_Basics_: 1978 Honda Civic CVCC (1.5L) 5-Speed 85k-ish Miles Pittsburgh, PA (no delivery option right now) **$1600** , trades considered _Pros_: \>Starts, runs, drives \>“Deluxe gauge” set (temp and fuel factory mounted on dash) \>Black interior is in very decent shape \>little rust (clean for northeast at this age but is a driver, will never be a show car) \>Wheels re finished \>Tires have \<500 miles on them \>New brake master cylinder, front calipers/pads, and rear wheel cylinders _Cons_: \> P.O. put a quarter-sized hole in the driver door near mirror (fresh factory mirror included and now attached) \> Driver rear fender took a ding at the very back/bottom some time in the past 35 years \> Paint is just overall tired \> No radio \> As shown in photo, at some point a P.O. decided to patch what I’m guessing were failure-to-drain-standing-water rust holes in the upper firewall corners - looks like hell \> P.O. broke the choke cable so it needs a new one run (OEM cable assembly included) \> Not currently inspected _The Rest_: This car is just what you see. Tons of character and the issues you might expect from a vehicle that was just “basic transportation” for probably its entire life. I’m trying to include the bad pictures as much as the glamour shots because I don’t want someone thinking this is a cream puff. As I noted I’ve refinished the wheels, put fresh tires on, and new brake parts. Headlight buckets were cleaned up, grille was re-blacked, and front bumper was tucked into the body. Recently developed a small fuel leak in the back that I haven’t had a chance to look at - inspection mechanic said it will take a sticker if that is fixed. I have considerably more than $1600 into it but I’m not driving it and tired of it sitting around. ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/freshwheels.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/freshwheels.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqFlkE8HMBnciiBPJU5vkO0g60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqFlkE8HMBnciiBPJU5vkO0g60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqFnUE8VHENsu4BPJU4wO860_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqFnUE8VHENsu4BPJU4wO860_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqRhwE8wQPlTwBPJU4lGT3Q60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqRhwE8wQPlTwBPJU4lGT3Q60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqRoE8VltQrwBPJU5drErQ60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqRoE8VltQrwBPJU5drErQ60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqZlgE8iN8VervBPJU483-JQ60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqZlgE8iN8VervBPJU483-JQ60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqNpsE8WNYtsF9BPJU4fmhsQ60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqNpsE8WNYtsF9BPJU4fmhsQ60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqNnkE8VMwBHBBPJU5NSTSw60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqNnkE8VMwBHBBPJU5NSTSw60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/doordamage.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/doordamage.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqRhwE8wQPlTwBPJU6GSWnw60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqRhwE8wQPlTwBPJU6GSWnw60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqNHJCME8fNWHCBPJU6NPFbw60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqNHJCME8fNWHCBPJU6NPFbw60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqJooE8dB2rQToBPJU5H2rHw60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqJooE8dB2rQToBPJU5H2rHw60_35.jpg) ![http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqFk0E8JWrChWBPJU4t4kQ60_35.jpg](http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/poisonousbeef/CVCC/KGrHqFk0E8JWrChWBPJU4t4kQ60_35.jpg) Anything else PM me here. ---

I’m sure some things could be harder to locate, but tune up and minor repair parts are pretty readily available. I got the new brake calipers and pads from Advance Auto. Bought the rotors on ebay but a couple different places had them when I looked, just no one that was local to me and ebay was the cheapest. ---
