Looks like Im selling my 79

[Tom]

Well its finally happening. Im going to put the new front end on and find a new bed, and cover it in a cheap paintjob to make it look good for a couple months so I can sell it. Im going to list it for $6000 and see what happens. Ill be happy with $5500

And ya know what Im getting? A HONDA

[swervin ervin]

I knew the parents would win.

Honda? Ricer.

I feel your pain.....

[Tom]

You guys are on crack. My parents win, never!

My dad offerd to buy me a 98 civic if Id sell my truck. The car would be mine, for free. I told him nope, cant do it. My vehicle has to be fun and fast. Id rather have my 79 then a free car. My parents hate the fact Im going to get a v6 accord instead. They want me to get a 4cyl econo box. No thanks!

And we'll see how ricer Im am when my 25mpg, 300hp, 260lbs/ft n/a [using stock parts] accord whoops your butt mike

[1FaastC10]

stickercharge it, and put a big gay ass wing on it! that would be phat yo!

[68 Stepside]

I agree with faast...that would be dope!

[CRRoy71]

LOL....stickercharge.......LOL That is the first time I heard that one.

[boataddict26]

Why do the parents want you to dump the truck? That SUCKS man!!

[Tom]

Dont worry guys, I already orderd the 3 level aluminum wing with carbon fiber racing streaks, and Ill have plenty of "VTEC" "TYPE-R" and whatever other stickers I can find. Heck, with just those two alone I got 50hp extra

boataddict- my parents dont like old trucks. They really dont like two of them in their driveway every night. I dont have to sell my truck, but since I dont pay rent and I want an accord anyways Ill get rid of it for them. My 78 is my true love anyways, and its not going anywhere, EVER.

[bigblock73]

Tom, how long do you plan on living at home? I don't know how old you are, but why not spend the $$ on School or a house instead. Car payments sure can suck. Invest in your future, get the toys later.

Just my .02

[boataddict26]

Do you have any pics of the 79?

[low 84]

you can't get a v6 accord in manual can you? it would be fun to drive if you could get the new 6 sp in one but i don't think you can?

[messed up c-10]

Cool. I might be getting a Honda soon too. I wont be selling my truck though, but I will be getting a 4cyl econo box. That would be cool to have a big sticker on the back that said "Stickercharged".

No the manaul isent avalible in the 98-02 models like I want [a 99 to be exact] Dosent matter though, these cars are sooo much fun to drive, plus I can always swap the 6sp in
Im 21 and living at home
But that is going to change real soon. Ill be able to afford a newer car and moving out at the same time. Plus with the money Ill save on gas from my 2hr a day drive to work and back, Im making up the difference in payment between my truck and a new car.
I have a pic of my 79, but it still has the bashed up body panels, so Im not posting it

My dad offerred me a brand new 88 Chev 4x4 if I got rid of my 72 Plymouth Sattellite.I have to laugh about it now especially when I told him I,d think about it.I came to my senses and sold the car.

Atleast youll have your '78 still.
I wouldnt mind having a newer v6 accord and my truck.
I actually looked into getting a 4 or 6, they both are pricy.
I like the new 03 models (4-door only, the 2-doors look funny).
They are nice cars and even the 4cyl 5-speed auto has some good pickup. Just too much money for me right now.

I need to get me another car though, old or new, just another ride. It sucks only having one vehicle. I can never take something apart and take my time putting it back together. I want to pull the engine in my truck and do all kinds of stuff, but I would have to rush it and not get done all the things I want to do.

Good luck with the sale of your '79.
Is the '78 even running yet?

You should take the civic for free and put the money from the '79 sale into the '78. Thats what I would do if I were you.
Are you selling anything from the '79 before you sale it?

Then I wouldn't be able to pay off the loan for all the crap Ive put into the 79, and the entire reason I'll sell it is so no more payment. The 78 is not running yet, I need to drop the pan and put a new oil pump rod in. And No Im not parting out the 79. Its getting sold as-is.

[PHOENIX]

You selling it with the sterio stuff in it?
So your getting rid of the payments on the '79 and getting higher payments on an accord?
Have you checked out insurance yet for the newer car?
Being a 21 year old male with a new car will probably be a pretty good amount of money even if you get on your parents account, unless they lie and say you dont drive it.

Do you plan to get a 2 door or 4 door accord?

Yes the sterio stuff goes too. They arent the right components to put into a accord.
It will be a 99 LX 4dr v6 accord, or bust!
Yes Im getting rid of the payment on the 79 and getting a higher one on a used accord. The difference in gas Ill save will make up for it. Insurence will be a little higher, but its not a new car so it wont be too bad. Remeber, we've already had two of these cars in the family
