Thats what I was thinking, Probally is a Eastern European coachbuilt, I would roll the shit out of it.

Definitely Kubel-based as opposed to Barndoor based, with the presence of the RGB's AND trans tunnel (or what's left of them rather :( )
Wouldn't it be crazy if this turned out to predate the first T2 prototypes?

The documents seem to be in Serbian(?), not Russian and from what I seem to able to understand, the chasis number is stated as Z-017331 which kind of look like it may correspond to early 1943, and the engine number is mentioned as 2-10132 (?). Horsepower is stated as 24, so pretty clear on the Kubel running gear.

Interesting that the date July 29, 1960 is all over the document. This could be the first date of registration of this vehicle???

Split screen buses were a 10 year old design by this time.

Looks like it could use a new throw out bearing and starter bushing.
