That looks awesome. Although I wonder what "previously restored" means. Whatever. buy it anyway.

Why is it not in your driveway yet?

with no more room in my driveway than I have ... I'm darned glad that's 3000 mi away ( and I HATE to fly)

That would be a done deal for me. Other than the doors, it looks clean.

My mother had a beige 81 wagon like that. I think it finally rusted apart after around 600k. The first clutch lasted 350k.

oh yea and go for it!

In reply to cdowd:

I thought your mom had one of those, did John end up killing it?

Buy it and never look back.

To be honest, when you said "early Honda", I thought you meant 60's

Go get it already. Thankfully it is across the country or I might be over there.

Pretty darn sweet little wagon. It's within driving distance for me, but not in the budget

That will be sold very quickly. Probably already is.

That is awesome. Buy it.

$1k? Why the berkeley not!?

Yes...buy it! And get some cooler wheels!

if i was a scorpion you'd see a hurricane which would be me rocking that.

Yeah, same here. My first Honda was an '82 Accord. I guess that's now way old school.

You don't see many of those old Civic wagons. I'd drive it. And true, it needs some more period-correct wheels. That can easily be fixed.

I was expecting something like this

You know, I have a gearshift knob and Honda badge for the above car. One turned up in our local you-pull-it. To quote a friend, it looked as if it had caught on fire and was put out with rust.

I grabbed the only two decent things on the carcass. The cashier said "no charge."
