Beta 1972 ZMZ 968-B 1.2

1972-1979 ZMZ-968 B "Zaporizhets'"

Known glitch: The brake light blink is somehow attached in the taillight area. I'll fix that later. The rest of car doesn't have any glitch.

Improvements:

• Added more powerful brakes
• Decreased top speed to 130 km/h
• Sunflower Yellow is car colour
• BeamNG driver cam supported
• The bucket seats are balanced
• Added molds on hood and trunks for better ZAZ effect.

The Story:
In the 1960s ZMZ had developed small economy car with very small 769cc boxer-4 push rod engine. Although it was very popular and produced in moderate numbers, it was too small for most Soviet families.
So in 1972 ZMZ had replaced aging, Italian-inspired 965 B with more comfy and long ZMZ 968 B, which took its inspiration from GNU Kleine Prinz 1000 and Declasse Convair RWD and rear-engine compact sedans. The wheelbase is increased, the more powerful 1.2L boxer-four (V4) was installed and after all car was bigger and decent competitor for most 1960s European city models. Main problem was its finish, sometimes it was unreliable, the handling was too bricky and it was, according to legends, made of most harsh Soviet steel so no Euro car had to survive direct clash with it. It was made in Ukrainian SSR until 1979, when it was updated with more boxy and ugly 968 M, which continued its production until 1994.
It was export to most Soviet client states, and also to Yugoslavia and some European countries (where it was failure because of its crude finish)
As the story says, this car is inspired by ZAZ 968 B (original one) aka "Zaporizhets" or "Zaporozhets", people's car from Soviet Ukraine. Have fun
