85 Crx With Lots Of Extra Parts For Sale
The Quaff 08 Jan 2022
Hello Everyone,
I'm very sad to say, it's time to get rid of my 85 that I have had for the last 7+ years. I am trimming down to one project car since I now have a project house that needs attention.
I am selling my 85 CRX with an 87 Si motor in it. It was swapped from carb to FI and the write up I did is still on this forum, so you can check that if you want to.

I have a pretty good collection of extra parts that I have found over the years and took off of the rusted out 87 Si doner car. This was my daily driver for years and I freakin love this car, but she has succumbed to the fate of most New England cars, rust... I even tried to preserve her by doing the oil undercoat, but the salt still got through and has rusted a hole in the passenger side footwell. It will no longer pass state inspection, and I unfortunately don't have the time to repair this or the space to store her for when I do have the time. Other than the one hole in the floor, the underside of the car is in pretty good shape. There is some rust on the left A-pillar and the left wheel well, but otherwise there isn't too much rust on the body.
The cooling fan stopped working one day while driving home a few months ago and the car overheated. It is blowing some white smoke, so the head gasket is definitely blown, however it still runs strong and sounds alright. I have not investigated the head gasket issue further due to not being inspectable... The motor has about 40,000 mi on it since the rebuild and the body has about 225,000 mi on it. The odometer is from the Si which had about 380,000 mi when I rebuilt/swapped it, and now sits at 421,xxx mi.
This is a great lot of parts and I feel it could be useful to someone on this forum. I wanted to offer it up to RPR members first as I know you will appreciate this more than most people. I am located in Central Vermont and am willing to meet somewhere if that helps anyone. I have a trailer so I could possibly deliver the car for an added fee, depending on your location. I'm looking to get $1500 but price is negotiable. Mainly I want this car/parts to be used in someone else's CRX and not send it to the junkyard.
Let me know if anyone has questions or is interested.
Thanks for looking.
Matt

Amazing list of parts, are you selling those separately from the car?
The Quaff 09 Feb 2022
I am not selling them separately, it comes as a whole package.
Also, here are more pictures.

Amazing collection of parts. If you ever decide to sell some of the parts let us know. I have an 85 and would love those hubcaps, have the same ones and an extra set would be awesome. Other parts of interest as well and I am sure others would be.
keep us posted and best of luck

Yay, the rust killing it! The inside actually looks in pretty good shape! If it wasn’t all the way across the country I would jump on it.

I sold the car and all the parts this past weekend. The guy was extremely excited which made me happy to sell it to him. I will definitely miss this car, but it's time to move on. Thanks for everyone's help over the years. Hopefully someday in the future I can find another one of these little gems and re-join the CRX fam.

Glad it worked out. Hopefully you mentioned RPR to the new owner!
The Quaff 31 Mar 2022
Thanks, I'm glad it worked out too. All I wanted was for someone to give her another chance, and I think he is intending on doing that. I think I did mention RPR to him while we were talking/selling. However, I gave him A LOT of information in a short amount of time that day, so I'll remind him again in the future in case he missed it. You guys are the best 1st Gen CRX resource on the internet.
So, yea, thanks everyone.
