24 cars blue sky: Junkyard Find: 1984 Honda Civic Wagovan

The four-wheel-drive Honda Civic "Wagovan" was very popular in Colorado, and you still see them on the street around here. The front-wheel-drive version, however, is quite rare throughout North America. It was a very sensible family hauler, with its high-30s highway fuel economy and big-for-its-size cargo space, but it couldn't compete with Chrysler's minivans. Here's a rare example that I spotted last week in a Denver self-service yard.
In fact, Honda didn't come up with any sort of Suburbia Main Battle Tank until the Passport, a decade later, and that was really an Isuzu (the first-gen Odyssey was a genuine Honda and ideally suited for the growing family with a lot of accessories… in Japan).
So, what we have here is a tall Civic with a squared-off cargo area. You could fit four adults and the results of a serious big-box-retail shopping spree inside, and then you could drive it for 250,000 miles (provided you never overheated it and blew the head gasket).
Here's why I will never own one of these cars. You couldn't get the Wagovan with the Si fuel-injected engine, and there's no way to make a 25-year-old nightmare tangle of vacuum lines, solenoids, sensors, and black boxes work correctly. Look, this one has multiple layers on the vacuum-hose diagram. It's had versioning!
