1978 Honda Civic Cvcc- Rust-free, Super Clean, 72,000 Miles, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Willoughby, Ohio, United States
|
This is a NO RESERVE listing. I brought this car to Ohio from Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest where it had been since new. Consequently, it has never seen road salt (illegal in WA and OR) and has never been subjected to corrosive salt of any kind. This car is rust-free and completely solid and clean in every way, including underneath. You will probably not find another 1st Generation Civic with NO RUST like this one. This is probably one of the nicest, cleanest and best-preserved examples of this car in the country. I do not exaggerate when I say this is a superb example. This car is very original and has not been grotesquely modified or hacked up into someone's idea of a "race hatch". This is probably as close to an original condition 1978 Civic as you'll find. It has been repainted, and a quality job was done. This paint is very good, glossy and in very good condition. A nice popup sunroof was added long ago. The engine is an updated EM1 1500 with an electric choke. The original engine was an ED3 CVCC 1500. The car has a factory 5-speed transmission, plus it has the wooden steering wheel, shift knob and dash plus the deluxe gauge package. The wheels are steel 13" with chrome beauty rings and the Honda center caps. The tires are nearly new. I cannot overemphasize the significance of the fact that this car has never seen road salt since it was new. This is a RUST FREE car- even the underside, the floorboards and the pinch welds are clean and look nearly new. The interior of the car is original. The seats are in very good condition; the fabric isn't ripped up and the cushioning material is still firm. The carpet is original, and it does show some wear including a few minor wear holes. The gauges including tachometer, engine temperature and fuel gauge are working accurately. The engine is smooth, powerful and runs well. The transmission shifts perfectly and the clutch is strong. This little car drives beautifully for a 36-year old car. The exterior looks very, very good. The repaint was a quality job, and the body is straight, clean and rust-free. The body and paint are really good-looking. This car would present itself respectably at any car show or event, particularly at a gathering of vintage Hondas. I have personally never encountered another 1st Generation Civic in this sort of condition. I think this might be the finest example of this car currently offered for sale in the country, and probably one of the nicest, period. This car turns heads every place you drive it- nobody has seen one of these cars in a decade or two, and you get thumbs-ups and questions everywhere you drive. The title is a clean and clear OH title in hand and ready to transfer and the mileage is indicated on the title as ACTUAL. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home if you wanted. However, I'd recommend with a car of this age and rarity that you have it shipped if you're going a long way- in that case please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote. Questions, please email me or call me at 440 339 4341. |

Design Handbook explains the difference between design and styling
Fri, 11 Oct 2013It's easy to confuse the terms 'design' and 'style,' but Jim Hall attempts to explain the difference between the two in his latest Design Handbook video column for Autoline. Before relating the terms to cars, Hall first uses other, non-automotive-related examples to prove his point, such as a well-designed glass versus a well-styled glass. Both do their job well as a result of good designs, he claims, but one stands out more because it also was styled.
When he relates his lesson to cars, he uses the 2013 Honda Accord and the new Chevrolet Impala as examples, but you'll have to watch the video below to find out which car he thinks is merely designed and which one has been styled.
We've also included a gallery of the Honda and a gallery of the Chevrolet so you can decide for yourself which one of these vehicles has been designed, and which one has been styled.
Takata airbag victim looked like she had been stabbed
Tue, 21 Oct 2014We generally take certain principals for granted. The more water you drink, for example, the healthier you'll be. The more time you spend reading car news on Autoblog, the better informed you'll be. And the more airbags your car has, the safer you'll be. Because airbags equal safety. But that's not what some unfortunate drivers of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags are finding, and tragically finding out the hard way.
In what could be the most startling incident resulting from the airbag debacle so far, a woman named Hien Tran of Orlando, FL, was killed by what looked at first like stab wounds on her neck. It later emerged that the fatal injuries could have been inflicted by the faulty airbag on her Honda Accord. Tran bought her Honda secondhand, and may not have been aware that the airbag issue had not been addressed by its previous owner in a previous recall in 2009.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death, but it wouldn't be the only injury resulting from the malfunctioning Takata airbags. The units, employed particularly by Japanese automakers like Honda (which owns part of Takata) and Toyota, are the subject of a massive recall involving some 14 million vehicles from 11 different automakers.
Honda 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'
Mon, 08 Jul 2013The 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.
