Apparently, this 1995 Honda Accord Wagon appeared in the original The Fast and the Furious movie before someone chopped it to make a convertible. It certainly is an oddity. I’m just not sure what else to say about it.
It seems this was once nice enough to be a ‘show car’, but it’s now basically a POS. The seller provides several paragraphs of info and doesn’t claim this one runs. Apparently, the engine isn’t seized, though, which provides some level of comfort.

Kinda looks like a mini truck from this angle. Nice tail lights!
Supposedly, a clear hood is included in the deal!
Green interior trim – classy.
Yes, this one has an engine. That’s about all the seller says about it.
Ad text:
UPDATE – yes, I realize that some of the interior panels are missing in the pictures but we do have them & they are included. (front driver under dash panel, seat backs, half of rear seat, rear compartment liner, etc) I just didn’t take new pictures since these were taken when we last had it out to do the exhaust & a few other things.
The last 4 pictures are from the magazine & what it looked like in the movie before the mods.
This car has been on the cover of magazines & was also in the original Fast & furious movie when it was still the chameleon color & had a roof. It was Hectors car with the clear hood. There is no top. This is a show car & would be an awesome beach cruizer.
It has since been heavily modified & the roof side windows removed as well as the rear hatch & rear doors, door handles etc… I have the clear plastic hood & the original metal hood.
It has a new carpet kit, new aluminum radiator & new exhaust installed only driven 1 time since. Tons of chrome in the engine & suspension. Chrome arms etc. It has a big brake kit installed up front & chrome rear drums. This car has only been driven about 3 times in the last 10 years. We just recently went through it & replaced the clutch master & slave cylinder & fuel pump. We also dropped the gas tank & cleaned it out. We pulled & oiled the cylinders, turned it over a couple times with a wrench in case anything was bound & the ran it to make sure the engine is in working condition.
This would be a great business promo vehicle if you put a “wrap” on it. The body kit has seem better days & if you plan to use the car painted you may be better off with a new kit unless you want to do the body work to get this one back in shape. A wrap would cover up the imperfections pretty well though. I was thinking of putting a more modern Benz or BMW front end on it as the rest of the car has the “what is it” factor so the front end will determine what it is.
The rear tail lights are shaved so you will need to put some in if you intend to drive it & the interior needs to be touched up as it has been sitting for quite some time & some changes were planned so some was pulled apart. With all the new LED light strips etc I would suggest making a little LED strip to sit right on top of the back of the car behind the upholstery. Should be pretty easy & not to pricey.
I have tons of extra parts to go with it as well as a turbo that was not put back in when we dropped the engine back in after painting the engine compartment. We did not have the intercooler piping for some reason but we do have a small intercooler that you will get with it.
Suspension is adjustable on cylinders but they need need new rings as they leak. You may be better off with strut bags & electric valves. It does have a compressor & chrome tank installed.
I had plans to do it up a number of years ago but ended up getting married & having kids so just don’t have the time any more.
serious buyers only, this is not a personal car show for people that just want to see it…

I remember this issue of Import Tuner Mag, with this Centerfold Feature of the Accord. I remember it had some sort of custom roll cage and it was one sick ride back then. In those days custom mods were always the way to go. This Accord was one of the best builds I'd seen back then. It would be nice to get it back to the original stat, Show and Cover Mag Cover ready. I would name it the "COMEBACK FROM THE DEAD". Nice to see this bad ass Wagon again. Is it still for sale, if so please inbox me with info at jay_reyes101173@yahoo.com
