The UAZ-469 is an off-road military light utility vehicle manufactured by UAZ since 1971. It was used by Soviet and other Warsaw Pact armed forces, as well as paramilitary units in Eastern Bloc countries.

In the Soviet Union, it also saw widespread service in state organizations that needed a robust and durable off-road vehicle. Standard military versions included seating for seven personnel.

We have a 1990 UAZ-469 here at Skyway Classics that has been completely restored and is powered by a 2.4 Turbo Diesel backed by a 4-speed manual transmission.

Mechanical

Our 1990 has a very potent engine in it. It has a 2.4 Turbo Diesel that is plenty strong backed by a 4-speed manual transmission with all sitting in the restored, painted, and very detailed engine compartment.

Power is transferred by the 2-speed transfer putting the power of this 4WD to the ground via the polished mag wheels and large offroad tires.

Interior

The interior follows the functional aesthetic of the exterior, with black seats and a basic set of instrumentation for minimal distractions. The gear lever for the manual transmission is floor-mounted, as are two more levers for the four-wheel-drive system and transfer case. A heater is present too, which was a necessity in the cold Russian winters.

It even has jump seats in the rear and a soft top.

Exterior

Russian vehicles, particularly those built during Soviet times have a very distinctive look, where functionality takes precedence. This 1990 UAZ 469 is no different, with its Military Green exterior paintwork and short overhangs.

These vehicles were designed to brave the harsh Russian terrain and weather conditions and were thus built to be as simple and purposeful as possible. As the pictures show, this is a four-door convertible.

The front windows, top half of the doors and canvas top are all removable, providing an interesting open-air experience.

Conclusion

The restored UAZ-469 we have here at Skyway Classics presents two great advantages as it is able to drive in virtually any terrain and it is very easy to repair. The vehicle was originally not available for purchase by the public, but many were sold as surplus to private owners. You surely won’t pull up alongside one in traffic anywhere and it sure does attract attention wherever you do take it to. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions!
