Re: What was once thought to be extinct...
Fuck that... This rural Russian needs to sell it to the Toyota Museum for a warehouse of potato vodka and shitty cigs.
It'd be a shame to see the last remaining survivor of a rare-to-begin-with car, spend the rest of it's days hauling liquor and prostitutes.

Re: What was once thought to be extinct...
UPDATE since all you cats are interested...
Front bumper is actually a rear bumper for a Pobeda (GAZ-20).
The front suspension, drivetrain bits and steering wheel are from a GAZ-24 according to one reply.
The OP says the front suspension is a mish-mash of "whatever was handy at the time". The rear end is an add-on with a grafted-on GAZ-21 trunk lid.
The car has been in town since "the dawn of time" and there is no knowledge of its history. The car is titled as a 1950 BMW.
That's what happens in a closed society with no access to spare parts. Hell, look at Cuba, stuffing Lada engines into 1950's American boats.
Edit:
Here's what he says is original to the car.
1. left-overs of the body (not including the floor)
2. All four doors
3. Mutilated frame
That is "it!" according to him. Everything else is non-original due to the car being in constant use in the USSR for so long.
