N.B. there also existed a modification of this ZAZ-965 called ZAZ-965B made for handicapped drivers. Through the years of its production, the only changes made were different air-intake opening design, the logo on the trunk and the presence of rear view mirrors mounted on front fenders on later versions..
Some hot-rod enthusiasts in Russia have made a stretch limo out of this car. (76 KB color, front view [107])
ZAZ-965, similarly to many other Soviet cars, was based
on a foreign model. In this case, Fiat 600, which had a water-cooled 633 cc
inline-4 engine producing 22 h.p.

This Fiat-600 was replicated in Yugoslavia as Zastava-750 [Zastava plant is
better known as producer of modified Fiat-128 or Yugo] under license from Fiat.
Appearance of Zastava-750 is nearly identical to that of Fiat-600. The Zastava
also has the same engine as the Fiat-600, it is a 750 cc water-cooled version. (21
