1978 Honda Civic Cvcc- Rust-free, Super Clean, 72,000 Miles, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Willoughby, Ohio, United States
|
This is a NO RESERVE listing. 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. |

Honda announces 2015 Pilot Special Edition
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Honda doesn't have any exciting new mechanical or aesthetic changes for the 2015 Pilot eight-passenger crossover, but it is adding a new trim level to give families a compromise between the EX and EX-L models.
The new Special Edition trim is available on either the front-wheel or all-wheel drive versions of the Pilot, and it adds Pewter Gray aluminum wheels, a power moonroof, a rear seat entertainment DVD system and Sirius XM radio. Prices come to $33,950 for the two-wheel drive version, after the $830 destination charge, or $35,550 for all-wheel drive after destination.
Prices for the rest of the trims are up $200 over last year, and they all still come standard with remote entry, a rearview camera and Class III trailer hitch. Power is still provided by a 3.5-liter V6 with 250 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque with a five-speed automatic. Fuel economy is unchanged as expected with front-wheel drive models rated at 18 miles per gallon city, 25 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, and four-wheel drive models make 1 mpg less at 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. Scroll down to read the official release.
Acura NSX bodywork to be sheathed in zirconium e-coat, fewer paint layers
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what they can do, but there's more to it than that. Advanced platforms allow a company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with Autoline host John McElroy right here.
Honda's U.S. Plants Build Ten Million Accords, 20 Million Total Vehicles
Fri, Mar 21 2014The ten millionth American-built Honda Accord rolled off the assembly line Friday at the Japanese automaker's plant in Marysville, Ohio, according to Autoblog. Honda is celebrating not only the Accord, which is the seventh best selling nameplate of all time, but also an accumulative 20 million Hondas built in the U.S. since the company first started manufacturing at Marysville in November 1982. Honda was the first Japanese automaker to gamble on American manufacturing. Now, 94 percent of all Hondas sold in the U.S are American-built. They are made in facilities in Ohio, Alabama and Indiana. Honda's U.S. plants manufactured 1.3 million vehicles last year - a company record. Honda currently builds the best-selling Civic and Accord, as well as the Crosstour, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and Ridgeline in the U.S. Acura, Honda's luxury brand, also builds cars at the American plants, including the ILX, TL, RDX and MDX.
