That's not a 73... The front lights/grill are more like 80-81... Still helluva cool!

Ah dude.

Those things aren't 'kinda slow' they haul some serious ***. At least on autocross. I was seriously blown away.

I love the look of those older Civics ('73, '75ish) but never drove one. Dog slow stock I bet. My Civic isn't anywhere near classic.... yet.

ah yes, the memories. my first honda was a 77 cvcc 5 speed. rated at 54 mpg on the highway. cost ~$4400 new. as small as it was and with the same basic 1488 cc motor, it went pretty good.

Hopefully, I'll see this guy racing this weekend at the June Sprints @ Road America.

It's on of my favorite old Civics.

Here's another nice one. Lovin' the Minilites


I had a '79. It was really a tough little car. When I move out of downtown, I'd really like to get another one as a project.
