Gee, it don't look to bad at all... Thanks Elle!

That's a cool car - I've always wanted a 1st- or 2nd-gen Civic. Closest
I've come was a 1st-gen Accord I bought in 1993 for $400 as a short-term
replacement for my wife's VW Rabbit after someone ran a red light and
broadsided her. Wish I still had that car - it was even painted that
particular shade of light green that was common on a lot of 1st-gen
Hondas.

First and second generation Civics are bringing good money on ebay. The
last "good running" 2nd generation brought over $3K. I've seen 1st gen
Civics (depending on mileage/condition) bring as much as $5K.

The advantage with my car is that it is a Texas rust free body. Not one
bolt was frozen...

I was looking for the timing belt replacement interval for
JT's ( = Grumpy's) 83 Civic at the American Honda owner's
link site. I never found the interval, but when the site
asked for the color of the 83 Honda, it listed two: blue and
red. This cracked me up.

These Civics remind me of the snazzy looking new Coopers,
which sell for a lot more than the $200-minus JT paid for
his 83 Civic. ;-)
