Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

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.)

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Honda Civic Type R on track to smash 'Ring record, eclipse NSX

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Honda has made some serious performance machinery over the course of its history, but few products have been as hotly anticipated as the upcoming new Civic Type R. Following a deep and proud history of Type R Hondas, the latest Japanese hot hatch is continuing its long striptease at the Paris Motor Show this week. But before it does, Honda has released this video clip featuring project leader Suehiro Hasshi - and he has some bold claims to make.
For one, he says it'll be the best Type R yet - and that's quite a statement considering some of its predecessors, including the almighty NSX Type R. Hasshi-san also reiterates Honda's aim of snatching the front-drive lap record at the Nürburgring away from the likes of Renault and Seat, and reports that the Honda team is on track to chew every bit it's biting off. In short, the new Civic Type R ought to be sensational.

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.
