The ZIL-133G40 trucks have left state storage and are now offered for sale in several regions across Russia. Manufactured between 1989 and 2001, these vehicles spent their entire lives in heated hangars, preserving their mechanical condition. Prospective buyers in the Moscow, Volgograd, Saratov, and Yaroslavl regions can inquire about availability. The asking price for these units falls within 695,000 to 700,000 rubles.
Each truck is offered with a package that includes spare parts and a diesel fuel reserve. These ZiLs come without vehicle passports, but factory documents accompany them. They are equipped with a 185 horsepower eight-cylinder diesel engine and dry-charged batteries, ready for inspection and potential restoration projects.
The ZIL-133G40 represents a modern line continuation of the legendary Soviet three-axle crocodile family, following the ZIL-133GYa model. It reaches a top speed of about 85 kilometers per hour, and its body design features three folding sides to facilitate loading. The truck has a load capacity of 10 tons, making it suitable for a range of heavy-duty tasks and nostalgic restorations alike.
