GAZ does not build many cars like the GAZ-69: a 2-door cargo, 4-door field car with 2.1 , built from 1953 to 1975 at the height of the post-war boom.
The background
The GAZ-69 is a Soviet four-wheel drive off-road vehicle produced by GAZ (ГАЗ, or Gorkovsky Avtomobilnyi Zavod, Gorky Automobile Factory) between 1953 and 1956 and then by UAZ between 1956 and 1972, though all of these light truck class vehicles were known as GAZ-69s. It was also produced in Romania until 1975.
The engineering
Under the skin sits 2.1 . Kerb weight is 1535-1589 kg. The gearbox is a 3-speed manual. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 2300 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in GAZ's history is not in doubt: the GAZ-67 / Willys MB came before it; the UAZ-469 followed it; it was built at Gorky, Ulyanovsk. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Corvette, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Its GAZ stablemates include the Chaika and the GAZ 24-24.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the GAZ-69 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
