Thank you for looking at my 1978 Honda Civic 1200. This car is an honest survivor, almost all original as near as I can tell. I did put a brown fender on the right side as you can see in the pictures. She really runs nice and body is mostly straight and gets a LOT of attention when I'm driving it. Car just turned over 120k miles. I bought the car in 2007 from my neighbor. He said he bought it from the son of the original owner and it was just used locally as it sounded like the original owner was older, he thinks 120k was correct as well. Since this only has a 5-digit odometer, I cannot 100% guarantee it's not 220k, but if you look at the car, it doesn't look like it has that much wear.

This car still has the original spare tire and the rim it's on looks brand new. Since I have owned the car, I have replaced the brake master cylinder and rubber brake lines at the wheels, fixed the radio and installed a new antenna. I think the radio might be original as well, but not sure, but it works nicely and the cassette player does work as well. I also put in a new head cover gasket (NOT a head gasket). The carpets are still nice in the car and overall it's pretty clean. As you can see in the photos, the seats need covers or to be reupholstered. I was also able to locate some very nice clean bumpers that really made a huge difference. All exterior lights work including the reverse lights. I have had it garaged since I have owned it. The paint is starting to oxidize a bit, but you can definitely still see some shiny-ness under that. Looks good for a 35-year old car that did not come with clear coat!

What it needs:

-Upholstery (rear bench looks pretty good, but all other need replacement)

-Carb needs to be rebuilt (currently have it set higher so it won't stall)

-May need new thermostat or possibly radiator.

-Some rust in the engine compartment at the front on the inner fenders. There is also minor surface rust on Right Quarter Panel where there is minor collision damage (VERY little elsewhere)

-Has a small oil leak from around the head cover gasket (NOT head gasket)

-Drivers door looks like someone broke into it. Lock works, but sheet metal is damaged around the key hole and may need to be fixed to look better.

This is a fun little car and won't need much to be a good reliable daily driver. I have run the car while parked and I noticed that it started to get hot, but I did NOT allow it to overheat. I have driven this car many times and have no concerns about it's mechanical state. Since it turned 120k, you may want to consider a timing belt (factory recommendation).

A few special items on this vehicle. First off, it comes with a special Honda WOODEN steering wheel and the VIN ends with 90000. This is the trunk model, does NOT have a hatchback.

I have tried to be as thorough in my description as possible, however it is a 35 year old vehicle, so unfortunately I cannot give any kind of guarantee. Is available as is, where is and buyer would be responsible for pick up or arranging transportation. Vehicle is located in Spokane, WA and I would be happy to bring it to a shipper in this city.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Acura NSX and David Lee Roth wail together in Super Bowl spot

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Super Bowl 50 is just over a week away, but carmakers are already rolling out their big ads. Acura's newly released commercial uses the screams and moans from Van Halen's David Lee Roth and the song Runnin' with the Devil to build excitement about the upcoming supercar. As Van Halen plays, the NSX evolves from a slab of metal into the turbocharged, hybrid coupe. In a patriotic touch, the commercial uses red, white, and blue to subtly communicate the supercar's US development and production. It's a clever ad, sure, but we wish it showed more of the new NSX's high-performance capability. There's never a bad time to listen to some Van Halen, though. The video above is the 30-second Super Bowl commercial, which airs during the first quarter. However, the clip below is a one-minute version that lets the visuals breathe more. The longer cut is the better one, but Acura's choice is understandable given the expense of Super Bowl ad time. Acura Rolls Out American-made NSX Supercar with Super Bowl Commercial Set to Van Halen Classic, Runnin' with the Devil Jan 29, 2016 - TORRANCE, Calif. Iconic Van Halen song infuses high-voltage energy into NSX rollout Comprehensive activation includes social media sweepstakes, enabling consumers to experience the NSX Acura is one of the first brands to use Twitter Conversational Video to launch Super Bowl spot Acura is showcasing the next generation NSX, the only supercar made in America1, to the soundtrack of an iconic American rock song in a new commercial that will debut during Super Bowl 50. The high-energy vocal effects of the Van Halen classic Runnin' with the Devil provide the powerful beat for the Acura commercial that will appear during the first quarter of the big game. The spot is a showcase of the Precision Crafted Performance brand direction that is core to the Acura brand and vividly represented in the NSX supercar. The new Acura Super Bowl commercial is posted to Acura.com and Acura social media channels for previewing before the big game and is augmented with a series of unique social media activations and live experiences, including one of the first applications of Twitter Conversational Video to launch a Super Bowl spot. "In our Acura commercial, we wanted to convey the excitement of the NSX to a big Super Bowl audience," said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of Acura.

Honda asking used-car buyers to sign liability document [w/poll]

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

New cars under recall must be repaired before a dealer can sell them but used cars are under no such mandate.
When it comes to informing the car-buying public about potential safety hazards on used vehicles, there are two emerging schools of thought among used-car dealers.

Honda reveals three new turbo VTEC engines, including Civic Type R 2.0L

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

It's fair to say that in recent years, Honda has been viewed as a laggard when it comes to engine and gearbox development, seemingly missing the boat on direct-injection, forced-induction and high gear-count transmissions, among other things. But under its Earth Dreams banner, the Japanese automaker is showing new vigor, with the latest proof being this trio of just-announced powerplants.
Measuring 1.0-liters, 1.5-liters and 2.0-liters in displacement, this array of three- and four-cylinder engines boasts turbocharging and direct-injection along with the latest iteration of Honda's famed VTEC variable valve timing hardware. "Most suitable for small-to-medium-sized vehicles," the largest engine is said to be good for more than 276 horsepower and will slot into the eagerly awaited Civic Type R, iconic red valve cover and all.
Unfortunately, few other details about the hot Civic's engine or any of the others are being made public at this time, and there's no official word about the engines coming to North American in the Type R or any other model. Given that all the engines are complaint with stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, they figure to be clean enough, and Honda says that these have been developed as global powerplants, so we'd be shocked if they didn't come ashore in new or updated products over the next few years... even if they leave the CTR on the boat.
