1980 Honda Accord with 37k original miles idle video after drive at full temp
This vintage now 40-year-old Honda Accord only has 37,140 original miles. My then 15-year old and I flew all the way to Dallas to the 2nd oldest Honda dealership in the country (1st one was in Santa Rosa California), that sold this car new to a local gentleman about to retire, who 31 years later (when his knee started bothering him that made the stick-shift clutch uncomfortable) took it back to that same Honda dealership and traded in for another new Honda sedan, that one an automatic for his compromised knee. We flew down with one-way tickets and bought this great little car and drove it about 1,000 miles back home to be its next good caretaker. This charming gleaming little auto got many smiles and some questions along our trouble-free journey home... some asked if it was a vintage BMW, some thought and old Benz, but all were charmed by it. This 1st-generation Honda Accord was a landmark model that helped transform Honda from a niche maker of quirky very small cars and in small numbers, to an impressive rapidly growing and quite independent maker of incredibly satisfying and impressive cars at any price. This is the one and only generation of the Accord that was more of a true old-school Japanese style, while the very next generation leaped to be a larger more modern contemporary mainstream style that also become more 'Americanized'... making this an especially special historic Accord generation as it marked this rapidly transformative time for the 'American Honda Motor Company' After many years of keeping this car garaged and cared for, we are listing in on the national BAT collector auction site to find a new owner to put it in their collection, a museum, or for a Honda dealership to permanently display it on their new-car Honda showroom floor in contrast to the greatly evolved modern-day new Accords as a special historic conversation piece.

    I had a 80 accord and dyno’d it once. It made peak 40.2hp to the ground. At the top of the curve it was making 12.7hp. Just thought you might find it interesting. That’s sae corrected on a dynojet

    Really cool that the door buzzer still works in this. I've noticed that in these old Honda's, the door buzzer will sound when the front passenger door is open too. Does that buzzer sound when a back door is open too?

    These old Honda's are great! And they seem to last forever! For the early 80's models, they were a high-quality car, for the money! They drove nice, and handled great too!! The only thing was, they were under-powered, with the CVCC 4-cylinder, maybe, 85- 90 HP!!! I had a 4-door just like this one, same color too! Mine was a 1981 model. It was a great car!

    • @michaelbell8834
      @michaelbell8834 Před rokem

      Replace the old Keihin carburetor with a Weber carburetor retrofit and they'll breathe much better which gives a noticeable horsepower boost. An added benefit is all the vacuum crap that a keihin requires with it's vacuum servos can all be deleted, greatly decluttering the engine bay.

    My first car was the green version of this. 1980 accord, 5 speed with the same little analog clock in the dash. It had over 100K miles in 1990 when I got it. Folks thought it was an old BMW at the time, just like you said. Are you sure it's only 37k? That's incredibly low. The odometer rolls over at 99999 so it could be 137k or more.
