Yugo GVX out to pasture

If you’re a driving enthusiast and you want a Yugo, this is the model to get!  Ad says automatic, but we see a manual shift lever.


That being said, this likely isn’t the car to get.  We get the impression they mowed the grass for the first time in 15 years and thus discovered this car.  The total lack of ad text/description is highly reassuring considering the car clearly has a story.

$200 with one bid and reserve not met
Update: Ended at $355 with 9 bids and reserve not met.

This photo really says “look what I found, Dad!”  Being shot from a great distance really adds to it. Is it that no one wants to get close to this Eastern Bloc nightmare or that no one has been in that part of the back forty in 20 years?  Maybe it’s both.

The car appears to have been moved for some photos, but it appears it didn’t move under its own power.Flat tires, or embedded in the soil?

Attached weeds and cobwebs are a nice touch.

Interior has the fancy GVX seats.  We’ll best the missing shift knob and speaker aren’t the biggest problems here.

This is our favorite image.  Grass and weeds growing through an engine compartment deliver a message of security.  It would be hilarious to get it running and let the grass burn off the exhaust manifold, but that assumes one can get it running.
