Kidney, Anyone? Mint 1979 Honda Civic

This 1979 Honda Civic doesn’t quite have the low mileage as the 1427-mile Mazda RX-4 from last week, but it’s close. Besides, who’s going to complain about a 33,000-mile car that’s 30 years old, especially one in this condition? Our vintage Honda friend Ken Weidner says that it’s been years since he’s seen in-tact houndstooth upholstery.
This looks to be a dealer showroom display, and with an asking price between the highest bid of $4550 and the BuyItNow $6250, we think it’s a pretty good buy for a collector. Dan is our resident classic Honda nut, and I had to personally stop him from selling all his worldly possessions and rushing out to Arizona. The reserve hasn’t been met yet, so it’s still in Phoenix waiting for a good home.
More pics after the jump.

The Auction ended at 10:00 Sat. nite. Doohhh! I live just up the hill from Phoenix, (in Flagstaff) and was all fired up to go down and take a look at it. We drive right past Showcase Honda on the way to my wife’s Mom’s house, so next time I go by, I’ll swing in and see if it’s still there. and how much they want for it.

Aw Man! It’s got one of the rare wooden steering wheels, too.

It didn’t sell, so it should still still be there. I want to see this go to a good home. Do it, man!!
