The 1975 Honda Civic CVCC was the ONLY car sold in the US that year that met ALL EPA emissions requirements without the need for a catalytic convertor or a smog pump. These cars are getting difficult to find because they had major rust issues. So bad in fact the the NHTSA issued a recall for the cars. This car was sold NEW here in dry sunny Arizona and I purchased it from the grand daughter of the original owners. That being said there is no major rust on this vehicle EXCEPT for the spare tire well which filled with water and rusted from the inside out (see photos). The floors, rocker panels, fenders, wheel wells and body are all in great shape. There is rust in the wheel wells but it is not cancer and the metal is still very sound and solid. It does show slight surface rust in the paint but no cancer except for the spare tire well. This is the CVCC model with the 5 speed manual transmission. As can be seen from the photos, this is a project car. It is not currently running. The timing belt tensioner appears to have let loose. The belt is clearly NOT broken but is loose and slips easily off of the cam gear. Fortunately my research shows that the 1400CC Honda CVCC motor is a non-interference motor which means no damage has occurred to the head. Here are 2 websites that show this: mechdb.com and aa1car.com The 1.4L engine is not on these lists of interference engines. The mileage shown is on a 5 digit odo and I and sure that it is probably 131447 but have no way of verifying. I have and will include a factory service manual and an original owners manual I bought on Ebay. Again, this is a project car but these are too rare to not save. Please ask all questions or request additional pictures before bidding as I am happy to answer questions or provide additional photos. Car is sold AS IS and no warranties are made. Buyer must pickup car in Tucson but I will be happy to work with your shipper to coordinate a smooth and successful pickup. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.
