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.

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.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
