This next car comes from tipper Jeff who writes: To borrow an analogy, putting this much boost through a SOHC is like eating 6 Taco Bell burritos and trusting a fart... it's only a matter of time. That being said, if it's built right and the seller has the sheet/receipts to prove it, talk about a wicked sleeper.

In preparation for Halloween, I present this next Horrorod feature with words and tips from Matt C. What could be scarier than a sub-$1000 V12 Jaguar? How about taking over a project where somebody else threw a random pile of parts together and didn't quite get it finished? Here's a trio of sketchy Frankenstein builds!
The 5-door Honda Civic Shuttle (previously called the Wagovan) was a crossover before there was such a thing as crossovers, but it competed with Toyota's Tercel Wagon and Subaru's Wagon thing in the small 4X4 wagon segment. Power in the Civic Shuttle came from a 109 horsepower 1.6 liter 4-banger that was mated to a 6 (YES SIX) speed manual gearbox that featured a stump-pulling first gear good for about 2.1 mph at redline.

You could drive a vehicle with great fuel economy to save the whales, the planet, or all of the people living in low sea level areas, or you could drive a vehicle with good fuel economy because you are a degenerate cheapskate -- but it really doesn't matter as long as that car doesn't make you look like a 1%er douche who is attempting make up for his ruthless capitalistic business deals by driving an electric luxury car..cough cough Tesla...cough..sorry...anyway, if you want to drive something that gets great fuel economy AND makes you look cool, skip the overpriced new junk and drive this classic Honda.

This next car comes as a seller submission from Leon and it is listed on a curated car auction site called Second Daily....which appears to be an interesting auction site in the vein of BringATrailer but with a more down-to-earth vibe and the final auction prices aren't bonkers. The car was a Grassroots Motorsports project car and appears to be quite the zippy little Honda. Find this 2000 Honda Civic Si bidding for $5000 with 3 days remaining on SecondDaily.com.

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. 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). Find this 1987 Honda CRX here on eBay bidding for $4,050 with a few hours to go, located in La Mirada, CA.
In the 1990's, the Civic really hit it's stride here in the US and became a runaway hit for Honda. The beloved hatchback body style was very commonly found during this time period. JDM modifications and the Fast and the Furious craze were at near peak so a modified Japanese cars were literally a dime a dozen. An enterprising soul has chopped the top on today's Civic hatchback, but chose pass on installing a convertible top of any sort. The builder completely re-engineered the rear seat and hatch area into a functional hot dog stand. The final product is surely the most Daily Turismo Civic to ever roam the streets.

It was big news when Honda released a hatchback version of the 2017 Civic. The hatchback body style has not been available over here since 2005. The fourth generation Civic was a available from 1987-1991 as a sedan, coupe, hatchback, wagon, and a two seat CRX. The DX was the no frills model that this unfancy list of optional equipment: power steering, rear wash/wipe, clock, passenger door mirror, wheel covers, and auto transmission. What the Civic lacked in luxury features it made up for in driving fun and fuel economy. The 92 horsepower4 cyl SOHC engine only had 2165 lbs to haul around.

Way back in the 1990s if you had a hopped up Civic with a Type R engine, you would be king of the block. People in Mustangs, Camaros, and Porsches would risk being embarrassed by the lightweight front-drive machine with 150-or-so horsepower and a good driver....but times, they have 'a' changed. Your Type R swapped Civic is certainly faster than a stock SI, but you'll be smoked by some grandpa in a Toyota Avalon.

The EM1 sixth generation Honda Civic Si is considered one of the best Civic Si models ever made. The Si coupe had light weight, nimble handling, good gas mileage, and came with a very high revving four cylinder engine. The JDM tuning scene featured in the 2001 movie The Fast and the Furious was in high gear by this time period. It is near impossible to find any year Civic Si without any modifications.

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 to the top of the list.

The economy swings up and down as measured by various indexes and it needs to, because how else will the billionaires make more billions if the market was stagnant and just slowly growing....this is Market 101 here folks, nothing you shouldn't have learned at prep school. Anyway, as the market swings up and down, so does the price of gasoline...and consequently so does the price of fuel sipping used cars. A few years ago when gas was $5/gallon, you could sell a 2 year old Prius for more than MSRP, but today fuel prices are low so now is the best time to pick up some oddball classic from the 80s that gets great mileage.

The fourth generation Honda Civic is not a car that you find in good original condition very often -- it seems that most have been driven/smashed into the ground or pimped out by Mountain Dew chugging teenagers. Thankfully, a few have escaped the shopping cart dings and fart-can mufflers that roam the parking lots of American strip malls.
