It's on that Japanese guy's page, the one who is doing all the gorgeous 1g restoration...

Is it some kind of retrofit aftermarket part? Or some strange, rare half year model that we've never ever seen??

The ass end looks pretty normal, though it has pre-1980 tails in it...

Can somebody translate??

It looks like HONDA not sure what years though probably in the 80's I am guessing. JK man That does look badass though kinda reminds me of the old skylines in the front.

Try google? All that car needs is a different bumber, move the mirrors back and it will be good to go.

I don't know much about the square headlights 1gs, but here they are called "Accord 1800". Pretty much a real JDM model with power windows if I'm not mistaken

So they actually came with the square lights from the factory like that? So this is some crazy rare Accord?

apparantly so, that or it is a real neat job of customizing the facia. Is the 1Gee a 1800cc motor, I thought it was smaller normally.

I drove a 77 hatchback for a while I dont remember much about the motor except for adjusting the points every month.

Yep there are a few pictures around of the JDM square-lamp set-up, I think it was only for top spec '81 models.
Though I'm still confused since this car has the chrome non-reinforced bumpers with integrated frt indicators & park lamps where his hatch has painted bumpers reinforced like the Nth American markets.
So glad Accords for our market never got that bonnet, though we only got those tail lamps 1980 & on -red indicators illegal in many markets.

& just noticed the short bumper end pieces -pre 1980 spec.
PS. All Accords '79 on went to Electronic ignition.

According to the text, the vehicle is a Honda Saloon. It was manufactured in 1981. Here's a link to a catalog on eBay being sold for this vehicle I just found:
