This car has not run since 1979. Somehow, we managed to get it started.

When I was 14 I bought my first car with my paper route money,,, The car was a 1970 Subaru 360 Young that had a burnt pistion, I replaced the pistion and drove this car for a few years ,, thanks for the videom it brings back good memories.

@acoow thanks, he was into a lot of stuff...the Subaru these days is quite popular, especially in Colorado...my son has one :) relatives of mine had a new Pobeda, this in 1959, I wish I'd taken a pic of it...later in 75 it was shown to me in a forlorn condition, rust, all goodies removed from it...I did like the look of it, close to a Volvo 444

@granskare It was imported by the same man (Malcom Bricklin) who would later import the Yugo.

If its a Polaris 360- its the same engine.. Maybe.

2!! I'm lucky to find someone who knows what one is.. I drove a 311 (my fav outside of a Barkas) and 2 Trabi's. An early rare P50 and a 601 kombi. I owned a Moskvitch 407 and brought it here to the states. It resides with a guy in Ohio.

The 360 is actually quite reliable when set up. Cool little car.

Sounds exactly like a chainsaw. Still, I wouldn't mind owning one. I've had two Wartburgs!

great car! luck was with you...it was not a Yugo :)

I saw one of these at a Chicago Auto Show, $1297.00 sticker price :)
