1979 Honda Civic 1200, old school!
 
I went and visited Wallace Honda & Acura to check out their old school civic!

Pics shot by me, inside their shop due to rain outside. But I still dig them!

It would be 10x nicer if some Mexican hadn't airbrushed it

Also, aren't those wings the mark of Honda Motorcycles and not the auto division?

I really think the appeal of a car like this is keeping it close to original as possible with some period correct aftermarket wheels.

Pinstripes were big for everyone in the 70s, so I can dig it.

Love the old school looking speakers and the car is sweet.

Airbrush blows, but a nice clean ride otherwise.

That suspension... wow. Things sure have changed in the last 30 odd years on low-end compact cars.

Thanks for posting such an incredible car. Airbrush work and trying to keep it old school isn't seen much anymore. This car craftsmanship and detail is hard to come by now a days. Bravo on a well built car.

Yeah some might not like the air brushing or pin striping, but the owner has a different time frame in mind. Still a cool little car and has cool little features like the etching on the glass and the chrome details.

I mainly just wanted to show off my pics and the car, but its all good!

Looks great except for the underhood "art". Looks like this was taken at Wallace South off Research Rd, is that correct?

Nice.... I wish someone would build up a 1st gen prelude. Saw a flawless 1979 prelude at CAP a couple of years ago. Nice and clean silver paint with mint condition red vinyl interior. Very sad to see it in the j/k.
