Vehicle Detail

1995 Honda del Sol VTEC - OEM B16A3 - 126k - Daily Driver! For sale is my 1995 Honda del Sol VTEC. If you're familiar with these you'll know how rare they are. This was the first Honda model sold in America to have a factory B16 engine in it, well before the 99-00 Civic Si. The del Sol VTEC was sold from 1994-1997 and only 6,138 were built. 1995 is considered the best year for the del Sol VTEC as it was the first year to have rear disc brakes, the first year to have the redesigned targa top seals, the last year for the front auxiliary lights and the last year for the B16A3 (OBD1).The car is in good condition and is my daily driver. Very little rust, there's a gash on the driver's side door and rear quarters where a little is starting to bubble. Way less rust than your average 20 year-old Honda. Previous owner resprayed the fenders OEM Granada Black Pearl which matches the rest of the car well. The car has its original B16A3 and transmission, both working perfect. The previous owner changed the water pump and timing belt at 121,000 miles so no worries there. The valve cover gasket was leaking a bit when I bought it so I replaced it with an OEM Honda gasket and sealed it with Hondabond. The engine does not smoke or leak/burn any oil. Transmission shifts through all gears without any pops/grinds or other issues.I purchased this car in June to daily drive for the summer but it's just too small for me (buyer will understand when they see me. lol). This is a rare car and ready to be daily driven. I have a clean AutoCheck I can provide to interested buyers upon request and a small binder full of receipts. Car is located in Utica, NY.
