Default the great-grandpa of all our Civic's



1st Generation, 1975 Honda Civic Hatchback. I think it has a 1.3L motor, and I know it's 4-speed manual. It's carbed and that scares me, 'cause I know jack about that type of stuff.

I'm debating between selling it or restoring it 100%. It's in damn good shape other than needing some paint, and a little work on the carb. It runs and drives great!

Just thought you guys would enjoy. Here are some more pics...

Heh, it's so tempting but restoration = $$$ which I don't have in abundance at this moment.

I'd probably let it go for like $750 as-is if anyone wants it. I thought about putting it on e-bay, but don't necessarily want to deal with the hassle of having to ship it off somewhere.

I've seen a picture of a b16a in one of these things. They fit in there, but I imagine everything has to be custom done.

The wheel center caps are red with a silver H in them, and the seatbelt buckle buttons are also red. It's fun to putt around in it. A real classic.

I actually got it for free from a friend who had to move out of state, and couldn't figure out how to get it to run. It ended up just being a wire was disconnected under the dash. Go figure...
