Did it even cost $5k new?

I would do terrible things to that.

That is a true survivor. Leave it alone, take it out on sunny Sundays, take it to Barret Jackson in a few years, profit. I put that many miles on my cars every two years.

In reply to DukeOfUndersteer:
I'm only mad because I don't have the funding for it......
That is a sweet car!

I can beat that by a huge margin. How about 1300 miles of retro 1989 Volkswagen Fox Coupe goodness!!:
1989 Volkwagen Fox - 1293 miles!
Check out the interior shots!

For $5k, you'd think the guys in the detailing dept. could've broken out a couple rattle cans:
I spy w/my little eye something cancer-colored:
Just sayin.

Wow, we had a 1977 Honda Civic wagon at one time. What a relic. I would rather own the 1978 Ford Fiesta that I had though.

i'd yank out that cute little engine and swap in an LNF out of a Cobalt SS. Why? Because it would annoy sooooo many people. if you're looking at old school foreign cars, i'd love to find a 75 Corolla SR5 hatchback.
a friend of mine had a 79 Fiesta back in 1991 and I remember what an absolute BLAST that car was to drive. It felt like a little rally car! He had three of them and as far as I know, one survived, sitting in a field in Whallonsburg NY

I call BS on the 59k mile quote. The odometer only hs 5 digits, 6 if you count the fraction. Most people who sell them only quote the 99,999 or less mileage in an attempt to get the most money possible.
My first car (a 1980 civic wagon) was in better shape than that one and I paid 1/10 that price. It also had a DOHC ZC motor in it before I was done with it.

The hatchback of that era was a great car - I had an '81 1500DX that took all the pounding a 16-year-old could dish out, including a high-speed rollover. But the wagon's rear suspension was just atrociously bad.

If I had the funds, I'd buy it and add it to my collection of station wagons...
Now if somebody stumbles across a mint '84 Subaru GL10 4WD wagon w/ a 5 spd and the dual-range transfer case, then I'm in deep ca-ca...

Cool or not, $5K is way too optimistic for me. That is NOT a classic.

Guess I'm mad as well, not even slightly interested.

I'm so glad I don't have the money to spare for that right now.
I live in Baltimore. I don't need temptations like this.

Needs something like these wheels:
It's cool and all, but I'd have to be rich to the extent of 5K being pocket change, to drop 5K on an old Civic wagon.

My first car was a Honda Civic CVCC wagon - takes me back!
