Default 1978 Civic 1200 Hatchback

Name: Cory
Location: Hampton, VA (Must be picked up, I cannot deliver)
Contact: Here or PM
Price: $1600
NO TRADES!!!
Description:
I am selling my project car. I had big plans for this car, but I ran out of time/money/effort. The car is a 1978 Honda Civic 1200 2 door Hatchback 4 Speed Manual, with 71,xxx miles on the odometer. It is white in color, and the exterior is pretty much flawless, with the exception of one 6-8" dent on the drivers side rear quarter panel, where someone recently decided to open a van door into it. . The interior is blue. The drivers seat has some wear and tear. The carpet isn't in the best shape on the drivers side either. Other than that, the car is in mint shape, as you can see in the pictures. Now, the bad. There is no motor/transmission in the car. The engine had spun a bearing, and damaged a rod. I sent the a machine shop in Hampton, and they put a new rod, bearings, and machined the crank. The head still needs to be redone. As far as I know, there is nothing really wrong with the head, just old, and some gunk build up. The car hasn't ran in 15 years. It was in an old ladys garage, under a car cover. It was her husbands, he died, and she just kept it. She really didn't know what to do with it. I acquired it, and had big plans. I have pretty much everything for the car. Motor/Trans/axles, exhaust, everything that was taken off, I still have, as well as a gasket set. I really don't want to get rid of it, but all the toys must go. I just bought a house, and I can't take this with me. It just sits at my shop in the corner with a car cover on it. This thing only weighs ~1500 lbs, so whatever gets done to it, I'm sure it will roll out quite nicely.

Perfect candidate for a D swap.

Here is the best site I can find for all the old school Civic information. They have a motor swap section as well.

In the pics, the hood isn't attached, it is just sitting there for the sake of pictures.

I have even more pics, just ask, and I can email them to you.

First reasonable cash offer takes this home. My S2000 gets the garage at the new house, so this thing has to go!

a rust free one for 1200? I'd be all over that like a fat kid on a smartie if it was local. Good luck!
