I am selling my 1975 Civic wagon -- somewhat reluctantly, since I've only had it about 8 months. But I have another 40-year-old Japanese wagon and I can't keep both.
This car drives pretty well and is fairly clean inside and out. It has some imperfections in the body, to be sure: a ding on the roof above the windshield and some damage to the front bumper.
If you know these cars, you know that they're not built for high performance. The engine, if I recall correctly, has 52 HP. It will drive at highway speeds, but as a daily driver, it's better for in-town use.
Since I got it, I've had the following work done:
- Front-end alignment
- Points and carburetor adjusted
- Front seats recovered and foam replaced
- Shoulder belts installed in back seat
It also has a new battery. The engine was rebuilt approximately five years ago. I have the repair records for that and a lot of other work that predates my ownership.
Overall, I'd say it's in good condition, considering its age. The upholstery, carpets, and dash are all good. Here are the known mechanical flaws:
- The driver's window regulator doesn't work properly. You can still raise and lower the window, but it takes extra effort.
- It needs one of the strut sleeves replaced. My mechanic told me that he found these listed on-line for approximately $90.
- The odometer has not worked since I have owned it (so I don't know the true mileage).
When I bought it, the previous owner included a 5-speed transmission, but I've never looked into installing it.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Average new-car fuel economy figures continue record pace
Sat, 13 Jul 2013Manufacturers are making more efficient cars and trucks; we've known that to be true for some time. Nearly every new car has some sort of trick to eke a few extra miles out of every gallon of fuel. Whether that be turbocharging, active aerodynamics or hybrid technology/electrified powertrains, the fact is that our vehicles are more efficient than ever before.
Thanks to a recent study by TrueCar, we've got fresh quantitative data to support the above statements. For the fourth month in a row, we've seen an improvement in national fleet fuel economy. We Americans are 0.7 miles per gallon more efficient than we were last month, and our cars are 1.6-mpg better than at this time last year. That said, we're still down on 2013's high, which was set back in January at 24.5 mpg.
Not only does this reflect the improved technologies in our vehicles, but it demonstrates a changing mindset among consumers, who are purchasing more efficient vehicles despite the relative stabilization of fuel prices. Every fuel-efficient model sold drives its manufacturers fleet average up.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
