This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 1978 Honda Civic CVCC 3-door hatchback with 72,169 miles.

I brought this car to Ohio from Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest where it had been since new.  Consequently, it has never seen road salt (illegal in WA and OR) and has never been subjected to corrosive salt of any kind.  This car is rust-free and completely solid and clean in every way, including underneath.  You will probably not find another 1st Generation Civic with NO RUST like this one.

This is probably one of the nicest, cleanest and best-preserved examples of this car in the country.  I do not exaggerate when I say this is a superb example.  

This car is very original and has not been grotesquely modified or hacked up into someone's idea of a "race hatch".  This is probably as close to an original condition 1978 Civic as you'll find.  It has been repainted, and a quality job was done.  This paint is very good, glossy and in very good condition.  A nice popup sunroof was added long ago.  The engine is an updated EM1 1500 with an electric choke.  The original engine was an ED3 CVCC 1500.  

The car has a factory 5-speed transmission, plus it has the wooden steering wheel, shift knob and dash plus the deluxe gauge package.  The wheels are steel 13" with chrome beauty rings and the Honda center caps. The tires are nearly new.

I cannot overemphasize the significance of the fact that this car has never seen road salt since it was new.  This is a RUST FREE car- even the underside, the floorboards and the pinch welds are clean and look nearly new.

The interior of the car is original.  The seats are in very good condition; the fabric isn't ripped up and the cushioning material is still firm.  The carpet is original, and it does show some wear including a few minor wear holes.

The gauges including tachometer, engine temperature and fuel gauge are working accurately.

The engine is smooth, powerful and runs well.  The transmission shifts perfectly and the clutch is strong.  This little car drives beautifully for a 36-year old car.  

The exterior looks very, very good.  The repaint was a quality job, and the body is straight, clean and rust-free.  The body and paint are really good-looking.

This car would present itself respectably at any car show or event, particularly at a gathering of vintage Hondas.  I have personally never encountered another 1st Generation Civic in this sort of condition.  I think this might be the finest example of this car currently offered for sale in the country, and probably one of the nicest, period. 

This car turns heads every place you drive it- nobody has seen one of these cars in a decade or two, and you get thumbs-ups and questions everywhere you drive. 

The title is a clean and clear OH title in hand and ready to transfer and the mileage is indicated on the title as ACTUAL. 

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home if you wanted.  However, I'd recommend with a car of this age and rarity that you have it shipped if you're going a long way- in that case please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.

Questions, please email me or call me at 440 339 4341.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Honda and Michael Bolton wish you happy holidays, social-style

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

There's nothing like landing a big celebrity for a high-profile advertising campaign to say to the world "Our brand has still got it!" Dodge, for instance, has been getting huge publicity by landing Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, to pitch its entire lineup on TV and on YouTube. Honda meanwhile, has reeled in the biggest fish in the 1990s Soft Pop category, the ineffable Michael Bolton. (We're assuming that Kenny G was booked.) We don't see how this can backfire, Honda.
In an effort to promote its annual holiday-season sales event, Honda has tapped the multitalented Bolton - he sings, acts and stares longingly at you from across the room - to dangle himself as a prize for ardent social media users. That's right, for the next few days (November 18 to 22), people that use the hashtag #XOXOBolton on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Vine, will be entered to win one-of-a-kind "musical greeting cards" from the now very blond crooner.
Not enough Bolton for you? Don't worry, Honda's got Michael booked for six TV commercials to air throughout the holiday season, too. Scroll down to get lost in Bolton's luxuriant eyes watch the promotional video from Honda.
