Seller's comments about 1978' Wartburg 353

Hello, I am presenting to the world a vehicle popularly known as Honeker's revenge, which is a stinking and smoky Mixol-smoking Wartburg model 353, stored under a blanket in the garage. Year: 1978 Mileage: 35,000 km Capacity: 992 cm³ Fuel type: petrol Gearbox: manual Power: 50 HP Mixol refill - the smell of childhood. Wartburg 353 with 1978. A model with a radiator behind the engine, i.e. the old type. Wheels, i.e. rims with studs, adapted to sun type hubcaps. Wide seats without headrests. Gears in the steering wheel - the cheapest car for someone who wants to switch gears this way. I have a lot of new parts. The car without any major investments. I have documents from Polmozosta and a few tidbits from the previous owner. The car was very modern for those times. History: Wartburg 353 debuted in 1966 as a successor to the 312 model. It retained the 3-cylinder two-stroke engine, but received a completely new body, in line with the stylistic trends of the time and modern, although still mounted on a frame. It remained in its original form, with chrome bumpers and a chrome radiator grille, until 1982, and this is the example offered in this advertisement. What can enchant you in Wartburg? Some will say that the gears are in the steering wheel. Others say it has a two-stroke sound. For still others, just the smell is enough. There are also those who admit that they cannot afford true automotive legends, but the Wartburg has its own character and is reliable. Although for many years it was looked at with leniency, ridiculed for archaic technical solutions and called "Honecker's revenge", today it can be a real magnet on the street, attracting everyone's attention. I invite you to inspect it in Wałbrzych
