Welcome. Where's "Cazzostan"? I know "Borat" is a comedian but we have so many here in the USof A, both in entertainment and politics, that it's difficut to keep track of (or even care about) them.

Welcome also, but from my understanding cazzostan is not a country or even a proper name of an actual place.

[my0wn3ds]

Cazzostan is a mispell
Just a joke...

I'm from Kazakhstan, but I'm russian

I think that my Mustang is only one carbureted Mustang in this country

[Areese3990]

possibly so do u know how that mustang found its way out there?

Not completely understood the question)

This is "made for Japan" version of Mustang.
It has some japanese symbols under the hood

[Areese3990]

For example, Russia has own Mustang club
Here in KZ about 20-30 Mustangs including 5th Mustangs

I know that in Russia some owners made the same carb conversion. But no one did it in KZ... exept me

There is only one FOX coupe
About 12 SN-95 and about 15 S-197

And a lot of Mustangs in Russia (hundereds)

[my0wn3ds]

Also there are two old Mustangs...
Yellow and blue, 1968 or 1969

One of my former co-workers used to deliver US made satellites to the launch facility at Baikonur. He too, drove a Mustang. The AN-124 that flew from Northern California had a lot of "extra" space and it was roumored that the plane's crew filled up that space with cars bought here and sold there. Don't break anything or throw parts away. I know that replacement items will be tough.

I can't imagine driving around Russia in a Mustang.

Yes, I know!
All parts I bought in US on e-bay or rockauto.

I went to Berlin one time when the wall was still up, and all I saw there were small Russian made cars that were really junk.  I went across the wall at Check Point Charlie into East Berlin.  I forget the name of that Russian car, but it was a piece of shit.

Late russian cars are real piece of shit.
May be you can remember some russian brand names like VAZ, GAZ, ZAZ, Lada, Volga, Moskvich etc.)))

But in 1950-1960 there was many nice cars.
Also in 1950-1980 russians produced some big and small block V8 engines.
But mostly used in trucks and buses.
And never used it in cars... exept KGB special vehicles))

I compared my FSB 302 with small block V8 GAZ.
GAZ engine is better and heads are better too (have some photo of that heads together).
Ford V8 and GAZ V8 are very similar... .like twins))

You can take a look at one of most intresting russian full-size - Chaika.
It has V8 engine 5.5L and 3-speed auto tranny.

Some owners repaired Chaikas with original Ford or GM parts)))

Hey, thanks for that information.  I never knew that Russians produced any V8 engines for automobiles.  I know they had some damn good tanks back in WWII that challenged the German Tigers though.

The best russian tank was T-34 with V12 diesel engine

[Soaring]

Yeah, that's the one I am talking about.  Hellava tank.
