damn, i love that.
Something we didn't expect to come across our desk today: a 1984 Honda Civic powered by a 3.2-liter V6 out of an Acura CL Type S that now lives behind the rear seats. Think of it as a slightly newer Renault R5, but with serious RADwood vibes.
The best part? It's for sale.
Said to be the creation of hotrod builder Andy Barcheck in the late '80s and early '90s, this Civic comes fitted with box fender flares, brakes from a Corvette, and modified coil-overs meant for a 240Z.
Upon writing this, the current bid sits at $25,000. If previous Civics are anything to go by, this number might grow pretty quickly in the next few days.
Included in the sale are numerous documentation items, including "build photos, service records, shop manuals, and articles featuring the car."
Find this mid-engine 1984 Honda Civic 3.2-liter six-speed on Bring a Trailer.

MAJOR WANTAGE
I always wanted to do that with a 2nd generation Integra hatch and a supercharged K24, but this is cooler.
So cool.
SOO SOOOOO COOOOOL
Second only to Super Synchronicity.
That car originally used the C25A 2.5L V6 out of a 1st-generation Legend. I remember a big deal being made about that car back on the Acura Legend forums. That and the 1G Legend with a supercharged NSX engine and transmission mounted up front driving the front wheels.

That sounds insane. I love it.
25 large starting bid seems optimistic for a Honda Fiero.
It won't have any trouble with the starting bid. You are apparently not the target demographic here.

Here's the build thread: http://forums.acuralegend.org/showthread.php?t=517 Not sure how many of the photos are still active anymore, that's a 10+ year old thread. The story was that the guy's son owned this 1G Legend and loved it. He passed away unexpectedly, and the father decided to turn it into the ultimate Acura Legend in his memory.
Wow! That is way cool!
Now THAT is a passion project.
