1983 Honda Accord Sedan 4-door 1.8l Needs Engine Beautiful Body And Interior on 2040-cars

Year:1983 Mileage:134851
Location:

Gulfport, Mississippi, United States

Gulfport, Mississippi, United States

No Reserve Auction.  Car Will Not Run, Rolling Chassis Must Be Shipped On Flatbed Or Towed.

This low mileage garaged completely original southern Honda Accord is in excellent condition except for the engine - a cylinder wall cracked when the engine overheated because the thermostat failed closed.  Many engine components are in excellent condition - carburetor, starter motor (reconditioned), a/c compressor (remanufactured), and more.

Since I acquired this car in April 2012 from the adult son of the original owner, I had replaced both axles and CV joints with new, not rebuilt ones.  New a/c including the compressor, new radiator, rebuilt starter motor, new aftermarket radio, cd player, new tires, brake booster, master cylinder, rear brake shoes, front pads and rotors.  The car is in immaculate condition and everything worked, including the cruise control, until the engine overheated and cracked the block.  The paint is original.  There is no sun deterioration anywhere, including the dash, rear shelf, and rear seat tops.

The car has spent twenty-five of its thirty years, in central Mississippi - no rust.

Other than the freakish thermostat failure that destroyed the engine, this car needed absolutely nothing.  The interior is pristine even to the original Accord floor mats.  Everything is virtually like new. 

I will not part-out the car.  It is only for sale as a single unit;   however, if someone has a good usable complete EK1 engine from a 1979 - 83 accord, or 1979 - 82 Prelude, and wants to sell it, then I'm interested.  To reach me about buying this car, or selling an engine, call or text,
228-669-7055 from 8:00 AM until 9:00 PM Central Time.

Honda, Top Gear working on 130-mph lawn mower

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

We're not even sure they've got a blade of Kentucky Bluegrass to cut, but the folks at Top Gear have gone ahead and started building what will become, if they're successful, the world's fastest lawn mower. Actually, it appears Top Gear is not doing much of the design and assembly work at all, instead having solicited help from experts at Honda and Team Dynamics, which oversees the automaker's touring car efforts.
What the three are working on is a riding lawnmower with a 110-hp engine that can reach 60 miles per hour in four seconds and trim turf at speeds up to 130 mph. If they succeed, such a maximum velocity would put them well ahead of the current record for the world's fastest lawnmower, which is 96.529 mph set by Bobby Cleveland and his Snapper race mower at the Bonneville Salt Flats in September of 2010. Top Gear hasn't said whether or not it will officially go after Cleveland's record, but the build will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Top Gear magazine and is scheduled to be completed by June 17, so we may learn what this maniacal mower's true purpose is then.
According to TG's report on how the build is going, as well as the video of it being fired up (literally) for the first time below, there aren't many actual mower parts left on this machine. What started out as a Honda HF2620 mower now sports wheels and tires from a racing quad, a back axle from a go-kart, a steering rack from a Morris Minor and a 1000cc engine from a Honda VTR1000F sport bike. All that remains from the original mower are the pedals and body panels; even the steel cutting deck has been replaced with a lighter fiberglass version. And blades? This mower will be bladeless, instead using two electric motors to spin lengths of brake cable like a weed whacker.

Nissan Rogue gives brand rare monthly sales lead over Honda

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

The five top-selling brands in the automotive industry are usually Ford, Toyota, Chevy, Honda and Nissan, in that order. This lineup emerged intact when counting a year's worth of sales for 2013, and there was no reason to expect it would change at the beginning of 2014. But it did. Thanks to surging sales of its all-new Rogue, Nissan managed to pull ahead of Honda to become the fourth best-selling auto brand in January 2014, selling 81,472 units (an increase of 10.41 percent compared to January 2013) to Honda's 80,808 (a decrease of 3.96 percent).
The Rogue led the way for Nissan, contributing an additional 4,880 units in January compared to the same month last year - a 54.5-percent increase for a grand total of 13,831 units. But the Rogue had help, with the Frontier pickup adding an extra 2,307 units (an 87.9-percent increase), the Juke an extra 1,081 units (a 45.8-percent increase), the Altima an extra 1,051 units (a 4.9-percent increase) and the Maxima an additional 983 units (a 32.9-percent increase). Honda, meanwhile, was hurt by falling sales of the Accord (down 13.9 percent) and Pilot (down 7.6 percent), and stagnant sales of the Civic.
Honda, however, should take pride in the fact that it's luxury division, Acura, outsold Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division, last month - 10,823 units sold to 8,998. That margin of victory was large enough to keep the parent company of American Honda ahead of Nissan North America for the month of January.

Honda recalls select 2013 Accords over fuel tank neck

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have announced a recall for 1,659 model-year 2013 Honda Accord vehicles. The affected Accords are Low-Emission Vehicle II rated cars manufactured between January 15 and April 5 of 2013.
The recall is pursuant to a fuel tank neck that might be out of specification, and the variance could result in the fuel pump not properly sealing with the fuel tank. As you might guess, a bad seal here could result in a gasoline leak, posing a fire risk. As of this writing, there have been no reports of fires because of this problem.
Honda will reach out to owners of affected 2013 Accords, directing dealers to replace the cars' fuel tank, nut and O-ring gasket. Expect the notifications when the recall begins in earnest on August 1. FInd the full NHTSA press release below.
