Former Lane Motor Museum Push-Me-Pull-You 1979 Honda Civic!

How do we know this came from the Lane? We’ve seen it in the basement! Also, anything this weird in Nashville probably has something to do with Lane.

So, what is it? It’s two front halves of 1979 Honda Civics grafted together, resulting in two driver’s seats, side-by-side and facing opposite directions. As clearly noted in the ad, this needs some work, but maybe not too much.  We love the condition description for each side:

Side 1: Somewhat driveable. The engine runs fairly well, but we have not run for very long only around our parking lot. Lights and wipers work. Brakes work at parking lot speeds. Driver’s side window is missing.

Side 2: Not driveable at this time. Engine will run. The carburetor needs work. It leaks gas, so the fuel line has been plugged. Lights and wiper work. Brake pedal has pressure, however have not been tested. Driver’s side window is there, but is plexi-glass which has seen better days.

Would you rock this? We’re tempted, but would like to know where fuel is stored first and might need a primer on how to lock out the opposite side steering wheel to prevent unexpected turns.  Best would be to get this 100% running and execute awesome parking moves – pull in/pull out.  Technically, one is never “reversing”…

Front view or back view?  Who cares?  The ouch decal is a bonus.

At least a top view is well defined here, but which way is forward?

Other view of same side.

Things look normal here until one sees the two steering wheels inside.

We love this interior.

Here’s one engine, minus battery.

Here’s the other engine (note the battery and different hose clamp).

This 1979 Honda Civic is an incredible performance machine! It features 8 cylinders of furious power! It has 4 wheel drive making the winter weather driving a breeze! 4 powerful disc brakes bring this rocket to a safe stop. And it has two radios, so if you are a little bit country and your lady is a little bit rock-n-roll, you will both be smiling! It also has 8 forward gears and two reverse gears (not all combinations can be used simultaneously.) Four wheel steering makes parallel parking and u-turns tasks you will look forward to! Or it’s a clown car…

There is no obvious rust problems. The paint is not great. Actual mileage unknown.

Clear Tennessee title.
