23,000 miles on a car that apparently was on the road for around 17 years? (made in 88, tags in 2005). Wonder if it was 123k miles? What really destroyed Yugo was a complete ban on parts and their plant getting destroyed, which accounts for the workarounds.
It wasn't really destroyed if you mean on 90s period, Yugoslavia only was under UN sanctions. Production of Yugo model continued up to 2000s until it stopped as factory was sold to Fiat.
@@stefanerasimovic9528 Factory was destroyed and heavily damaged in NATO bombing ..was bombed for 2 nights ..i know because i live near it ..it was restored after it
My dad kept one running till the early 2000s in northern California. Apparently its an even cheaper copy of a fiat 128, and many of the parts are interchangable. Though to my younger memory it seemed to run on precussive maintence, swearing, and spite. He actually prefers this car over his PT cruiser, due to how simple the engine was to work on.
Love the Yugos there’s one down a street which we Walk to sometimes and we’re trying to get the owner to let us restore well not us my dads mate Scott from socttilind and we’re trying to save it for him and I don’t why there so hated but they buy it so they must like it so thanks for the upload and let’s see if Scott can come down .
That's awesome! Great video. Did you end up restoring it and giving it some new rims, tires, and a paint job? It'd be a fun car to drive around for leisure.
You say they don't last long....you said it's a 1988...you also said it was last on the road in 2005...that's 17 years..most new American car brands don't last that long...
the engine is design from Lampredi who also dit the Ferrari engines , it is a good reving one ,only look to the cambelt but this can rev about 9000 with no problems ,i had a Fiat Uno 55s (same engine as the Yugo ) i putted a carburateur from weber and it was fast ,the engine was still running but the car went to scrap all rotted away
If someone gave me a beautiful new car and a trust fund to pay for gas, insurance, license…..I think I would be afraid to drive it. I love cruising Craigslist for cheep cars like this. Fortunately I don’t have room.
io la trasformavo in un missile-terra-aria parafanghi deltone evo 2 ho con cilindrata modificata ha 2395!? oppure ha 3748 V6 ha 24 v biturbo+nos da 1000 CV di origine alfa romeo super 166!? s'intende😂🎉😢😮😅😊😂🎉😢😮😅😊😊
@midiplaybox3453 probably not, at least not without destroying quality. The Yugo is a pile of crap, they never were any good. They were cheap and built of very low quality materials, end result was a car so bad if you had 3, 2 would always Be in for repair
The first of many times I watched that movie I missed the very beginning where they described the Yugo dump on Verplank, NY. So I started noticing everybody's driving a Yugo, WTF?
