This was going to be a keeper, so I spent good money on excellent prep and paint.  Inside of vehicle *is* painted, but did not have time to do insides of doors and hatches before ran out of paint booth time.  The dark, rich blue is not a Honda color, but the Anzko Nobel Sikkens color code is 480F3.  (NOTE: The best idea of the actual paint color is the *darker* blue found on the full side view - my flash washed-out the color on the door and roof close-ups, making it look like an odd, lighter shade.)  There are now scratches on the rear hatch (someone let it rub against something else), so although it's not critical, I'd re-shoot it to be as nice as the rest.


I had the channels and holes shaved (w/welded metal, not bondo), since I couldn't find good replacement for top rubber strip or side trim.

13" Tornado rims freshly sand-blasted, sitting on whitewall tires. 

Aftermarket tilt-up sunroof.  The headliner got oversprayed from insufficient masking.

Complete car, but I never tried to run it, since I was going to automatically swap-in a fully rebuild CVCC engine and add a 5-speed transmission.  It has the original engine, 4-speed transmission & carburetor.  (You still need to flush 6+ year old gasoline, replace old fuel lines, etc. which you should do to ANY car that is 36 years old.  IMHO.)

The doors, hood and hatch are still removed from the painting, as you can see in the pictures.  The carpeting was too worn, so it's gone, but these were the best wagon seats I came across, and the best of the door cards, which I collected after owning and parting several of these vehicles through the years.

Clean Oregon title.  (I forgot to note actual mileage before posting - will have to read the odometer next time I visit her, and make a note if 80K is not correct.)

Being kept in SE Portland, at the home of a friend 11 miles from me.  You're welcome to come look, test, etc., but we have to make arrangements.

I can give it to a car shipping service, but they need to be prepaid, and arranged on your end.  My neighbor wants to set a one week limit for retrieval after you win the bidding.  If you bring a tow dolly, I'll help you load her.  (The doors are not back on, and they don't all fit inside, so you'll need extra space.  I think/hope all nuts, bolts, door handles, window cranks, etc. are inside her, but it has moved a couple of times since it was disassembled for paint, so I can't guarantee it.)

2015 Honda CR-V performs poorly in Swedish AWD test [w/video]

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld has never been afraid to call out automakers when a vehicle fails one of its battery of examinations. Its famous Moose Test recently caught the Porsche Macan out, and a few years ago, there was a protracted argument between Teknikens Värld and Jeep over the performance of a Grand Cherokee in that evaluation.
This time, the 2015 Honda CR-V is raising the magazine's hackles, but it has nothing to do with avoiding a giant mammal. Snow is obviously an issue in Sweden, and Teknikens Värld has a test that challenges all-wheel drive systems in low-traction settings. On a slanted surface, the Swedes put the vehicles' front wheels on rollers with no traction and demands the rears accelerate away. The Honda couldn't do it. Teknikens Värld claims that it initially found the same result last year from the European CR-V, but Honda Sweden put out a software upgrade correcting the behavior in the test. This year, the CUV went back to failing.
While that's the magazine's side, Honda Sweden doesn't see the test as fair. In a statement to Teknikens Värld, the company explains the way the CUV's all-wheel drive system works. It also claims that the test isn't simulating a realistic situation. "In real conditions, regardless of the surface, there is a certain amount of friction always available for both front and rear wheels," the announcement says. "A scenario like the roll test with such a high difference in grip between the front and the rear wheels is highly unlikely."

2016 Honda HR-V officially finds its fit in Los Angeles

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Honda's extended tease for the 2016 HR-V compact crossover is finally over. The CUV debuted in Japan late, last year, and the company has trotted various versions to shows around the world since then. The time has finally come for all of the details about the US version to be revealed at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.
Honda has been keeping the HR-V's powertrain a closely guarded secret - until now. All of them get a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 138 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque with the choice of either a six-speed manual or CVT. Either front- or all-wheel drive is available, but the six-speed is only available on front-driving models.
Based on the same platform as the Fit, the HR-V actually doesn't seem to share much with its smaller sibling in terms of looks and instead borrows more cues from its big brother - the latest 2015 CR-V. Bits of Honda's larger crossover peek out in the grille and roof shape, but the HR-V reinterprets the design in its own funky way. Hiding the rear door handles near the rear pillar is an especially clever touch. The compact's wheelbase is 102.8 inches, just 0.3 inches shorter than its larger sibling. However, overall length for the new model is 169.1 inches, about 10 inches shorter than the CR-V.
