Weighs about the same as the original 1976 Honda Accord. Rebuilt one for Pop when it was less than a year old (1977). He averaged 39.5 MPG driving up and down US1 in the Florida Keys (he's been retired for 37 years). One time Mom was driving when a drunk in a Cadillac came over into her lane at 50 MPH. Pop said she whipped around the drunk like a NASCAR pro, she got away with it in the Accord, but he always thought it would not have worked in the 1974 Montego land yacht.
