Description of 1979 Honda Civic 5-Door Wagon

If you are seriously interested in this car, please call me before bidding. If you don't call, your bid will be canceled and you blocked. Too many scammers out there. :) (sixxTHREEzero)4SIXXone-34sixty-two. It's a land line, so NO TEXTS.
I prefer a local c. a. s. h. buyer, but I will work with your shipper if you make all the arrangements and, of course, pay them yourself.
This is my Vintage and highly collectible 1979 Honda Civic CVCC Station Wagon with, as of this posting, 58,957 miles. It's a daily driver, so miles will go up.

It has the Hondamatic Transmission, so anyone can drive this car.
I just drove this car back from the West Coast over 2,400 miles without a hiccup. It runs perfect. I did notice it was using a little oil on the way back, but nothing major.
If you are thinking about spending $30,000 on a new station wagon, invest in this one. It'll outlast most cars being made today. These cars are like cockroaches if you simply change the fluids regularly; they last forever.
I had a 1976 Honda Civic when I was a kid and it was the best, most reliable car I ever owned.
Mechanically, it starts right up and drives great. It needs a carb adjustment or cleaning because it's necessary to leave the choke out a little when driving in town, but on the highway, not necessary.
The steering on this car is as tight as a go-kart. The tires are brand new and the brakes were recently done. I bought the car from the original (non-smoker) owner and it was meticulously cared for.
There have been seat covers on the front seats since day one, so they look mint, as does the back seat. Of course it has the generic tan vinyl seat upholstery from the 70's that was pretty common in Japanese cars. However, overall, the interior is MINT.
I also noticed the horn works (sometimes). Again, something I'll take care of if I end up keeping it.
The car is probably 98% rust free, but it does have some spots.
Brand new Battery.
Brand new Tires.
Brand new Brake Master Cylinder
New wiper blades and headlights.
Just had the oil changed.
Just had the radiator flushed.
Included with the sale is a very heavy-duty tow bar. This tow bar is built to tow a car much heavier than this one. The car is retrofitted with the receiver for the tow bar already, so if you want to tow this car behind your motorhome, it's all set up for that.
This Honda Civic Wagon turns heads all day long. Car buffs tend to navigate themselves towards this one at the gas pump and strike up a pleasant conversation. :)
It's really a cool car to see driving down the street in 2017. Most 1970's Civics are high mileage and complete rust buckets. This one came from the West Coast and was babied.
Not much more to say, it's pretty basic inside. It has the original am/fm radio, that's it, no tape, and definitely no CD player, and the radio works perfect. Nice sound.
Windows are hand crank. Manual Locks. The key doesn't open the driver's side door. If I keep it, I'll address that issue, but just so you know.
What else....
All the lights and signals work. The heater blows hot. I also noticed the horn works (sometimes). Again, something I'll take care of if I end up keeping it.
I was averaging about 30 miles per gallon on the way back from the west coast.
Any questions? Just ask. Clean and clear title. I'm outside of Chicago in Schaumburg, IL. If you know anyone close-by, they can come and inspect the car in person by calling the number listed above.
Of course with any old car, it's sold AS-IS with no warranties.
By agreeing to buy this car, you also agree that the $250 deposit through PayPal is completely NON-REFUNDABLE, so be sure you want to buy this car before agreeing to it. If you don't agree with this policy, don't agree to buy it. It's that simple.
Also, I will not accept a cashier's check, personal check or any other form of payment other than $$$. All major banks are within minutes of my house, so getting your money shouldn't be a problem. We can handle the entire transaction at your branch bank if you like for security purposes.
Whoever buys this car will love it. It's cute as a button. ;)
