Welcome! You are bidding on an amazing 1st Generation Civic. The paint is original, the engine is original, I have the original window sticker and owners manual from the original dealer. Everything you can think of mechanically has been replaced and restored. I've taken this car to several body shops because my dream was to restore the vehicle back to showroom condition and they were all of the same opinion that the car is worth more in its present condition than if I were to have it painted. It's won two competitions at the Maryland International Raceway because most people didn't even know what it was. It's virtually rust free, one small area under the front left fender light, two small areas under the left passenger pop out window and that's all. There is no rust under the vehicle, which is amazing for it's age. It's certainly a head turner!!! I've taken much pride in keeping it as original as possible and there's nothing fast and the furious about it. Sounds the same as it did in 1976 and has 52-54 horse power.


The original engine was re-manufactured by Jasper a few years back and only has about 1500 miles on it. The odometer says 55,000 miles but does not go to the hundred thousands. I've had it inspected and some say the mileage is accurate, others say if it isn't then it has a maximum of 155,000 miles. The VIN and Engine ID on the original window sticker match, this is something that you just won't find for a car like this. 
I've owned the vehicle since April 2007 and am the 3rd owner.
The radiator has been re-cored.
The exhaust, to include the muffler has been replaced all the way to the flange.
The brakes were just done, to include the front pads and calipers, the shoes and wheel cylinders and the master cylinder. 
New alternator, water pump, timing belt, clutch, clutch cable, distributor, cap and rotor, battery, tires (12"), horn, NGK spark plugs and wires, ignition coil, all belts and hoses. You name it, it's been replaced and in perfect running condition.

The only thing not original is the stereo which was installed by the previous owner and the carburetor. I have the original carb with the original air cleaner that will go along with the sale. 

I bought the vehicle sight unseen with only 5 pictures to go by for $3750, had it shipped from Washington State to Maryland and have since put 4 times that amount into it. A real Honda Civic enthusiasts dream!!!

I'm a private seller. Please only serious inquiries only. Please do not contact me to help me attempt to sell this vehicle or try to scam me in any way. I do not want to sell the Civic but the times are what they are and I need the money.

Thank you very much for looking and if you have further questions, please feel free to contact me!

Honda celebrates the life of Ayrton Senna the best way it knows how

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Honda is returning to Formula One in 2015 with McLaren, and when that engine maker and that F1 constructor are mentioned together, two other words are never far behind: Ayrton Senna. There are engine suppliers, constructors and drivers that have bigger numbers, but those three form a triumvirate that came close to defining F1 in the eighties.
Honda Japan has produced a commercial called Sound of Honda that celebrates Senna at a race that turned out to be one of the most momentous of his career for good and bad reasons: the 1989 grand prix at Suzuka where he won, then was stripped of, the driver's championship.
The commercial has a terrifically simple premise - there's no CG, no old footage of Senna, no one says a word, it's just sound. And it's pretty damn good. Check it out below.

MotorWeek checks out two sides of the '90s Japanese car scene

Sat, Feb 6 2016

MotorWeek's Retro Reviews let you feel nostalgic about a huge range of classic cars, and the latest two releases offer a look at two very different sides of the Japanese car market in the 1990s. The video above shows off tuned examples of the Mazda RX-7 and Nissan 300ZX. Check out the clip below to remember the 1997 Honda CR-V, if you want to reminisce about something a little more utilitarian. The RX-7 and 300ZX were among the era's best Japanese sports cars, and these examples' suspension and engine overhauls gave them an extra boost. Peter Farrel Supercars tunes the Mazda, and the vibrant yellow paint and body kit make it look ready for an episode of Initial D. The updated powertrain stands up to the mean styling and gets the RX-7 to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. The Stillen 300ZX GTZ sports a giant wing, and new turbos take the output to 465 hp. It sprints to 60 in 4.9 seconds. The CR-V sits on the opposite end of the automotive spectrum as the tuned RX-7 and 300ZX, but it's even more important in a historical sense. The Honda (along with the Toyota RAV4 and others) was among the progenitors of today's mega-popular compact crossovers. These early examples set the foundation for offering buyers a utilitarian vehicle in a comfortable package with good fuel economy at an affordable price. The CR-V had some quirky charm, too, like the removable picnic table hidden in the cargo floor. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Honda recalls 2012-13 Fit Sport models over stability control issue

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Honda is recalling 43,782 examples of the 2012 and 2013 Fit Sport in the US and close to 2,000 more in Canada. During federal compliance testing it was discovered that the software for the Vehicle Stability Assist allows an excessive tilt angle before applying the brakes to prevent a crash. The issue only affects Fit Sports equipped with a certain kind of tire.
Honda will notify owners in mid-May, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers to have the stability control software updated free of charge. There's a press release from Honda below with more details.
