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, Hyundai and Kia get best word-of-mouth recommendations in US

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Forget advertising, incentives and, yes, even our excellently crafted vehicle reviews, sometimes the best way for automakers to sell cars is still good ol' fashioned word of mouth. In an attempt to measure this "word of mouth" power, The Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm, has created a new study called the Brand Advocacy Index (BAI). The index takes a look at how various industries perform from person to person. Those industries include automotive, smartphones, grocery, mobile telecommunications and banking.
The study polled more than 32,000 individuals across Europe and in the US to come up with the top 55 brands in these various industries. On the automotive side of things, the top brands in the US were Honda, Hyundai and Kia, all tied at 63 percent. On a global scale, Volkswagen and Toyota scored the highest with a 65-percent BAI rating (both in France). The average BAI for auto industry players tallied 50 percent.
As for companies in other industries, Apple's iPhone was the index's top-rated smartphone, Trader Joe's was the highest recommended grocery store, Virgin was sat atop the mobile telecom industry and USAA was the top retail bank. Scroll down for the full press release on the new study.

Honda launches new JDM Odyssey, Mugen chips in [w/video]

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Honda has just released its new Odyssey minivan for the Japanese Domestic Market, and it has plenty of style and room for up to eight people. Honda factory tuning company Mugen will also offer performance and styling parts for the fifth-generation minivan.
The Odyssey is offered in B and G trim with a 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter I-VTEC four-cylinder mated to a continuously variable transmission with optional paddle shifters and seven 'speeds.' The more upscale Odyssey Absolute features sportier styling, and but all models are available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The interior follows a "modern suite" design concept inspired by luxury hotels, with wood trim and comfortable-looking seats. Additionally, customers can choose between models with a lift-up second-row seat or a lift-up front passenger seat. Honda highlights the Odyssey's low floor height and high ceiling, which accentuates the spacious interior. The low floor also endows the minivan with a step height of 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) at the rear sliding door to afford easy entry.
