1978 Honda Accord LX for sale
Current customer rating: (207 votes ) based onI planned on doing a Weber carburetor conversion at some point after buying it through eBay. However. the car had probably 4 owners. and upon the shipper picking up the car. I discovered that it doesn't run. It was too late; the seller hadn't disclosed certain facts. I had the car brought home. played around with it trying to see what I can do to get it going but I just don't have time any more to figure things out that are beyond my personal mechanical capability.
It could be something simple as vapor lock. fuel filter or simply 6 gallons of old gas from July 2016 in the tank from the previous owner. Or the buildup of condensation in the combustion chamber from sitting too long. Maybe the engine hydrolocked due to blown head gasket. since the motor oil was milky when I checked and very low that the car could've suffered oil starvation and gave up. Perhaps it overheated and blew the head gasket and could've suffered damage to the pistons and rods when attempting to run on Starting fluid and then maybe it gave up completely. The engine rotates but does not want to start. even after pumping the pedal many times. I know the oil pressure bulb on the dash doesn't come on at all so that's why I suspect the engine starved.
I do not want to see this car get destroyed. especially since the body and interior are in good condition and the ragtop doesn't leak and the rear tailgate/hatch struts are working properly. I would love for whoever gets it to restore her and keep her on the road. I love this car but do not have time and hope another Honda enthusiast is able to get it back on the road.
I have explained all details and if something needs to get clarified or explained. just ask before you bid. What I am asking is a fair price. The body is as best as it can be for an *original* unrestored 40 year old Honda that spent its entire life in California.
