Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This was going to be a keeper, so I spent good money on excellent prep and paint. Inside of vehicle *is* painted, but did not have time to do insides of doors and hatches before ran out of paint booth time. The dark, rich blue is not a Honda color, but the Anzko Nobel Sikkens color code is 480F3. (NOTE: The best idea of the actual paint color is the *darker* blue found on the full side view - my flash washed-out the color on the door and roof close-ups, making it look like an odd, lighter shade.) There are now scratches on the rear hatch (someone let it rub against something else), so although it's not critical, I'd re-shoot it to be as nice as the rest.

I had the channels and holes shaved (w/welded metal, not bondo), since I couldn't find good replacement for top rubber strip or side trim.

13" Tornado rims freshly sand-blasted, sitting on whitewall tires.

Aftermarket tilt-up sunroof. The headliner got oversprayed from insufficient masking.

Complete car, but I never tried to run it, since I was going to automatically swap-in a fully rebuild CVCC engine and add a 5-speed transmission. It has the original engine, 4-speed transmission & carburetor. (You still need to flush 6+ year old gasoline, replace old fuel lines, etc. which you should do to ANY car that is 36 years old. IMHO.)

The doors, hood and hatch are still removed from the painting, as you can see in the pictures. The carpeting was too worn, so it's gone, but these were the best wagon seats I came across, and the best of the door cards, which I collected after owning and parting several of these vehicles through the years.

Clean Oregon title. (I forgot to note actual mileage before posting - will have to read the odometer next time I visit her, and make a note if 80K is not correct.)

Being kept in SE Portland, at the home of a friend 11 miles from me. You're welcome to come look, test, etc., but we have to make arrangements.

I can give it to a car shipping service, but they need to be prepaid, and arranged on your end. My neighbor wants to set a one week limit for retrieval after you win the bidding. If you bring a tow dolly, I'll help you load her. (The doors are not back on, and they don't all fit inside, so you'll need extra space. I think/hope all nuts, bolts, door handles, window cranks, etc. are inside her, but it has moved a couple of times since it was disassembled for paint, so I can't guarantee it.)

Next Honda Ridgeline to eschew weird visuals, go mainstream?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Last year, Honda gave us the first furtive glance at the next-generation Ridgeline with a shadowy photo of it in profile (above), and it promised that the pickup would "come to market in less than two years." That would have put the truck on track for a 2015 debut, but the automaker hasn't said anything more officially about the new model since then.
A new report from USA Today might shed some new light on the mysterious model. It claims that the next Ridgeline has more conventional pickup styling than the original model in a bid to conquest some buyers. You can get that feeling from the sketch, which appears to showing something far more traditional than the unorthodox original Ridgeline, whose odd tapering bedsides terminated in a double-hinged tailgate.
USA Today goes on to claim that the new Ridgeline will go on sale around late 2015 or early 2016. That's a bit later than expected, but fits with an earlier rumor.

Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US

Sat, Sep 19 2015

Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.

Honda integrating Siri into select models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Honda has partnered up with Apple to bring Siri to the Accord, Acura RDX and ILX. Owners who have an iPhone running iOS 6 will be able to ask the software to perform a number of tasks via voice command using the vehicle's on board microphone and speaker systems. What's more, the tech will put the iPhone into an "eyes free" mode, which turns the screen off to help reduce distraction while driving. Honda says it has reworked its Bluetooth and HandsFreeLink systems to accommodate the Siri functionality. While the tech will only be available on three of the company's models right now, we imagine it won't be long before it shows up elsewhere.
As you may recall, Chevrolet integrated Siri into its products with vehicles like the Spark and Sonic, but Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler have also toyed with the tech to varying degrees. The seamless voice command seems to be light years ahead of the tech manufacturers are currently playing with. Check out the full press release from Honda below for more information.
