The 1979 Honda Civic represents a major historic milestone as the final model year of the groundbreaking first-generation Civic (1972-1979), while simultaneously marking the mid-year introduction of the completely redesigned second-generation Civic (1980-1983) in June 1979. Revered as an automotive 'giant-killer,' this lightweight fuel-sipper cemented Honda's reputation globally by providing ultra-reliable engineering during the 1970s oil crises. First-Generation vs. Second-Generation (1979 Transition) - First-Gen (1972-1979): Highly rounded, compact silhouette weighing roughly 1,700 lbs with iconic circular headlights. - Second-Gen (Launched June 1979): Larger, significantly more angular body style aligned with the Honda Accord, offering increased cabin room and extra horsepower. Key Features Innovation - CVCC Engine Technology: Featuring the advanced Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion design, it utilized a unique 3-valve pre-chamber configuration. This allowed the car to pass strict EPA emissions rules without a catalytic converter, letting owners run cheaper leaded fuel. - Powertrains: Offered a base 1,169cc (1200) inline-four engine or the highly popular 1,488cc (1500) CVCC variant. - Transmissions: Available in a 4-speed manual, a crisper 5-speed manual, or the unique 2-speed semi-automatic Hondamatic. - Body Styles: Ranged from the quintessential 3-door hatchback to a 2-door sedan, 5-door hatchback, and a utilitarian station wagon. Part of the Duncan Imports collection since 2021 this car is currently for sale.
