Honda Acty Submodels
The Honda Acty is a series of kei-class trucks and microvans that began production in 1977. Built to comply with Japan's strict vehicle size and engine displacement regulations, the Acty features a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout for balanced weight distribution. Early models used a 545cc 2-cylinder engine, but a 1990 update introduced the more modern 656cc 3-cylinder E07A engine and optional Real Time 4WD.
Collectors appreciate the Acty for its immense practicality, charming looks, and affordable entry price into the JDM market. Its compact dimensions make it a useful tool for farms, businesses, or as a quirky city vehicle. The 25-year import rule has opened the floodgates for second and third-generation models (1988-1999) into North America, with buyers seeking out specific trims like the 4WD "Attack" model with its ultra-low forward and reverse gears.
The market for Actys is very active, with an average price just under $10,000. Condition, mileage, and features like 4WD and air conditioning heavily influence value. While driver-quality trucks are plentiful, pristine, low-mileage examples can command prices well over $20,000, showing a strong demand for the best examples.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust, especially in the truck bed, along the bottom of the doors, and on the frame rails. These were work vehicles and often weren't coddled.
- The mid-mounted engine can make service difficult. Look for signs of oil or coolant leaks around the engine cover in the bed.
- Test the 4WD system if equipped. It's a simple viscous coupling system, but you should ensure it engages correctly.
- Verify the truck's import documentation and title are in order. Registering a kei truck can be difficult in certain states.
- Interior and body-specific parts can be hard to find outside of Japan, so check that all trim, glass, and lights are intact.
Prices range from $3,700 for project vehicles to $35,000 for pristine, low-mileage examples.
