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.
Now here’s a true JDM legend for sale in Pennsylvania right now. Of course, we know the Honda Civic Type R, but it wasn’t until the FK8 or fifth iteration of Honda’s halo Civic that we officially got it in the United States. By that time, it came packing turbocharged power, but gone were the old, naturally aspirated, high-revving engines. Thankfully, JDM Civic Type Rs have made it here, such as this 82,000-mile 1997 Honda Civic Type R from the EK generation. This was the first generation of Type R, and debuted for the 1997 model year, in Japan. This car comes with a host of Hardrace enhancement parts too, making it a real street warrior. And of course, there’s that screaming 1.6-liter VTEC engine that can show you over 8,000rpm on the tachometer if you dare.
