That is really nice! 83 was the year I graduated high school. I had a friend whode rich parents bought her an 83 Accord brand new. Now, THAT or a 1st gen Prelude I would like to find.
Enjoy your good deal!
They're out there dude. My 81 Accord HB came out of Arlington, TX and it is SPOTLESS. You southerners have it made for older imports. ALL of them are rusted out up here. I've seen a couple of those Ludes on ebay. Personally, I think the 1st gen. Ludes are not as good looking as the 1st gen Accords, but they were so far ahead of their time it isn't even funny. The Qualude as they were called... with the tach. inside the speedometer or the other way around. You'll find one...Originally posted by DBMaster

Yeah, even though they're not rusted out it is tough to find them not ragged out. The friend whose parents bought her a brand new 83 Accord when we graduated high school had bought her a brand new 81 or 82 Qualude (We called tham that, too) before that and handed it down to her younger sister. Tough life, isn't it?
I also used to know a guy in my bike club who had an 83 Accord 5 speed and he sold it in 86 to buy a brand new 3g DX hatch. That 83 was super clean and had something like 30K miles on it. If I only had money back then. I was just a poor college student.
I also had another friend who had both 75 and 77 Civics. I barely fit in those care they were so tiny.
Hindsight, you know how it is.
I know all about hindsight so I jumped on that 81 Accord HB with 105K, one owner, LIKE NEW. I'm sooo glad I didn't let it slide by cuz I haven't seen one as nice since. I was scared buying it sight unseen, but they had like 40 pics and the dudes were honest as fawk about it. CARFAX helped, too. I love the lil 81. Civics before 81 or 82 scare me; they were so small and underpowered (1300cc I think). You'll find one though!!Originally posted by DBMaster

Man nice find. I love the older hondas. My dad used to have a civic something like that too back 20 years ago. I'd love to have one of those old civics but they're so hard to find where I live. Cars rust out so fast up here.

Yea salt is a real bitch. My parents had a '95 Jetta and it was already starting to rust by '99.
that has the coolest interior, and the thing on the antenna is a little scary though
please excuse the thread revival, but i think a few of you may find my dad's 1978 Honda Civic 1200 to be something a little different from the everyday
it's a little dirty, but almost totally rust free. the engine finally gave up the ghost because the thrust bearing wore down and caused serious knocking, so my dad retired it in late 2000...BUT we have another complete 1200cc engine for the car, my dad is building it all out... GL1000 pistons, 1300 crankshaft, EB3 head...etc. etc.
just thought some of you might enjoy it
'84 Civic 1500S [engine is under construction]
some guy locally had an 83 1.3L Civic for sale for 400 but it's rusted I am thinking of getting that and dropping a b16 in it....
my friend fgot a 82 1.3L Civic about a year ago, it didnt run the doors were rusted shut and it smelled like mold, it was horrid but it rocked I was so envious of him, and best of all, it was FREE
