“A multifunctional car built by V. Komar for use in the conditions of Russian reality,” is written on a plate next to this car. Once again, 1990, "... in the conditions of Russian reality." Look, and indeed the design of the car meets the conditions of the Russian reality of the 90s.
Katam 1966
Built more like a boat with wheels. Wooden frame covered with impregnated waterproof material plywood. Engine from Java-350. The machine-boat is equipped with navigation lights and devices necessary for navigation.
In the 60s, the famous magazine " Technique-youth"led the movement of amateur automotive industry in the USSR. For 20 years, dozens of home-made cars appeared on the pages of the magazine, on TV screens, during many car runs around the country, to the eyes of millions of readers and viewers.
A huge thing in the popularization of the amateur automotive industry in the 80s was made by the program "It's You Can" (computer), which enjoyed popular attention. For each 45-minute broadcast, television received up to half a million letters (!!!).
"Pangolina"
Like the first products of Ford and Benz, the legend of the Soviet author's automotive industry - "Pangolina", was designed and built by almost one person. Alexander Kulygin.
Unlike the amusing “Shelf” or “Ant”, Kulygin’s “Pangolin” was a full-fledged car, created by an experienced and talented designer.
The main structural material of the body was fiberglass. Work on the creation of the Pangolin body began with the formation of a master model - a plywood base for fiberglass. The main operations were carried out in Moscow. After Kulygin left for Ukhta, the master model was destroyed.
The process of adapting the body to the chassis of the VAZ penny took place in the city of Ukhta. The original motor from the VAZ 2101 was used as the engine - a forced alternative to the planned boxer engine, which never appeared in final version"Pangolins".
Connoisseurs claimed that Kulygin's inspiration was Lamborghini sports car Countach. This is indicated by the shape of the body and the original design of the mechanism for opening and closing doors - implemented in the form of a movable cap that captures part of the roof. A periscope prism was used as a rear-view mirror.
SUV "Neva"
"Neva" (~ 1988) - a home-made off-road pickup truck, designed in the 80s of the last century by residents of the city of Strelna (St. Petersburg) Nikolai Yakovlev and Vladimir Kapusto.
The car, produced by the creators in two copies, was assembled on the units and assemblies of the GAZ-69 and UAZ-469 - transmission, chassis; GAZ-24 - suspension elements; VAZ-2101/03/21 - engine, gearbox, windows. The frame, body panels were made by the designers themselves from metal.
According to the creators, the machines showed excellent cross, easily overcoming obstacles that were beyond the power of, for example, "Niva".
"Jeep" - a homemade car for travel
"Jeep" (1981) - a self-made car for travel, designed by ErAZ design engineer Stanislav Holshanosov (Yerevan, Armenia). The rear-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle was created on the principle of "simple and reliable", the design used space frame, sheathed with aluminum outer panels.
As power plant the engine from the VAZ-2101 was used, the car also got a gearbox from the Zhiguli, rear axle, electrical and headlights.
The designer made the front axle himself, cardan shaft was borrowed from the Volga GAZ-21 and modified, springs dependent suspension, appliances, windshield wipers and a gas tank went to the all-terrain vehicle from the UAZ-469.
Homemade car showed itself perfectly in the most difficult conditions operation, has always attracted the attention of the public, was awarded the first prizes in competitions and runs.
Universal cross-country vehicle of V. Bezrukov
V. Bezrukov's car (1984-87) - universal, rear wheel drive car off-road with a front engine, designed by V. Bezrukov (Elektrougli, Moscow region) on the basis of components and assemblies LuAZ-969 (rear axle, wheels), UAZ-469 (cardan shaft, suspension elements), ZAZ-968M (engine, gearbox transmissions, electrical equipment), Moskvich-412 ( brake system) and others stock cars.
The body, frame, original door opening mechanism and much more were made by the author himself.
"Laura"
Gennady Khainov and Dmitry Parfyonov worked in a dilapidated building on the outskirts of, then, Leningrad. As a basis, a home-made welded frame made from ordinary water pipes was used.
The process of building a couple of cars ( personal transport wanted to have both designers) stretched out over several seasons. In the cold season, work was underway on undercarriage, and in the warm - a glass-cloth case was glued.
The VAZ 2105 engine became the heart of the future car. Through the efforts of Khainov and Parfenov VAZ unit connected with a gearbox manufactured by the Zaporizhzhya Automobile Plant, but as a CV joint, nodes from the Niva were used. All work was carried out only by hand.
In the salon "Laura" there was a unique electronic dashboard equipped with an onboard minicomputer. As the latter, a conventional programmable calculator was used.
The tandem of designers broke up in 1988. Fate original cars different: one of the Lauras was dismantled for spare parts for the Laura 2 project, and the second was sold to one of the specialized museums.
Yuna - Soviet sports car
The inspirers of the Yuna project were the brothers Yuri and Stanislav Algebraistov, champions of the USSR in aircraft modeling sports.
It was they who were engaged in the selection and installation of hardware. The Shcherbinin brothers joined the project a little later - at the stage of work on the design and creation of the body.
Unlike most author's cars, the Yuna project did not use an engine from a lawn mower, but a full-fledged unit from a scarce Volga GAZ-24. It was the GAZ-24 engine and transmission that influenced the final design and dimensions of the car body.
The Shcherbinin brothers proposed to implement the body in the form of a sports two-seater coupe. It took only one year to develop the Yuna body layout.
After the final agreement on the parameters and calculations (in this matter, the Algebraistovs and Shcherbinins were helped by the engineers of the Moscow plant small cars) began to create a frame and a master model made of ordinary wood board.
The body material was fiberglass, already familiar to Algebraic aircraft modellers. Even anatomical seats for the driver and passenger were made from this structural material.
Car "Katran"
Undoubtedly, the home-made car "Katran" by Alexander Fedotov can be considered one of the most famous representatives"Samavto". The car won its popularity by participating in many motor races and competitions of home-made designs.
Being engaged in aircraft modeling, and after water-motor sports, Alexander Fedotov gained invaluable experience, which he successfully applied when creating this interesting car.
Being a modeller by profession, Alexander began work on the Katran by making a model of the future car on a scale of 1:10. On it, he worked out many design options, layout and constructive solutions. And only having verified everything thoroughly, he began to manufacture a car in full size.
The base of the "Katran" is the bearing bottom with elements of the spinal frame, made of 2 mm steel. For the manufacture of the frame, Alexander invented and made a bending machine.
A tubular frame is attached to the base, on which fiberglass panels are hung. The frame also serves as an element of passive safety.
The homemade engine is driven by the VAZ-2101 engine, docked through an adapter plate with the Zaporozhye checkpoint. Homemade car "Katran" is made according to the rear-engine scheme. With this arrangement, the front axle accounts for 47%, the rear - 53%, which is very good for a rear-engined vehicle.
The car tenaciously clings to the road, which is also facilitated by a low center of gravity.
The use of a gearbox from "Zaporozhets" led to the fact that "Katran" has an independent suspension on all wheels. This favorably affected the comfort of passengers, and the cross-country ability of the car.
The comfort of a four-seater body is facilitated by anatomical chairs made by the author himself. "Katran" is made doorless. For entry and exit is a cap that folds up and forward.
The hood is lifted using telescopic lifts.
The high thresholds of the car make it difficult to get in and out. To facilitate this procedure, steering column deviates to the right. To do this, a cardan joint was introduced into the steering drive.
The parting line of the cap with the body made it difficult to use lowering side windows. That's why side windows made movable. The task of interior ventilation helps to solve the rear window, which is lowered by means of an electric drive.
The gas tanks of the car are two 35-liter containers made from tanks washing machines. fuel tanks located in the compartment between the engine and the passenger compartment. Placing a gas tank inside the base is considered the safest solution in the global automotive industry.
Originally solved rear-view mirrors. With the help of the drive, they can hide in the front fenders. The shape of the upper part of the mirror body repeats the surface of the wing, the retracted mirror is flush with the wing.
Many years of operation of "Katran" and solid mileage proved the correctness technical solutions used in this undeniably exotic car.
linkMany people remember that in the USSR it was necessary to save up for a wheelbarrow all your life, and even stand in line for it for eight years. But our Russian peasant did not give up so easily. People made their own cars. Not all of course. So, at the exhibition of Ilya Sorokin's Oldtimers this year, everyone homemade cars who could find.

I have an ambivalent relationship with them. Most of the homemade products of that time are frankly miserable, and were based on two whales - a handy man and the general squalor and poverty of Soviet life. And it was called "I blinded you from what was ...". On the other hand, it was impossible not to admire some nuggets who sculpted not just anything, but realized their dream on an accessible element base, solving rather complex design problems in garage conditions. One of these nuggets was Alexander Kulygin with his famous "Pangolina".
An engineer by education, an electrician at the Palace of Children's Creativity in Ukhta by profession, the head of the technical creativity group part-time, Alexander Kulygin, having created the six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle "Ukhta" in 1979, in 1980 swung at the construction of a sports car, the design model of which was the famous Lamborghini Countach from Bertone.
Having no material base to copy the mid-engined layout of the Italian supercar, Kulygin managed to create a stylistic similarity on the Zhiguli units with a front engine and station wagon body.
The car was named "Pangolin". The car had a chassis and a 1.2 liter engine. and power 62l.s. from VAZ-2101. But, thanks to the excellent aerodynamics and low weight of the fiberglass body, it reached speeds of up to 180 km / h.
Having shown his creation for the first time in 1981, Kulygin regularly participated in "homemade" runs in subsequent years.
Since the "nose" of Pangolina was very sloping and the engine from the VAZ could not fit under it, the role of the "hood" was played by the front panel rising on hydraulics, equipped with serious noise and heat insulation. The motor, in fact, is located "in the base" (shifted back a lot), but not at the back, but at the front.
The fate of Alexander Kulygin himself was not easy. Taking out the "Pangolin" railway to Moscow (since there were no roads suitable for travel from Ukhta in 1981), Alexander went to his car for car races for several years in a row, then he received (in the wake of perestroika) proposals from the design bureaus of VAZ and AZLK. I decided to stay in Moscow and from the late 80s to the mid-90s I worked for Moskvich. Having not taken root among the Soviet elderly "artists-designers", Kulygin left for the USA in 1997, where he organized a small design office for the manufacture and sale of "kit-cars" (plastic sets body parts For self assembly). In 2004, on December 13, at half past ten in the morning, in New York City, on the way to work on his Yamaha, he crashed to death due to the fault of the carrier, who turned without looking in the mirror ...
Murena- a self-made two-seater car with a fully collapsible fiberglass body, designed by Nikolay Doroshenko (Sumy). The car was equipped with an engine from ZAZ-966, a gearbox from ZAZ-968, front axle was borrowed from the FDD motorized stroller.
Triton- unique homemade amphibian created by D. Kudryachkov (Moscow). Unlike other cars of this class, on the water the car is a high-speed boat-glider with a water jet, capable of reaching a speed of 50 km / h on the water.
The car was originally equipped with an engine from the GAZ-21, which was paired with a gearbox from the ZAZ-968, and allowed to accelerate to 110 km / h on land. Number passenger seats- 4, so-called. "Guest" (during swimming or parking) - 8. Fuel consumption was 12 liters on land and 34-38 liters on water.
Laika (~1969)- a two-seater sedan designed by B. Derkachev from the city of Kinin, Kuibyshev (Samara) region. The design of the car was based on an all-metal body frame welded from round pipes. The roof of the subcompact leaned up, it was possible to remove it completely, the windows were removed under the roof in good weather. The engine from the SZA (IZH) motorized carriage was used as a power plant, the sedan got the drive and balancers from it, the main gear migrated from the TG-200 scooter.
The body of the Laika was sheathed in aluminum, the side windows were made of plexiglass, the windshield and rear window borrowed from the GAZ-51. The design of the car provided for two trunks: in the front of the body and in the cabin above the engine, there was a complete set of electrics (6 volts), headlights, lights, a windshield wiper, necessary appliances and mirrors. Windshield V winter time blew warm air from the engine.
Despite the small size of the wheels and low engine power, the car had a fairly good cross-country ability, largely due to the high seating position and low weight of the structure.
"Ant"- a home-made wagon car designed and built by designers Molchanov and Ivchenko. The car was driven by an engine from a motorcycle JAVA-354, located in the rear of the back of the body. In the manufacture of the body, the creators of the Ant used pipes with a diameter of 45 mm for the frame, plywood for the sides and sheet steel for the front. From the SZA motorized carriage, the car got an independent suspension of all wheels.
Not only the body structure, unique at the time of creation, but the design of the car is interesting: original body shapes without doors, recessed headlights, perfectly matched proportions. The car was assembled in one copy, exhibited in Moscow, starred in films, participated in all parades of home-made cars, and even used as a confectionery truck.
V. Bezrukov's car (1984-87)- a universal, rear-wheel drive off-road vehicle with a front engine, designed by V. Bezrukov (Elektrougli, Moscow region) on the basis of units and assemblies LuAZ-969 (rear axle, wheels), UAZ-469 (cardan shaft, suspension elements), ZAZ- 968M (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment), Moskvich-412 (brake system) and other production vehicles. The body, frame, original door opening mechanism and much more were made by the author himself.

Few now remember the TV show “You Can Do It,” in which they talked about craftsmen who invent and manufacture various, sometimes amazing devices. One of the main applications of the forces of the Soviet Samodelkins were cars.
The samavto movement in the USSR grew and expanded every year. There were several reasons for this.
Cars remained in short supply (they were recorded and queued for them, purchases were waiting for years), while for many the roads were unaffordable. In addition, the Soviet industry did not please buyers with variety. Citizens knew they could never own a minivan or, say, a sports coupe. But you can make yourself exactly the car that you want! Let it be on serial units and assemblies. By the way, in the 1960s, they were generally allowed to use the maximum Zaporozhye motor. Later, however, the restrictions were relaxed.
Many homemade products looked naive and sometimes clumsy. Nevertheless, I bow to the ingenuity, perseverance and diligence of their creators!
You can probably make a book about homemade products from the times of the USSR. But for now, we recall only a few interesting and unusual designs.
The first do-it-yourselfers in the USSR appeared in the 1930s. 
Cars at that time ordinary citizens they simply didn’t sell it, but I wanted to ride it. Car OKTA (Experimental Design Tricycle) 1932 was built by Evgeny Kirshevsky from Novocherkassk. The three-wheeled single machine had a mass of only 236 kg, motorcycle engine and gearbox, brake on the only rear wheel. Later, the author of the car built a double version.
Who said that in the USSR it was impossible to own a car of the Gran Turismo class? Can! If you make it yourself. 
Leningrader Arkady Babich built the car back in 1959, and this was his third design. He even made a run from Leningrad to Simferopol on this roadster. Moreover, they claimed that 2125 km passed in 20 running hours! Hard to believe. But if so, then Babich is doubly a hero!
sports coupe KD is one of the few small-scale homemade products. 
In 1963-1969. NAMI employees made at least six such machines based on the sketches of the famous designer Eduard Molchanov. The body, like most Soviet homemade products, is fiberglass. The units, including the engine, and the layout are from ZAZ-965.
One of the few homemade steel-bodied works by A. Kucherenko, created in 1964, was called Trud. And by right! 
To make, and so carefully, independently from steel such a machine is a work that deserves special respect. The style is not without American influence, but this gives the Work its originality.
Homemade amphibians are a separate issue. 
Yuri Chumichev was one of the first to make such a car back in 1966. The body of his Katama was built according to boat technology - a wooden frame sheathed with plywood. Chassis- from the Serpukhov "invalid" C-3A. The motor from the Jawa motorcycle could drive propeller screw or wheels.
Minivan. 
The family of Murmansk resident Nikolai Paramonov had five children. Where to put them? In a home-made minivan on Moskvich units, albeit unsightly, but roomy.
pipe dream brothers Anatoly and Vladimir Shcherbinin embodied the Soviet man about their own sports coupe in 1969 in real car.
Moreover, with the most solid GAZ-21 engine available at that time. Later, the Shcherbinin brothers, together with the brothers Stanislav and Yuri Algebraistov, created two more modern coupes with GAZ-24 engines.
A futuristic construction that always gathers crowds of curious people, which in those years was called Zemnovod, was built by Muscovite D. Kudryachkov.
Ichthyander Igor Richman is equipped with a VAZ-2101 engine and a ZAZ gearbox. On the water, thanks to the water cannon, the car reached 18 km / h. Interesting feature Ichthyander, in addition to a doorless body with a cap that can be moved for landing and disembarking, is completely independent suspensions And disc brakes on all wheels.
The Riga car of Peter Nazarov Camelus, in fact, was a variation on the hatchback theme on “penny” units. 
The body is fiberglass, the brake system is homemade - dual-circuit.
The caravel of Alexander Chapygin is an example of the boundless design fantasy of the domestic Samodelkins.
In the USSR, you had to save up for a wheelbarrow all your life, and even stand in line for it for eight years. But our Russian peasant did not give up so easily. People made their own cars. Not all of course. So, at the exhibition of Ilya Sorokin's Oldtimers this year, they collected all such cars that they could find.
