Gulfport, Mississippi, United States

No Reserve Auction.  Car Will Not Run, Rolling Chassis Must Be Shipped On Flatbed Or Towed.

This low mileage garaged completely original southern Honda Accord is in excellent condition except for the engine - a cylinder wall cracked when the engine overheated because the thermostat failed closed.  Many engine components are in excellent condition - carburetor, starter motor (reconditioned), a/c compressor (remanufactured), and more.

Since I acquired this car in April 2012 from the adult son of the original owner, I had replaced both axles and CV joints with new, not rebuilt ones.  New a/c including the compressor, new radiator, rebuilt starter motor, new aftermarket radio, cd player, new tires, brake booster, master cylinder, rear brake shoes, front pads and rotors.  The car is in immaculate condition and everything worked, including the cruise control, until the engine overheated and cracked the block.  The paint is original.  There is no sun deterioration anywhere, including the dash, rear shelf, and rear seat tops.

The car has spent twenty-five of its thirty years, in central Mississippi - no rust.

Other than the freakish thermostat failure that destroyed the engine, this car needed absolutely nothing.  The interior is pristine even to the original Accord floor mats.  Everything is virtually like new. 

I will not part-out the car.  It is only for sale as a single unit;   however, if someone has a good usable complete EK1 engine from a 1979 - 83 accord, or 1979 - 82 Prelude, and wants to sell it, then I'm interested.  To reach me about buying this car, or selling an engine, call or text,
228-669-7055 from 8:00 AM until 9:00 PM Central Time.

Honda gunning for world's longest Rose Parade float

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Honda has participated in the annual Rose Parade for the past 53 years and returns this year as the presenting sponsor for the fourth time running. But it's not satisfied merely putting its name on the event; Honda intends to lead from the front with what promises to be the longest float in the parade's long history.
The float, previewed in the rendering above, will measure 274 feet long, as tall as 30 feet high, as wide as 18 feet and weighing a whopping 50 tons with 8,980 flowers covering its surface. The train will be led by a locomotive designed to mimic the Acura NSX, with Asimo at the wheel. The second car in the train showcases a Honda engine, followed by a robotic arm, and, for the first time in the parade's history, a pair of 30-foot LED monitors displaying images of spectators lining the parade route. A caboose inspired by the Honda Jet will pick up the rear.
Oh, and in case you're wondering just who Honda will be knocking off the record books with its 274-foot train of roses, that would be... also Honda. The Japanese company set the record in 2005 with a 207-foot float. Scope out the details in the press release below and click the image above to view in high resolution.

Honda 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

The 2003 Cog commercial from Honda may have been named one of the best car commercials of all time, but an all-new spot called Hands looks to be even more entertaining even if it's digitally enhanced. The two-minute video - which starts and ends with a nod to Cog - highlights just about all facets of Honda's universe of products from passenger cars to racecars, the HondaJet to leaf blowers, motorcycles, ATVs and even Asimo.
Celebrating 65 years of innovation, the advertisement is as informative as it is amusing, and it even injects a little humor, too, like a glass of water being squeezed from the FCX Clarity. We just hope that the 1:10 mark of the video isn't hinting at a CR-V Convertible. We're not sure when Hands will air or if we'll see it on television here in the US, but the video is posted below; as an added bonus, we've also included the video for Cog.

Half of Chinese car buyers won't shop Japanese over hard feelings

Mon, May 26 2014

The hard feelings between China and Japan is no real secret. Besides modern-day disputes, the two countries have had a long-running enmity that dates back to well before the atrocities of World War II. All things considered, then, it shouldn't be a shock that half of Chinese car buyers wouldn't consider a Japanese car. This survey, conducted by Bernstein Research, found that 51 percent of 40,000 Chinese consumers wouldn't even consider a Japanese car – which, again, isn't really surprising, when you consider stories like this. According to Bernstein, the most troubling thing is the location of these sentiments – smaller, growing cities where the population is going to need sets of wheels. We imagine it wouldn't be as big of an issue in traffic-clogged Shanghai or Beijing, but these small cities are going to become a major focus for automakers. "Nationalistic feelings are an impediment. [Japanese] premium brands will struggle," analyst Max Warburton wrote in a research note, according to The Wall Street Journal. Things will improve for Japanese makes, although China will remain a challenge, with Warburton writing, "the one thing that comes out most clearly is that most Chinese really want a German car. While we expect Japanese brands to continue to recover market share this year, ultimately the market will belong to the Germans." There are a few other insights from the study. According to WSJ, Japanese brands are viewed better than Korean brands, and they're seen as more comfortable than the offerings from Germany or the US, despite the fact that everyone in China apparently wants a German car. This is a tough position for the Japanese makes to be in, as there's really not a lot they can do to win favor with Chinese buyers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly as the importance of the PRC continues to increase year after year.
