In the 1980s, the Honda CRX was seen as one of its class’s best, most fun small sports cars. Because of this win, a scarce convertible model was made. A similar one is on the market for buying in Colorado and needs a good home immediately. The seller says that the Honda CRX Straman is a 1987 type. Obscure Cars for Sale says it is for sale on Facebook Marketplace for a meager price of $5,800. In the 1980s, Straman Coachworks was known for making unique Camaro drop-tops. They were also the first company to offer an aftermarket soft-top conversion. The result is a sharp-looking roadster unlike anything else on the road right now. Three hundred ten cases were made during that time, but only a small portion have been found to this day. The seller says that the Straman CRXs have a terrible flaw. The supports put in to make up for the roof being taken off are of good quality but likely to rust. This shot shows severe damage to the ground below that needs to be fixed quickly. That doesn’t mean there’s no way to save the car. From the start, it’s an extraordinary car that looks very businesslike. This car stands out with its two-tone blue-over-gray paint job and beautiful Honda metal wheels. This soft top’s back window is clear, and the color goes well with the body. It rides high and looks good at the same time. Cutting it down is a simple process. The seller says that the car has a carburetor. Based on this and the pictures in the description, the car has a 1.5-liter EW1 Honda engine. Straman likely sold the CRX after a lengthy conversion based on an older model, even though the engine might not have worked with what Honda made for the 1987 model year. At the time, the 12-valve, single-overhead-cam engine wasn’t cutting edge; it only made 76 horsepower. Only the CRX’s curb weight of less than 1,900 pounds saved it. The convertible shape adds some weight, but compared to current cars, it still seems light. For your convenience, the primary engine comes with a five-speed manual gearbox. The inside of the car is in perfect shape. The inside is covered with shades of blue and gray as the outside. The only dirty thing inside is the floor mat on the driver’s side. Other than that, the inside mostly looks good. The gauge set is a beautiful orange style from the 1980s, with 113,000 miles on it. It’s even more impressive for a convertible because the dashboard has no significant cracks, and the radio goes well with the rest of the interior. Getting this car back on the road won’t be easy, but you’ll have a Radwood favorite if you can. The pictures from the seller make it look like the sun is going down on this rare Honda Classic, but it doesn’t have to be that way. This cabriolet needs a trailer to return to the road for summer. Please bring it to Colorado Springs. We’ll all be there for you.
