Can't even tell if it's a stick shift.
It's an automatic according to the 'description'.

It's truly amazing how bad some people are at posting car ads. Of all the things a potential buyer might want to see, this seller thought the rear seat shelf was valuable. :confused: :lol:

For Reals!   For an expensive purchase you would think people would vacuum the car out, maybe spend $4 on a cheap spray wash, take pictures without trash in the background. And post the relevant details.

Well, I can't read, so ... take better pictures. And a large portion of descriptions get the tranny wrong.

I'd offer $500 for the powertrain and suspension bits.

Yeah I was gonna say - he'd probably be better off parting it out.

see how long this lasts. If I could get it on a trailer, it'd be in my driveway already, getting a pressure wash and flip on Rennlist for $5k.

Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

He wrote "nice dash" but didn't even take a single shot of the inside of the car probably because there's no way to open the door. I wouldn't be surprised if the bottom of the car is rusted out and riddled with holes.  That's hilarious!

Quote#GRUMPYHONDA Gently used and One of a Kind - Custom 1992 Honda Civic. Slight "crinkle" in the front from a "ramming incident" during a "High Speed Chase" causing the custom "#GRUMPYHONDA" Look! You can't order that from the Factory or aftermarket - completely Custom! Two-tone custom paint scheme - "White on fading Burgundy with a touch of Rust". Custom passenger mirror created by constant tapping of mailboxes to form the "Spider" object that is larger than it appears. Also great for early Halloween decorations. Cons: dents, dings, normal usage for a car with this mileage, a/c needs recharge...who are we kidding there are no cons - this #GRUMPYHONDA is AWESOME! More pros: starts and drives fine, sunroof, new tires, alloy wheels, decent interior, stereo works and has cassette deck, low 221k ish miles - Honda's run forever, FULL TANK OF GAS, and this car was "rumored" to be driven by Bill Shatner's "Love Child"! $750 CASH or Trade for 1971 Barracuda painted Plum Crazy Purple completely restored and retromodded. #GRUMPYHONDA

My bet is that with these sort of "barn finds" there is something significantly wrong - stolen, hiding from repo man, hiding from cops (i.e., involved in hit-n-run).

Salvage title?

Seems odd.  Mistake?  Not getting the full story in the ad...?
