Somebody the other day was lamenting the death of cheap project cars, but I think the discussion may have been premature. This next car is about as cheap as you can get for a classic Honda CRX, and I am intrigued despite the multiple issues it faces. And yes, it will need to be towed. Find this 1988 Honda CRX Si offered for $1200 in Palmdale, CA via craigslist.
You might attempt to adjust your glasses when you first look at this next thing…but they are likely fogged up from your mask…take yer mask off for a few minutes (if you aren’t afraid of Big Mask coming after you) and gaze at the glory that is a convertible Honda CRX. It looks like an […]
The Honda CRX was an interesting two-seat front-drive economy sports car that really shook up the market when it was introduced in 1983. There were few other cars on the road that could be optioned to get 40mpg city/50mpg highway (in the CRX HF) or provide an exhilarating driving experience (CRX Si). Today’s example has […]
There are a few key things that I like about this next ride. FIRST, is the color. I’m a sucker for bronze/copper/gold paint that doesn’t look like something aftermarket rattle can job…and this looks appropriately bronze without the brassy tones you’d expect from a bad dye job.

On the top of my list of cars that we almost never find in un-modified and original trim is Honda’s fabulous CRX sports coupe.

Cars costing five grand are the life blood of DT. It is a dicey price point that can lead to any number of potential outcomes: a slightly better than beater, money pit, the nickel and dimer, or the diamond in the rough . Craigslist searching skills, hard negotiating, and knowledge of a marque all go […]
Normally a car being advertised without a engine and transmission would be not be anything to jump up and down about. However, the Honda’s two seater CRX practically begs for a more modern power plant so today’s example has saved you a lot of man hours in removal time. Honda’s alphabet soup of four cylinder […]
It is truly remarkable how a 62 horsepower car that does 0-60 in about 14 seconds Dodge Demon got me all misty eyed searching for victims to write about. The fuel sipping CRX HF 40 city mpg and 47 highway mpg ratings are impressive to this day. The most difficult part of owning this car […]
The Fast and Furious franchise is in its eighth instalment now, serving as a blight on petrolheads and movie-goers alike since 2001. However, the franchise has victimised more than just people; it’s wrought some of the worse crimes against cars seen in the last few decades. An un-riced Honda CRX is like a satisfying high […]
When Honda introduced their 2-seat sporty version of the Civic in 1984, it was really in a class by itself. It provided an unmatched combination of reliability, tossability, and fun for a price that was hard to beat…which is still the case today, except that you can add low long term costs and extreme frugality […]
