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.)

Honda Civic Tourer to debut at Frankfurt

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Honda will be bringing its new Civic Tourer to next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, just as we predicted in our spy shots of the new MPV from back in April. The new model, which will arrive in European dealers in 2014, will be built alongside Honda's Euro-spec Civic hatchback, Jazz (Honda Fit) and CR-V in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK.
Honda first hinted at the Civic Tourer with a concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which is set to do battle with the Toyota Auris and Volkswagen Golf in the European market. The production Civic Tourer will also be shown alongside a refreshed Civic hatchback, yet another NSX Concept variant, a McLaren MP4/4 Formula One car, and Honda's World Touring Car Championship Civic.

West Coast labor dispute hampers Japanese automakers' US plants

Wed, Feb 18 2015

The ongoing labor dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and port owners along the West Coast is starting to affect more Japanese automakers building vehicles in the US. The issue already forced Honda and Subaru to take the expensive option of airlifting some parts into the US weeks ago, and according to USA Today, Toyota and Nissan have begun doing so, as well. The choice hasn't been cheap, though, and Subaru's chief financial officer estimated that the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. The effects continue to radiate, according to USA Today, and shortages of some models are possible. Honda is slowing production at its factories in Ohio, Indiana and Canada because the automaker doesn't have enough transmissions and electronics for some vehicles. Toyota already cut back on overtime at some factories. Nissan has only seen a small effect from the issue, though, because of its local suppliers. Dock workers and port owners have been negotiating on a new contract since last year, and the union has organized work slowdowns in response. According to USA Today, the automakers could move shipments to Canada or Mexico, but it would take longer for parts to arrive.

Japan's government gives hydrogen vehicles a big boost

Tue, Jun 3 2014

The Japanese government is really paving the way for hydrogen fuel cell technology on its roads. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry is changing regulations on fuel tanks to make hydrogen cars more appealing to drivers, which should help put the country ahead of others in the race to develop a viable H2 fleet. Japan is raising the allowed pressure of hydrogen tanks from 700 atmospheres to 875, which has the effect of increasing driving range by 20 percent. This move puts the country in line with others with high-pressure fueling regulations. Japan is also in talks with the United Nations and the European Union to streamline inspection rules to make it easier to export Japan's fuel-cell vehicles. Toyota premiered its hydrogen-powered FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show last year and plans to release a production version as early as next year. Honda also plans to build its own fuel-cell cars for 2015, and it debuted its FCEV Concept at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Nissan is sending mixed messages on hydrogen, both questioning the availability of a refueling infrastructure and working on developing the vehicles. In Japan, a relatively small country, increasing the range of fuel-cell vehicles makes creating a usable infrastructure a bit less daunting. Will hydrogen-fueled electric cars see the same sort of success as Toyota's Prius hybrid or battery-powered EVs? Only time will tell, but we can keep our fingers crossed that it will, and that the popularity spills over beyond Asia.
