MGB's now is that was a classic. After the civic I got very poor and bought a 68 Army green Plymouth Valiant for $500. 225 slant 6. Rubber floor liners and a AM radio. It was pure transportation. Then I got a new job and got "rich". Paid cash for a 76 VW Scirocco. Put a Holley on it and it ran great! Wore it out and bought a 81 Accord 2 door. That was a damn fine automobile. It was during that time I drove my buddies new 84 SE. I was in love and the affair never went away to this day.

 

Back around 1988 I bought an old Civic like that from a coworker for $400.00. Tina told me it was junk
and didn't want anything to do with it. It ran like puke when I got it. Went to the JY and got a carbie off
a junker and swapped that in (cause those carbs were really finicky to open up and hope to get
running again). Tuned it up and it ran like stink.

It was a really fun car to drive around even if it was slow. Used it for a winter and then the front shock
towers gave way on my way home from the airport in the snow in Pittsburgh. Seems it was a wee bit
rusty. Only thing keeping it going was the hood staying latched and holding the shocks from coming all
the way up through the towers. It was a sad day to see it towed off to the same JY I got the carb from.

 

My problem with the 75 CVCC was shocks as well, except the rears this time.

Every time you hit a bump the dang car wanted to put you through the roof.

I got used to it, never did take a look back there to see what had happened.

Dang I miss that car.

 

sexiest ugly box car I ever owned. Honda was right on the money with the concept.

 

When my ghia's points bit the dust last week I drove my friend's civic to and fro work.... I gotta say that a civic is the most bland boring uninspiring ride on this planet.

Don't care how reliable they are; it'll be a cold day in hell when I purchase a Honda product that doesn't have the Honda wing emblem on it.

 

 

hey, at least they're talking

 

Thank god for boosted rotaries. I was almost side swiped again yesterday by some certifiable moron in a chevy avalanche !

Anyone ever had play in their front struts masquerading as bad wheel bearings?

 

i bet he took advantage of that original female owner. probably got it really cheap just to resale for a profit.

Interesting wheels.

Project for sure. Cool thing about the Ghia as apposed to the RX7 is you can actually find EVERY part you'll ever need for it.
