    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Today, I bought the worst car ever made - a 1986 Yugo GV, which happens to be world famous as the most viewed Yugo on UA-cam, being on channels like Doug Demuro, VinWiki, Aging Wheels, and this one. It's also very, very broken, so let's see if we can fix it, shall we?

      @Blesava Konjina it's interresting because I live in Poland and if the stuff is made in and for Poland it's ussually crap and the same stuff which goes for Germany is made differently and a lot better. The worse countries get worse products. Even Haribo jelly bears are made different for Germany and Poland. So it's actually better to get a used car from germany than buy a new one made for Poland. it's so messed up to the point that people buy new cars abroad and pay tax just to have a car that is better because it's diffent quality, and it's 2021...

      @Blesava Konjina I was familiar with these when new in the US and liked them, yeah, you can tell it's from Fiat, and I knew that then, essentially a variation of the Fiat 127, but with the running gear of the 128 for the US market models, that is, the GV, GVS, GVL had the entry level 1.1L OHC 4, the GVZ, I think it was, had the slightly quicker 1.3L, and the ONLY differentiation between the trim was the interiors got upgraded to slightly plusher door panels, seat upholstery etc, but the dash etc, remained the same. The GVZ had a slide and fold front seat buckets, instead of the entire seat tilting up from the front of the seat cushion. Other than that, the tailights had integrated back up lights and fancy wheels, then there was also the cabrio variant as well.
      As said, not speedy, but it did get out of the way, more or less and was basic transportation par excellence. Never ended up with one when newish. Later years (1990-1991), the line was consolidated to the GV Plus, basically a combination of the base car, with the seats from the GVZ and the 1.3L inline 4 and it got fuel injection but otherwise, not much else, but by 1991, the war in Yugoslavia took its toll and the car could not sustain exports as a result, and there was a lawsuit of some Yugos by 1990 had emissions problems when new, thus didn't meat emissions standards, both spelled the death knell to the car and by 1992, it was gone from our shores.
      Like I said, not bad, and it being based on the Fiat was alright by me, mind you, an old model that was initially introduced in the late 60's. The 127 was a hatchback, but a lower priced model than the 128 sedan/coupe and 3 door wagon (I'd want that for the 128, and could have come close to purchasing a bright yellow '78 128 in the early 80's. As said, the Yugo for the US anyway was an amalgamation of both models, the body is a variant of what the 127 was shod, but converted to FWD with the use of the 128 running gear. BTW, the 127 in Italy and beyond, came with a pushrod motor, the 128 from the outset was OHC.
      As you can tell, I did some research on this a bunch of years back. :-)

    • @johnhpalmer6098
      @johnhpalmer6098 3 роки тому +3

      @Blesava Konjina Thanks! I knew a few details of it after the Yugoslavian war through research but I DO need to make a slight correction to my initial post. The Fiat 127 was introduced in 1971 as a replacement for the then outgoing Fiat 850, which was RWD and rear engined of around 850cc. The 127 was built as a FWD car, but not with a McPherson strut suspension and I don't think it had front disks either and the 903cc motor was pushrod, or OHV in design and was sold as a sedan or the more popular hatchback.
      Other than a few details, the Yugo sported a similar body. The Fiat 128 was a true modern FWD car and one of the first as it did sport OHC motor, a true transaxle transmission, transverse mounted, and with McPherson struts up front and disc brakes, all revolutionary at the time, now commonplace.
      It's all quite interesting nonetheless.

    We had a Yugo on our ranch in central Texas. It was a lot of fun to drive the hell out of.
    Our family used it to deliver cattle cake to the different pastures, so the cows would run towards it when we drove it, which made it a thrill.

      Sorry, somehow thinking of running cows just doesn't get me to quite the same level of awe that the Jurassic park scene (in reality) would. Just sayin. But contrary to the movie tenants, the cows are actually MUCH smarter than any dinosaur was, and cows aren't exactly brilliant. I think they place somewhere between tree stumps and house cats. The actions of the raptors hunting the humans in the building were beyond silly. Not that you wouldn't be in serious trouble, but they wouldn't be operating like those were. In reality, they were somewhere south of a chicken in intelligence, and if you've ever had chickens, that should bring a chuckle. Not turkeys, but not geniuses, either.

    Actually the Yugo was based, not on the Fiat 128 but on the Fiat 127. Later models came with the 128 engine like that one. But in my country only the Yugo 45 (Fiat 127 engine) were sold. This engine was weaker but more reliable. It had a timing chain not a rubber belt as the 128 SOHC engine. Even so that engine (the 128) was very popular in Portugal on the Fiat, of course. It was one of the first ones with a head camshaft on a engine in an affordable model.
