1980 Honda Civic wagon, manual, not rusty - $3500 (NMNA)

This is shockingly not a giant pile of rust at this point. I'd be sorely tempted if I hadn't already been tempted by too many other things.

Is that the model that has the funky 3 barrel carb that you just can't get parts for?

In reply to 914Driver :

Good question. I know almost nothing of Hondas, so I'm not the one to ask. I'm sure it could be engine-swapped - Honda guys seem to do this with everything from what I can tell.

That has a Weber conversion carb, probably the 32/36 which was a great upgrade. I did that along with a Canadian non-CVCC head. Ran much better & much faster.  The wagons also have bigger front spindles to make a 4x100 conversion easier. Stock they were 4x120. Those are great cars but not as sporty as the hatch. 

Amazing cars! I had an 83 wagon, 5 speed that knocked out 40+mpg on the highway (at 65 max, but still).

Curb weight sub 2k lbs so felt pretty nimble for 100hp haha

similar sheep different wool. Also NMNA

NOTE:  I believe the Civic wagons have a beam rear axle rather than IRS like the hatchback.  Probably still fun to drive, though.
