 This auction is for my very rare 5 speed Legend coupe. Iam the third owner ( purchased about 6 years ago). The previous two owners were Acura fanatics who babied this thing and it spend a lot of that time in rust free Florida. Car is lots of fun to drive and has been very reliable. My original plan 6 years ago was to make it a restoration project however that fell through once my wife drove it and made it her daily driver ( which it was till about a month ago). Unfortunately during these 6 years it took a lot of abuse including a couple of minor side swipes the hood popping open at 40 mph , some rust ( no rust on frame only body) and some mechanical neglect.(again this gas been a daily driver for 6 years with nothing major to worry about over that time).
So now my wife gets a new car and it needs way too much work to restore to original condition for me to deal with. It needs a lot of work to keep it as a daily driver but iam hoping there is an Acura guy (or girl) out there who appreciates this for what it is. At this point it needs work and  it can be parted out or repaired or restored. Any of these are viable for the right person. Iam going to list all that is good and bad that comes to mind. I hope I don't forget anything and please ask questions. Iam not looking to rip anybody off just am hoping that this thing will find a good home and be appreciated.

The Good:
The reliability of this car has been amazing. Always starts and has never required anything !! (other than tires and brakes)
The engine runs strong and fast ( there is an initial valve tap when cold but if you know these cars you know its normal)and of course regular oil changes have been done.
Transmission shifts like an Acura however clutch started slipping slightly.
Frame is strong. Never any accidents. Only some minor surface rust on frame
Everything electrical works ( power windows ,seats etc.)... ....except power antenna.
Pretty new tires all around
Original alloy wheels ( center caps are missing)

The  Bad:

Check engine light comes on after about 5 minutes of driving. Has been like that for a few years and i never worried about it
Like I said ..clutch needs replacing soon
Exhaust has two major leaks and will need replacing
Two front springs are cracked (have been fore a while) it is drivable like that but it does effect high speed cornering a bit.
Needs a lot of body work. Hood needs replacing ( popped up at speed) and there is rust around gas filler area, some on wheel well and the worst is in the rear mainly where the acura letters attach to trunk and the trim piece that  runs along bottom of trunk (see pics) and of course the side scrape dent ( see pics).
Sunroof is cracked ( when hood popped up it hit it ). The seal around sunroof is bad ( again from when hood popped open ) and there is tape to keep it from leaking.
The driver seat is torn ( common with theses cars). The rest of interior is ok..i think the back seat is in very good condition.
There is a small leak in power steering system. Been like that for many years. Just top it off once in a while.
It currently has an aftermarket CD player. I think only the radio works ( will check with my wife  but I think she had bitched about that at one time)
AC stopped working last summer.
I think it will need new brakes soon ( not sure when they were last done )



That is all I can think of right now. Please contact me with any questions. I will update this listing if I can think of anything else so check back for changes.
