What is different about the '74 interior? why did you choose it for your car? I'm asking because i am in the process of working on my interior in my '79 so far i have 85 accord buckets, deluxe gauge package, aftermarket shift knob... and so on I'm just curious why the '74 interior?

By Anomalouss (24.70.95.203) on Saturday, December 08, 2001 - 09:03 am:

I went with the 74 interior mainly because of its near mint condition.Also because it's black.The original was blue.I don't think the factory produced a blue on black,only blue on blue.A couple small differences include the seat belts(slightly different design) and the window crank arms(chrome instead of the black plastic)also the dash(pullout headlight and wiper switches) and the steering colum(smaller cover and only the turn signal switch on the snorkel)My 74 parts car also supplied me with an emergency starting switch that mounts under the hood off the passenger strut tower.Ever seen one a these?Also,the 74 engine block has no casting numbers?(I know it's an EB2 though)The original owner told me the engine was replaced under warranty.

By Jon (24.64.223.204) on Saturday, December 08, 2001 - 02:31 pm:

Ya I just picked up a 78 Hondamatic just for the black interior because my 79 had an ugly beige interior. I once had a 73 with that emergency starter switch, it was busted tho so i didnt keep it. I think i am going to want some of those chrome window handle crankers they were in up to 77 werent they?

By Anomalous (24.70.95.203) on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 04:30 pm:

Yes,the chrome handles are found in 73-77's.Also, they have the cool all red tail lights(with the chrome bands).Sweet score on the 78.I think the first gens only had 5 interior colors(blue,black,beige,tan and red)?Black is the best.
