One of my friends dad bought one back in the late 70s, I remember it even came with the "turn handle" to put in a hole in the front bumper and start it by hand. His dad even had it converted to run using both gasoline and propane, had a separate propane tank in the trunk and a knob in the car to switch it from one to the other.

copied Fiats. We also had the little 4x4 Lada's here also, Niva maybe? They also rusted like no tomorrow.
