At one time, such cars were a common “homemade” practice in fleets, but they have barely survived to this day. They served to tow buses and trolleybuses – for this the truck was shortened and equipped with a slewing crane.
This “MazZil” exists in one copy. In the 1980s, it was assembled from decommissioned ZIL-157 and MAZ-200 and served faithfully in the Filevsky Park of Mosgortrans until the 2010s. The car came to the Moscow Transport Museum in deplorable condition: repeatedly and roughly repainted, with a dead engine, missing body elements and no winch.
Now, after a full restoration, it has body panels rebuilt from the ground up and a gleam of fresh orange paint. Soon “MazZil” can be seen at museum exhibitions and festivals.
