    Look what i got for $427 dollars!

    I thought this car was a steal and couldnt give it up, plus its fun as heck to drive! Its a 1983 Honda Civic "S" (sport) I didnt even know they had these or ever seen one till this one. Its got a 1500cc engine, 5 speed manual, bucket seats, and "premium wheels" (well at least they were premium in 1983) The car is suprisingly quick for its age, and check out the mileage!!! I dont know if the motor was ever rebuilt or swapped. Its got a few bumps and dents but they are located on the rear so you cant see them. Enjoy the pics!

    nice little car man....I used to have one just like it but it wasn't the sport edition and it was brown, an 82 I believe. The back was rusted to hell (right below the rear windshield wiper) That was a pretty reliable and fuel efficient car. Good find.

    Wow...that's pretty nice! The body looks to be in really nice shape and very clean for the age and miles, and for that price....damn. Don't let the miles scare ya (you're pretty close to me, hehe), just make sure the t-belt is good. So it runs pretty good then I take it? You'll probably get damn good mileage with that thing too!

    Good find! Not too often you see an oldie like that in real good shape

    ran through my first gas tank. 300 miles on 8 gallons, not bad eh? the car does smoke a bit when i start it up so i think its got a bad head gasket or something. once the car warms up it doesnt smoke.

    Sweet, that thing looks to be in nice shape. Has the frame started to rot out though, or has it been repaired. Look on the passenger side frame rail where it starts to curve up infront of the wheel well. That problem has ended the life of more the one old civic. Devinitely a fun car. There are quite a few sites devoted to hoping them up.

    SWAP! SWAP! SWAP! chanted the voices in his head

    Damn man any car that runs for under $500 is good but one in that condition is awesome... I bet you putting a stock keihin 3rd gen 2bbl carb on that would give you a nice cheap performance boost!

    I remember those!! I always wanted that package (S), but they were always rusted out too bad. That is tight and for the money... I will tell you this. START BUYING PARTS FOR IT!! I mean, axleshafts, starter, alternator, etc. Why? Because on my 81 Accord, it is HELLA hard to find parts, so I hit up ebay to get cheap stuff. Belts, hoses, brake pads, etc. are easy to find, but the other stuff is getting obsolete. I scored the following off ebay for $150 SHIPPED and NO CORE RETURNS!!

    Both axles (rblt) for the 81 Accord
    Driver side axle (rblt) for my 89 Accord
    Rebuilt starter for 81
    Rebuilt alternator for 81

    Everything seems to be special order, not made anymore, or bring the old one in... You think finding parts for your 3g Accord is tough, try going farther back...
