Lookin' for an A
« on: August 09, 2013, 12:42:41 AM »
I'm interested in buying another Hondamatic....either a '77 or a '78.
Anyone have one to sell?  Doesn't have to be running.

I have a 1978 with 550 original miles - could be persuaded if the number was right....wa going to ebay it
I have only had it for a month and when I got it it only had 490 miles - actual original mileage...runs great, no dry rot etc - some oxidation.....very clean

Do you have a ball park number you are looking to spend for a good driver? Are you looking for a project to get running or a good runner that needs elbow grease to get beautiful?
I have a stock Sword blue 77 A that runs and drives well that has some cosmetic issues from sitting in a damp shed for too long before I brought it home as a project for the Kid and myself. It cleaned up pretty good but not perfect. We drive it daily with no issues and it has 20,000+ miles.

I offered to sell it before  but chickend out  as it is unique to drive and my son drives it nearly every day to work.
