The car was built almost in the same place where the "Start", but a little earlier..

Aaargh...I know this car, I have it somewhere but I don't have much time to look for it.
I remember it was in a certain site but it has also a dedicated page where are different pics of it in its different stages, including a version with a quite different front grille. I think it was based on a GAZ.
So far so good?

There is a page full of info about.
I can't translate it and Goggle gives a terrible translation.
Here you are the other cars by Parafenko.
