UAZ 469
If you want something different and you are not afraid of importing a car from overseas, here is a special vehicle for you, the Russian UAZ 469. Introduced in 1971, the UAZ 469 was a successor of the GAZ 69, a simple and rugged military jeep-like vehicle. They improved the 469 with a new chassis and live axles in the front and rear.
Also, it had a more powerful engine in form of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline unit. However, despite the various improvements, this was still a crude car. It was extremely durable since they made it for the toughest off-road courses and for military use. It was uncomfortable and simple, but effective. This off-roader is still in production in Russia and still in use all around the world.
