In the Samara region a GAZ-3105 Volga is advertised for sale. Available reports point to a tiny production run, with only a few units built by GAZ from 1987 through the mid-1990s, totaling around two hundred cars ever assembled. This makes the model one of the rarest in the Volga lineup.
The car continues to surface periodically on marketplace sites. About a year and a half ago, a similar Volga was sold in Kerch for 2 million rubles. The current listing on Avito.ru reflects a slightly older example, released in 1994 rather than 1996, priced about half a million rubles lower, and featuring a black body instead of the previous silver finish. These reference points help prospective buyers gauge the market for such scarce classic vehicles. (Source: Avito.ru listing attribution)
What distinguishes the GAZ-3105 is its executive sedan stance combined with all wheel drive and a robust 3.4-liter V8 engine developed by GAZ. The engine delivers about 170 horsepower when running on petrol. The car includes an automatic transmission and convenience features such as electric windows for both the front and rear doors, power steering, and climate control. The interior is finished with velour seat covers, and the odometer shows roughly 56 thousand kilometers. (Source: Avito.ru listing attribution)
From the seller notes, the Volga spent its early years in the legendary Special Purpose Garage, known as the GON, until 2003. It then passed to a second owner who kept it until 2006, after which the vehicle was stored in a dry garage for an extended period. The present owner acquired the car in 2020. The vehicle’s title lists more than four owners, and the seller states that the car has not been involved in an accident. (Source: Avito.ru listing attribution)
