My new car!

Okay, so it is not new...but it is only 26 years old! So what if it is older than me!

[Picture attached]

1981 Honda Civic
93xxx miles (yes, 93k...)
5 Speed
A whopping 67HP!

Everything in it works, including the rear defroster and the windshield wiper. The body is exactly as shown in the picture. There is a TAD bit of rust in the usual Honda spots, but the body is perfect other than that.

I am so excited! It is a phenomenal car. For being such a small engine, it really does have some power. I had no problem driving it home on the turnpike.

Now I can put my Prelude to sleep...

Haha that's so awesome.. I'm trying to find either an '86 or a '92 Jetta right now.. I'm so close to getting a loan, but so far away at the same time.

Nice car, and congrats, I know the feeling of getting a new car, and its not too bad of a feeling.

Wow, from the pic it looks like it's in really good shape for it's age, especially since it looks like it's in an area where there's cold weather. (ice and snow = salt = rust) How many miles are on it? At 26 years old, it's technically a classic. Enjoy it and keep it in good shape.

haha, a Honda Classic. Really nice. My brother had one and drove it into the ground (300,000 miles on it).

Your car is so nice.I like it.Even if after 26 years such a mileage is really good.

Looks good.

Nice car, i personally prefer older cars they seem to have more character than new ones.

Neat

Congrats!!!!!! It looks really good in the photo. I hope you have good luck with it.

My brother is buying an 01 civic today.

Congrats on the car.

I took my wife car in to get it serviced and almost came out with a new one.

sweet ride buddy!!!!
i had an 89 vw gti for a few months but i couldnt get it to be street worthy so i had to get rid of it before winter hit

Hondas are such great little cars...and the 5 speed manual trannies are kind of fun to drive, even.

Nice find. I say its in need of a powertrain transplant, and make it a sleeper.

Nice looking! Did you buy it from an individual or did you get it off a lot? Whoever had it before you certainly seemed to take care of it very well. How is the interior?

That is a sweet ride.
I prefer the stock look with a lowered suspension and a set of 16" rims or something not too flashy. That would totally make that ride in my eyes.
i would keep that engine. That's very low for a Honda of that age. My del Sol is pushing 200k. As long as you upkeep that thing, it should last a very long time.

Wow, looks like its been treated well by previous owners. Finding a car that old with only 93k miles and minimal wear and tear is a pretty good find. Congrats!

wow 67hp, its probably pretty good on gas!

It was made in the '80's though. I would guess around 24MPG. Far better than domestics of that era but but not up to today's economic standards.
