This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 1978 Honda Civic CVCC 3-door hatchback with 72,169 miles.

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.

Honda motorcycles most stolen, just like Honda autos

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise that Honda's Civic and Accord are the most stolen cars in America, but as it turns out, thieves like the company's motorcycles the most too, according to a study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). Out of the 46,061 two-wheelers stolen in 2012, 9,082 of them were Hondas. While that's bad news for Honda motorcycle owners, at least motorcycle theft went down slightly from 2011, which had 46,667 reported thefts. Motorcycle theft recoveries, on the other hand, were just 39 percent.
Yamaha is up next in the theft rankings (7,517), then Suzuki (7,017). The numbers drop a bit for fourth and fifth place, Kawasaki (4,839) and Harley-Davidson (3,755). These five brands are far and away the most stolen motorcycles: sixth place, apparently held by scooter, dirtbike and ATV maker Taotao, dropped to 914 theft reports.
California had the most reported thefts (6,082), followed by Florida (4,110), Texas (3,400), North Carolina (2,574) and Indiana (2,334). By city, New York City had the most reported thefts (903), followed by Las Vegas (757), San Diego (633), Indianapolis (584) and Miami (535.

Honda is spending $124 million on a new wind tunnel facility in Ohio

Fri, Apr 21 2017

Ford isn't the only company building a multi-million dollar wind tunnel this year. Honda is also getting in on the action. Its new facility will cost less than Ford's at $124 million, and construction begins this summer. It will be built at the Transportation Research Center in Ohio, which is where Honda's NSX proving grounds are located. Honda will install a five-belt rolling road in the tunnel for testing of more pedestrian vehicles, and a wide, high-speed, single belt version for testing of sports cars and race cars. However, it seems the Honda facility will only be capable of testing wind speeds of up to 192 mph, whereas Ford claims a top speed of 200 mph. Cameras and microphones will also be set up inside the testing area at the Honda tunnel to help find wind noise trouble spots. Honda won't necessarily be the only company using the new wind tunnel either. The facility will be available for other groups and companies to use. There are even secure bays those groups can use for their work. Related Video:
