Title: Made in Yugoslavia
Post by: cawimmer430 on April 15, 2019, 06:47:04 AM
This is the direct descendant of the infamous Yugo - the Zastava Koral!  :lol:

It has Serbian plates and I spotted this in a residential area in Munich. Apparently these were only produced in Serbia for the local market.

It must be a few years old.  It looks to be in pretty good shape.

Did we not have a guy here who worked on suspensions for a Yugoslavian car company?

They made them until 2008.  That looks like a late model.

Not sure what the IMT-558 sticker signifies.  That's the designation for a Yugoslavian-made farm tractor.

Probably made on the same assembly line :wtf:

Maybe it has a PTO. Not every tractor looks like a John Deere.

Dig the bright blue interior on the red car.

I like the side mirrors that don't fit the plastic housings.

At least all of the interior parts seem to match.  There was a period of time during Yugoslavia's collapse where their parts supply was limited and they were throwing cars together using whatever parts they had in the warehouse.  Black driver's seat in an otherwise brown interior car?  Sure, why not?  Steering wheels from a completely different vehicle?  No problem, a wheel's a wheel.  Leftover, North American market speedometer in MPH for a European market car?  Better than no speedometer at all!

I looked it up, it was CaMIRO, who worked at Zastava.

I thought it was 12,000?  Wasn't he a key proponent of rwisty-shafts?
