naive-sweet artificiality the spirit of the era reflected quite true.

It does not matter that the microllage "Zaporozhets" is scolded and shumen, not too fast and not so much reliable. He is first! And there is a large and bright life ahead - your personal and country, which is building more and more housing, let it have been small, and a couple of months before the start of the serial 965, even launched into space of living beings - the dogs of the squirrel and the arrow!

Of course, the future will be not quite like this, as we saw. "Cossacks" for a long time for a long time was not museum exhibits, but by family transport. And changing the owners, they took, as a rule, to those who, too, just started a car life. Now "Zazik" and taught them to ride, repair, painting. There was still a lot of years before, before the "Zaporozhets" began to treat as fun toys, building converts, a sports accumulation, stricti. Or - finally! - How to rarities. Of course, many parted with old, very no longer corresponding to the rhythm of the life of the "humpback" without regret. But now they look at this blossom typewriter with a smile and light sadness. Probably remember the first love with her delights, joy, resentment and disappointments ....

In the early ZAZ-965 it was written "Zaporozhet" - in Ukrainian.
