I was reading through some posts about engine swaps in CVCC's at http://www.1stgencivic.com and happened upon this thread.

http://www.1stgencivic.com/for...art=0

It starts off about how to put a b16 in a CVCC but go to page 2. About a 3rd of the way down a gentleman from Jamaica, "marck_c", posts that he found an old race Civic in the junkyard and got it for free since they were to crush it the next day. He then posts pics of the car and all hell breaks loose.

He seems to have just gotten the car last month so this story is unfolding as we speak. I'll be very interested to see how this turns out.

 

hmmm...$1 bob
thats going to be one neat car once its restored, which i can only hope the owner does.

 

It'd be great to restore that thing to original spec and vintage race it. Hell, King would probably help out with it.

Sadly, I doubt thats what will happen.

 

I don't know for sure but if you read the link to King's website there's a lot of info and history on the car. That car is a huge peice of King's and even Honda's history so I wouldn't be suprised if King buys it and restores it.

Agreed and agreed. ANY vintage race car with a history to it should be restored so that future generations could enjoy it.

 

How in the world does the King/Mugen car get to Jamaica? And then get completely lost in a junkyard.

I hope this thing turns out to be the real deal. If there were only one ever made then this would be quite a find.

 

yeah, he's been posting on here too. This is his thread.
