"Moskvich 434": technical characteristics, photo

Each of us saw such a car as"Moskvich". Now these machines slowly go down in history. "Moskvich 434" is no exception. It is not possible to find a truly "live" copy. Often many associate these car brands with the 412th model or the more or less modern "Svyatogor". But in today's article, we'll talk about a car like "Moskvich 434". Overview of the model and its technical characteristics - later in this article.

Characteristic

This car is a very rare specimen. It was produced not so long as his "colleagues". So, for the first time "Moskvich 434" appeared in 1968 year. Serial production of these cars was discontinued after five years, in the 73rd year. The assembly was carried out at the Leninsky Komsomol Automobile Plant. Also, the car was made at the plant "IZH". However, as the car owners said, the assembly quality at AZLK was an order of magnitude higher, despite the fact that the parts were the same.

Design

The machine was produced in a single body - thisvan. And the rear part of the luggage compartment was tightly closed. The exterior of the car is made according to the canons of the 70's. To evaluate the appearance of the car "Moskvich 434" you can on the photo below.

A characteristic feature of the van is the "horns" on thethe hood. This arrangement of the side mirrors was used on Japanese old-school cars, with a true right-hand drive. But today it's not about them. The machine is made quite simply and practical. In those days, no one could think about how to make a dynamic and expressive design. It is a working machine that should serve the good of the Soviet people. So it was. The car was used for transportation of small household goods and other goods. Also note that most of these vans were used to deliver letters at the post office. By the way, the successor of the car "Moskvich 434" (modification 2715) received the headlights from the 412-th model. The car began to look more modern. Regarding our model, the design of the car has long passed into the category of retro. By the way, on some cars the chrome-plated shine has remained and the headlights have not faded. That's what the phrase "real Soviet quality" means.

What are the features?

According to the technical passport, this specimenbelonged to the category of cargo-passenger cars of small class with a body van. The machine came to replace the 433rd model. The main difference is a new engine. The same was installed on "Moskvich 412". Now its volume was one and a half liters. Previously, these machines were installed engines with a volume of 1.4 liters. Years passed, and the model required changes. So, the new development was called "Moskvich 434". Photos of this car you can see in our article.

By the way, the back door of Moskvich wasup to 72 years old. The latest versions of the car were already equipped with a solid "lyada". And the rear lights were left from the same 433rd "Moskvich". Also, the car was equipped with chrome caps, which gave the car a more attractive appearance.

Moskvich: technical specifications

As we said earlier, the main featureThis model - the presence of a new engine. Now its volume has increased to one and a half liters. Also, the car was fitted with a more refined gearbox. This allowed the transportation of heavier loads weighing up to 400 kilograms (with two people in the cabin). But still the number of speeds was small (only four). If we talk in more detail about the technical characteristics, the engine has a linear arrangement of the cylinders. There are only four of them. The maximum engine power was 75 horsepower. And it was achieved already at 5800 rpm. To achieve a good torque, you had to heavily load the motor. The equipped weight of the car "Moskvich 434" (pick-up is not taken into account) is exactly 1000 kilograms.

Suspension

The car has a classic knot arrangement. This is the longitudinal arrangement of the engine, the propeller shaft and the rear axle. This arrangement was used on domestic cars until the appearance of "nine" and "eight".

If we talk about AZLK, the first front-wheel-drivecars were called "Moskvich 2141". Let's continue about our van. The wheel formula is 4x2 (there was only a rear-wheel drive). In front of the car is an independent spring suspension, bezkvornevaya, with a stamped crossbeam. Behind them were semi-elliptic springs. There are two on each side. They are the same as on the legendary "Volga" 24-series - almost unmade. Brake system - frankly rather weak. This is not surprising, because there were drum disks in front and behind. In addition, the car was loaded "to the eye". Total at a mass of almost one and a half tons of nodes and units worked continuously under load (including grip).

Other Features

Application of a more modern engine (for thoseyears) allowed to reduce fuel consumption. According to the passport data, it was 9 and a half liters per 100 kilometers. The car "Moskvich 434" characteristics of the dynamics were far from ideal. So, the maximum speed of the car is 115 kilometers per hour. Acceleration to hundreds took 19 seconds.

Dimensions of the body of the "Moskvich" 434-th modelstandard for the van. So, the length of the car is 4.2 meters, width - 1.48 m, height - 1.55 m. Ground clearance - 17 centimeters. This machine is quite enough. It easily overcomes dirt roads and back roads. "Moskvich" confidently drives through where the foreign cars are closed (even though it is a van body). With regard to the characteristics of control, the machine does notfar away from the 433rd model. The only thing that has improved comfort is the vacuum brake booster. Now the driver had to press the pedal less if necessary. In the rest, the car did not differ in a quiet interior or any maneuverability.

Export and modifications

In addition to the basic model, the car was produced in several modifications with the following marks:

• "Yu" - for the regions of the USSR with a hot climate. The machine was designed for operation in extremely high temperatures. The machine was not heated even at +40 degrees Celsius.
• "P" - for countries with left-hand traffic. The steering wheel, respectively, was on the right.

Separately it is necessary to talk about exportmodifications. "Muscovites" gathered not only in the Soviet Union, but also in Bulgaria, as well as in Belgium, where they can still be seen (most often in museums). By the way, in Belgium the car had the name Scaldia. As for the 412th "fellow", he repeatedly won prizes in rally racing. "Muscovites" were famous for their reliability and maintainability. And the 434th model is no exception.

A distinctive feature of this specimen is the presencered or beige interior. Usually in this color the export versions of the car were painted. However, such a color finish was repeatedly used on the "Moskvich" for the domestic market. Another interesting modification is the "Moskvich" pick-up. He meets even less often. This model was marked 2715. Most of the cars were exported to Finland, where it was called Elite PickUp.

Price

The urgency of buying such a car in ourtime remains a big question. Now it is hardly possible to find a worthy specimen, especially since there are difficulties with finding spare parts for it. Current buyers are often collectors who restore the data of the car or take them for a project. As for the cost, "Muscovites" are sold literally at the price of the blackberry - for $ 100-200, and with all the documents. Often, such cars are simply rotting in the streets, in courtyards or standing in the garage dead weight. By the way, now the scale model of the car "Moskvich 434" (blue, 1:43) is being sold.

The blue interior is a distinctive feature of this model. This "chip" was then adopted at the AvtoVAZ plant in the 1970s.

Conclusion

So, we found out what thecargo van "Moskvich 434". As you can see, the car is very rare. The only reason to take it - under restoration, as a collection. To operate such a car "on everyday" does not make any sense.
