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.
While there have been multiple generations of the Chevrolet Camaro, the 1969 model year is one of the most loved by many. The design is timeless and inspired the 2010 revival of the model with the fifth generation. The Camaro was made in response to the success of Ford’s hit, the Mustang. Although the Blue Oval had a headstart, the first-generation Camaro was able to fine-tune the formula, using a brand new F-Body platform and a range of straight-six and V8 engines. For the 1969 model year, the Camaro featured an all-new design, with an aggressive and angular front end, wider “coke-bottle” hips, and new doors. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a restomod with a new supercharged 376ci LSX V8 engine under the hood, as well as several upgrades. The owner reports that this Camaro has only 5,828 miles on it since the build was completed.
The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
It’s not often that concept cars translate well into production. Concepts usually don’t have to bend to legislation or practicality and are therefore often left as flights of fancy, perhaps spurring a watered-down production car bearing a few minor elements. But for the Chevrolet Corvette C3, the links between it and the Mako Shark II concept car are a dead giveaway. The C3 was a departure for the Corvette line, and included a long hood, concealed headlights, and a short deck. The same silhouette set the tone for virtually every generation of ’Vette that followed. Our featured car is a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with an exceptionally low mileage of just 25,591. The current owner even reports having documentation on hand to authenticate the car’s mileage.
