1985 Honda Accord 3-Door Hatchback - Brown Gold - 247,938km - Project Opportunity
1985 Honda Accord, 3-door hatchback, front-wheel drive, 1.8-litre 4-cylinder petrol, automatic, 247,938km, 5 seats.
Description
The third-generation Honda Accord hatchback is one of those cars that helped build Honda's reputation in Australia during the 1980s. Compact, efficient and genuinely well-engineered, the three-door Accord combined practicality with a level of refinement that was ahead of its class at the time. These are becoming increasingly scarce on Australian roads, and clean examples are starting to attract attention from JDM enthusiasts and classic car collectors alike.
This Australian-delivered example, complied in January 1985, presents remarkably well for its age and kilometres. The Brown Gold metallic paint retains good gloss across all panels, with straight bodywork and consistent panel gaps throughout. The interior is a genuine highlight, with the original tan two-tone cloth and vinyl trim in excellent condition across both front and rear seats. The dashboard is crack-free, which is unusual for a car of this vintage. The engine bay houses the original 1.8-litre ET1 carbureted four-cylinder paired with the Hondamatic automatic transmission, and the bay presents as clean and largely original with no signs of modification or major work.
Vendor advises the vehicle is currently exhibiting mechanical issues, including visible smoke, an oil leak and a hissing noise at idle. At a guide of $2,500 to $3,500, this represents a solid project opportunity. Comparable 1985 Accords in running condition are listed from $4,500 on the private market, so there is upside here for anyone willing to sort the mechanicals on what is otherwise a very tidy survivor.
