5-Speed Hatchback: 1989 Honda Accord

I love this; stick shift, flip up headlights, classic Honda goodness. All for $2,800!
Yep, it’s a legit unicorn. My only caveat is the sea of vacuum hoses on this presumably carbureted Honda.
Also, wasn’t ’88 the last year of this generation?
Off the top of my head, not sure. Maybe 89. I do know my folks had a 90 Accord EX Coupe that was the shit in its day. Last I heard, as of maybe 5 years ago, it was still running around Lafayette, LA after being passed through the hands of several extended family members. Long may she run.
