Godzilla

I know. I know… Who would name a Honda such a bold name usually reserved for a GTR? Ask the previous owner. Honestly, if you ask me I think it’s fitting.

Few classic cars will come into your life, and give you little to no problems plus more. Godzilla was and still is that car for me. From the first drive on a Weber 38/38 carburetor that gave it more get up and go than the previous Honda. Despite the lack of a 5th gear, its shorter geared manual transmission made for a torquier response. A complete interior gut out for time attack racing (aka your typical Honda build) and a thorough upgrade on the things that mattered most made for a driver’s car with great MPG.

Other than the one time I swapped “Problem Child’s” transmission in exchange for the “4-speed” it came with, I’ve got zero complaints regarding reliability. Upgrading to a rebuilt 5-speed transmission and replacing the CV-axles while having the tranny out have been the only necessary repairs.

Shortly after installing the new transmission in early 2023, I sold the MKIII Supra, 2000 Silverado, and my other 89 Honda Accord. Each sale was done as a payment plan as I was eager to get out of the state and hit the road. Yes, even the $600 sale of the Supra was a 2 part payment. Talk about trust and taking on risks.

For me, experiencing the world and seeing new places was more important than anything else. I had a vision in mind to travel in that small little car and meet new people. Maybe make The Supra Page part of that and honestly, it is still a part of my life plan.

While Godzilla isn’t a Supra (Far from actually). If I had to choose a car to travel and not worry about breaking down, make it across the country and back Godzilla is the car for the job. Might as well do it in style, right?
