3rd owner. I purchased the car in 1991 as my first car....driven it ever since and vowed to never sell it. This car has been so reliable and sturdy even when I've been hard on it(offroading and racing). I recently restored the car due to engine, transmission, and body issues. Since these cars are so easy to work on, all the work was done by myself and a friend who does bodywork/paint. All engine/transmission parts were less than $400....hard to beat for a complete overhaul! Paintjob is 6 coats of base and clear -better than factory. I just love this car! I hope to be driving it around even when I'm old and gray.

Old Hondas are a rare sight these days. I hadn't seen one since I was a kid. Furthermore, they were economical vehicles and not exactly the most desirable or sought after. However, I am quite fond of these early generation Hondas. Not too many people share my interest in them, which makes them that much more unique. Classic Chevrolets, Fords, Mercedes, etc. are everywhere, but a 'classic' Honda? They were quite a milestone for their class and are a rather interesting part of automotive history that most people have forgotten, or don't care about. Nevertheless, my old Civic still turns heads out on the road and will be making some appearances in car shows this summer.

Honda / Acura Enthusiast! My daily driver is a 90 Integra with over 190k on it and you really can't tell. I know this dosen't really fit into the pre-90 category but I'm hoping you'll all cut me a little slack (it's on the fringe right?). The car is modified a bit, but I'm not one of those annoying kids you see tearing around the quik-e-marts with the coffee can muffler... Oh no... I just like to make them look silly. My beautiful silver Integra RS looks virtually stock, except for the wheels wich were on it when I bought it. Although they are still the original 14" size . I purchased this car in 1997 when it had 72k on it. I have since put 120k on it and it is as reliable as the day I drove it off the lot. I have always marveled at the incredible efficiency, handling, and invigorating driveability of Honda products. The options for tuning the DOHC non-vtec engines are incredible. I think the b18a/b is one of the greatest 4cyl. engines ever made. I have more plans for the car. However, I'm yearning for something a little more classic. I'm on the hunt for a 1st. Generation Accord!

I've been involved with Honda automobiles for over 25 years now. It all started when my brother Jeff bought a 1976 Honda Civic. This action piqued my interest in finding out about older model Honda autos. In 1981 I purchased my first S600 which took a number of years to restore. In 1989 I purchased my 2nd S600 which had the original engine in it that belonged to my first S600. Finally in 1992 with the restoration complete we hosted the first S Car Gathering which is still held every September to this day. I own and operate Formula H Motorworks, a Honda and Acura repair shop as well as HondaSportsRegistry.com.

CIVIC 1984 UK (scotland, UK)
(email: rubenhill@fastmail.fm)
See The Cars »
I am the owner of the only UK 1984 Honda civic 3rd generation to have registered on this site. Here in the U.K, especially in Scotland the weather is wet and very damp, so most early Civics were killed off by rust to sills, rear floor pan and back wheel arches, or the MOT examiner and the emissions test, etc.
Work has now started to restore this car, with two new sills, wheel arches and some sheets of metal, less work than I thought
The car has sat in the drive way for the past two years having a rest and waiting repairs, however it will still start.
The car has 78,000 genuine miles on the clock and still sounds healthy, The body still in fairly good shape will now need a little TLC.
I have had four versions of this car in the last nine years, my first car after passing my test was a 1984 blue Honda civic, then a 1985 silver civic , then a 1985 gold and now back to a 1984 blue Honda civic. I have a lot of time for this car, this version of Honda civic has been with me for such a long time, (all my driving life) and I hope for a lot longer yet.
However due to the need for two cars within the family as my partner starts university and i am still at college with a family, I am thinking fixing this car up as a second runner and bringing a classic back to the UK roads again.
If anybody has any advice on these cars I would be more than greatful for the support and advice.
I think this example will be the last, as I hate getting another one and starting a repair program from scratch. Most part are still available available from motor factors, Ebay, Honda etc.
This car is now 23 years old.
The main fear for us now is the attitude to old cars, a lot of them are now getting scrapped when they could, with a bit of time and TLC be restored cheaply and put back on the road. I think that a lot of the classics you see on the road today, will not be around in the next five years, and thats not a good thought.
If the work is carried out I will post this information on this site for others to read. So for the moment the status is work in progress

Been a Honda Girl all my life. I remember when my dad brought home a 78 CVCC. He was so proud and called it "The Caddy of Imports". I learned to drive in that car. And it was on its way to becoming mine when I cartwheeled and rolled it twice. Sad day! But it kept me safe! I've since owned an 85 Accord that got me through college. I gave that to my brother who blew it up. Currently I own a 96 DOHC VTEC del Sol. He will be my future classic! And in November 2005, a new Honda captured my heart! I saved a poor little yellow 78 CVCC! It will be a long haul, but I am so optimistic! Someday I hope to have more garage space and get my s600!

Through the last year (2004) I collected five 1st gen. Accord in various conditions.
The reason why I’m a 1st gen. Accord enthusiast is simple, it was my first car, which I drove all through the 80s and as I sold it in 1990, I was convinced that it’s impossible to keep these cars alive for more than 10 or 12 years.
After missing my “first love” for 13 years, the classic car “virus” got me and now I’m trying to make up the leeway…

I'm the proud owner of a beautiful white 93 DA integra special edition. This is my fourth Honda, my other three were an 89 CRX, 92 EG, and a 96 civic coupe. My love for all things Honda started in 1998 when I saw my first issue of TOY MACHINE RACING magazine. Within two months I had my little red CRX. I enjoy modding my car, although I am far from beeing a ricer. I respect my Honda and thats why i only put quality parts on it.
I bought the DA in july of 05, it was stock, had the owners manual still in the case with the original salesmans card along with the warranty book. The list of mods to my DA so far go like this-14 inch Mugen MR-5 rims, Spoon Sports upper tie bar, OBX carbon fiber air intake. My exhaust is stock, because I don't see the point in having a useless $500 cat back potato launcher.
This is kind of funny, but as i was writing this I came across an 86 CRX that I am going to look at tonight. Who knows, that could be #5 by the weekend.

4 1978/79 Honda Civics one with 88 CRX Si motor swap. Originally from Rifton NY, hey thats right near you Brian! Only two are shown. UPDATE-hey folks sadly I sold off my civics its very hard to find parts and I wasnt happy with the "clubs" I belonged too. I still love the old Hondas but its so very hard to get parts for them and can be expensive when you do as they are rare. Im back into my first love VW - bugs. Anyone wanting info on old civics, motor swaps etc, please visit www.1stgencivic.com or www.civic1200.com if its still up and running. All my parts are sold as well. I still keep my page here and plan to keep it up as well. I run into civics and still buy them to flip when I can, I know them well and love to work on them still.

Previous and current owner of a number of hondas...most importantly the 1982 honda preludes.
Oringally owned a blue 82 from 1982 to 1992 and unfortunately lost in a rear end collission, totalling the car.
In 2007 picked up an 82 prelude which is being restored to original condition, interior now perfect, correct original wheels are ready to on and it's ready for the paint shop.
In 2008 picked up an 81 prelude for a project once the blue 82 is finished.
In 2008 picked up another 82, this time silver and it really won't need much work...great car, got it from a seller in the classifieds of this great site!

My family has owned Hondas since I was a baby. My dad & paternal grandpa both bought brand new Honda Civics back in 1976, the same year I was born. So I grew up with these Hondas. My dad's was the Station-Wagon, & my grandpa's was a hatch-back. They were both C.V.C.C's, & both featured the Hondamatic Transmissions. My dad's came with the availible cigarette lighter, also. Not that he smoked, but he often used it as a 12-volt power recepticle for a battary operated tape player with a 12-volt jack, as his Honda didn't have a radio. My grandpa's Honda had an A.M. only radio.
When I was 13, my grandpa died. This was vry hard for me, as I was vry close to him. But he left me his Honda, which combined with my enthusiasm with cars, & even from an early age, particularly Hondas, & the fact that it was his, it was like a bridge to him.
But then 1 day, the unthinkable happened. It was stolan. After it was recovered, many of the windows were broken out, & the interior had been intentionally sliced with a knife of some kind, the gage panal was ripped off. They had trashed it. It was impounded & @ 14, there was no way I was gonna b able 2 afford to get it out. Espeacially with the storage charges climbing every-day. I was devistated. My parents did offer to help, but with many strings attatched, & @ that time, goin through a major teen-age rebelion phase, it was just too much for me to agree to. Eventually, the Honda was sold to a wrecking yard by the towing company, & it was gone forever. I still feel guilt to this day, lettin that Honda slip away. That was a peace of my grandpa, whom I loved so much, because he loved me so much.
My dad eventually gave me his, too, when I was about 17, but it wasn't running, & I put it in storage, with the intent to fix it up, @ a lter time, but then fell behind on the storage payments. I eventually lost that 1, too. Bummer.
I've had a few others since then, but then went through a dry spell, Hondaless, not by choice, but by financhal hardship, for a few years. I have always retained my affinity to Hondas, though, after all I've been through with them. But now, I'm finally back in the game. Now I found aother Honda. It feels good 2 b home again.

I had been looking for an old Civic for sometime. In fact, I had a classified here on this site. I ended up finding one that wasn't my perfect car, but at least it was a Civic. It was on ebay and is a 1977 yello 1200 model. I picked it up in South Carolina on Monday (8/30/04) and of course what do I find in Tuesday's Auto Trader but a 71 Honda AZ600 here in Atlanta. I couldn't let it pass so I bought it also. Now I am the proud owner of not one cool car, but two. I am always on the look out for any 73-79 Civic preferably a 75 TO 79 CVCC 5-speed, any 80-83 Civic or Civic S, any 84-87 Civic S or Si, any 84-91 Crx, especially an 85 Crx Si in black, any 60-69 S600 or S800, any 79-82 Prelude or any 78-82 Accord. My only preference is that it be relatively close to Atlanta, GA and that it be as close to original condition as possible. By original condition I do not mean perfect I mean no after market changes.
