Reviving a 40-Year-Old Car With Only 69 Miles! 

I could apply that to my life.

Yeah like dont let WhistlinDiesel anywhere near it..... But it should absolutley get to enjoy being a car for once! Thats what it is!!!!

@@Compman007 Agree 100%

A few things £ = that is rather surprise us/me -- that a Car in the Museum, like this Honda = should be on the Wood Blocks not sitting on Shocks/and Tires ─ in 1998; we/I went to have seen a Datsun 240 ZX ─ 1975; the Owner was a Missionary Priest/Reverent in Japan his car was parked on 4 Wood Blocks so no weights applied on Tires/Rims and Shocks/Coils... He had the Car running idle when he was back in Canada for Resting and Visiting Families. Even our/my Peugeot 1986 505 Turbo when not used were always on the Blocks/Jacks so the Suspension won't be put on weights... And a Museum of Cars should have known and start up the Engine/Cars every month? So much things done bizarre in the Honda Museum? They should be Smarten up... Regards, Ps: In 1983 we rented a Honda Civic Sedan 4-door Model Year 1981 and 4 of us ─ about 130 lbs each loaded ─ Taken off from Toronto to Niagara Falls on QEW ─ The Civic drove 120 km/hr. like a Tesla... And in 1993 ─ We/ our friend owned a used Honda Civic 1975 ─ with the Choke that we had to pull out and waited then started... That 1975 Civic Last until 2005... before it was all Rusted badly; but Engine was still running very quiet!!! 😍😍💘💘

Sorry, but your elderly neighbor was wrong. I have owned a few English cars of the same era and none of them rattled.

@@bigmacdaddy1234 I said that about the pots and pans. Not him ... lol U serious? English cars , bits would fall off on rough roads

While it’s true that Japan helped introduce a new level of finished quality to the industry, and some American and British offerings could be suspect in that regard, hearing them coming like pots and pans would be a huge exaggeration.

@@mr.butterworth4216 ok ... maybe a cookie tin full of ball bearings and bolts. my parents had a Jaguar MK2 and the exhaust system fell out of it on a hill in Sydney ... the Chevrolet Malibu we had in the middle East literally it rattled even when it sat still , then we had an XJ6 in the 80's and one of the front brakes disintegrated going along the bay in Melbourne

I'll back that up at least where American cars were at the time. There's a very good reason my dad bought my mom an Accord in the early eighties. That car ended up with nearly a half million miles on it and never spent a day in the shop except for oil changes and brake pads / discs.

No rust, no grime, factory condition with no hacks!

I'm very sorry for you

@@bk27117 Dont be. But the best version of this car is the CRX of course. This car has a better looking interior than a new Tesla even.

Clean and simple. I wish they still made these.

Maybe they are divesting non-productive inventory.

Turn vehicles, I find there is a correlation between condition of paint and body and mechanical condition, found an 02 Escape, Amazing what proper maintenance does.😊

My 99 accord has A/C but doesn’t work. Needs recharging so I just ride with the windows down and I sweat. 🥵

They mention the tires at 15:50

@@michaelrockwell9691 ...and yet they were neither coming from nor going to a tire shop. If I were taking care of the car, it would be the first or next place it went.

It would be complete therapy! I would love that! Thx

167k miles in 3 years??? Stop lying!!!!

@@xxtravdamanxx yea -when I was 19-21, I made some huge road trips all over the USA n Canada. The 95 S10 I got with 4 miles - I put 75k under the 1 yr lease.....they were pizzed!

The voyager vans with the sealed beam headlights... Those used to be everywhere.

Only downside of such an old car, AC was an option...

@@volvo09 Yup, I bought a new 1982 Accord hatchback, and later a 1984 Accord hatchback both w/o a/c or any options at all. My 1992 Civic hatchback I sprung for a/c and a passenger side mirror. 🙂 (That Civic DX with the options cost $10,200 new.)

Back in that era I was doing "dealer installed factory AC" on new Nissans. When done correctly, it was almost impossible to see the difference between the factory and dealer installed units. The main reason for installing the AC here was the import tax on whole cars. Parts and accessories were not taxed at the same rate.

@@rupe53 The a/c on my new 1992 Civic was dealer installed too. (When I bought my new 1980 Nissan 200sx hatchback, the a/c was already on the car at the lot, so not sure if the dealer installed or not....all I remember is when you turned it on, you really felt the drain on the engine and lack of power.)

​@@pcthayeryes! It really sucked the power from older cars. I could feel the difference when turning the AC on in my 80's Volvos. Full carload + AC really felt like you were dragging the brakes!

Nope. Tommy just turned the headlights on.

He just has the lights on, no DRL's back then.

Same here - class of ‘84. Though after 40 years, the Honda is looking better than I am 😂

Yes they were sold in Europe. My family had one of these when I was a kid; they were called „shuttle“. The design was quite futuristic in the early 80’s. I remember the look of disbelief on the face of the service station clerk in France as he exclaimed: „De l‘essence? Avec cette voiture?“😂
