The Honda Civic, a name synonymous with compact, sporty efficiency, has carved out a legendary status in the automotive world. While today's Civics are celebrated for their sportiness and tuning potential, the Civic's origins lie in the 1970s, when it was introduced as an antidote to the gas-guzzling American V8s. It represented a new era of economical, mass-market motoring. This 1979 Honda Civic CVCC Hatchback, a well-preserved all-original example with under 39,000 miles, is a testament to this paradigm shift. Its historical significance makes it a prized possession for collectors who value the transformative impact of the Civic in the automotive landscape.
This 1979 Honda Civic CVCC, bathed in a quintessential Seventies Metallic Orange hue, perfectly embodies the era's style and Honda's design philosophy of simplicity and functionality. Its compact size, a mere 148 inches in length, is a stark contrast to the bulky cars of its time, even with its extended safety bumpers required for the North American market. The Civic rides on small steel wheels, and according to the current owner, the tires are well-maintained. Its exterior is adorned with Honda, CVCC, and Hondamatic badges, subtly showcasing its technological advancements. The interior of the Civic CVCC is a study in minimalism and efficiency. It features beige seats, manual wind-up windows, and a straightforward three-gauge cluster, providing only essential information to the driver. The car eschews luxury for practicality, with a heater, blower, rear window defroster, and a simple AM radio. The modest trunk space behind the rear seat bench is adequate for daily needs, reinforcing the car's practical nature.
Under the hood, the 1979 Honda Civic CVCC is powered by a 1,488ccL inline 4-cylinder engine from Honda's innovative CVCC (Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion) engine line. This engine, breathing through a 3-barrel carburetor, produces a modest 52hp and 68lb-ft of torque, was a marvel of engineering efficiency during the Malaise Era in the United States. It is paired with a two-speed Hondamatic automatic transmission, delivering power to the front wheels. The CVCC engine was designed for improved combustion efficiency, which resonated well in a market increasingly conscious of fuel economy and emissions. This Civic CVCC is not just a car but a symbol of a pivotal era in automotive history.

The Honda Civic Type R is a legendary nameplate in JDM circles, as well as anywhere in the world where there's a significant showing of Japanese cars. It's the most hardcore variant of Honda's Civic that one can buy straight from the manufacturer. Over the years, the Civic has evolved into one of the finest front-wheel-drive cars on the market. It set Nürburgring records and won many fans. It's a poster car for many children who grew up in the Nineties and are now able to afford it. That's why this 2023 Honda Civic Type R may not stay in our inventory for very long, especially since it's got just 800 miles on it. If it seems to be calling out your name, don't delay.

Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
