Description / Overview:
Find a 3-door Accord today. Go on. Most of what survived the decades are the 4-door sedans. This is the hatchback, a body style that was rare when new and is genuinely scarce now. Champagne Gold Metallic, Hondamatic, built February 1985, and all numbers match. The compliance plate and firewall VIN stamp both read JHMAAD7320C115095. Engine number ET1-2510613 is the original 1.8L CVCC unit, still in the bay where it left the factory.
It has 247,938km on the clock and three known issues: smoke, oil leak, and hissing at idle. This is a project car and the price reflects that. The body is decent for a 40-year-old Accord. The paint carries mild oxidation on the horizontal surfaces but no significant rust-through, no major dents, and the lower body cladding on the bumpers and sills has done its job. The dashboard pad is in impressive condition with no sun cracking. The rear seat looks barely used. All badges are present including the HONDAMATIC script on the tailgate confirming the transmission.
The engine needs attention. Budget for a valve cover gasket at minimum, a vacuum line inspection to address the idle hiss, and a compression test to understand what the smoke is telling you. It is not a running driver today. What it is is a rare body style, matching numbers, good bones, and an honest asking price. These do not come up often. The right person will know what to do with it.
Price Guide: $2,500 - $3,500
Priced as a project and rightly so. The rarity of the 3-door body style supports the guide even with the known mechanicals. A running, sorted example would be worth considerably more.
