Here is a gorgeous 1985 Honda Prelude that has no rust on it and is in beautiful shape throughout.
This car has the dual carburetor 1829cc engine and we have recently had a new timing belt with water pump and seals done.
Interior of this car is an 8.5 out of 10. There is some discoloration from sunlight on the rear seat. Just a few years ago I would have rated it as a 9 out of 10 but our little rodent friends have left a few tiny stains so we'll call it an 8.5 now.
This car came from dry Kansas and it has never been rusted. I don't think it has ever been in an accident and I don't think it has ever been painted. However, after the last professional detailing I had done for a show, I noticed rougher areas of the paint. I suspect the clear-coast was rubbed off by the detailers abrasive polishes.
The car has no mechanical issues except occasionally it will "spit" or "buck" as if it is not getting fuel momentarily. I have replaced the fuel filter but this doesn't help. Doesn't happen often. I recently drove the car 3 hours to an event and 3 hours back and did not have this problem.
This Prelude will need tires before long. The current tires have plenty of tread, but they are getting old. I would rather let the new owner decide what tires they want......often a seller will buy tires the buyer doesn't like and then you have to live with them! (The need for tires been factored into the reserve price).
This car is a joy to drive. It is light, quick, and handles like a dream - that's why one of the major car magazines of the day rated the Prelude the second best handling car on the market (behind the Porsche 944 but ahead of the Porsche 911, Corvette and Ferrari 308, etc.). No wonder they sold like hotcakes from 1984-1996.
Also gets about 32 mpg.
This is a car you can collect and drive!
We have the original window sticker (list price was $10524.)

Fred Savage wants to narrate your home videos to practice for Honda gig
Mon, 27 Oct 2014Honda is getting ready to launch a new advertising campaign with Fred Savage of The Wonder Years (and The Princess Bride) fame, and in order to get his voice in game shape, Savage is taking to social media to get prepared. More specifically, he's apparently interested in adding some voiceover to fun videos provided by fans of the Honda brand, and all you have to do to be considered is to get his attention on Twitter using the hashtag #HondaPromo.
We have no idea how Savage or the Honda PR team plans to choose which videos will be turned into narrated works of art, but we do think it's a pretty fun idea. So, if you happen to have a video that could use some narration, and you think Savage would provide the perfect pitch, hit him up. Oh, be sure to read the terms and conditions first.
2014 Honda Accord Hybrid [w/video]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Delivering On Promises
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid should surprise no one. Its look is something we've seen since the non-hybrid versions went on sale last year. Its powertrain, mostly, we are familiar with from the already-on-sale Accord Plug-In model. And the overall vibe of the car? Well, it's an Accord, which has been a strong seller in the US for three decades, so much so that there's a very good chance you've been in one at some point, whether you noticed or not.
Honda's first attempt at an Accord Hybrid, released in 2005, put dynamic performance first, but it didn't match the public's maturing perception of what a hybrid is all about: fuel economy. The 2005 version was capable of a measly 28 miles per gallon combined, 25 in the city and 33 on the highway. Remember those numbers, and that the first-generation Accord Hybrid lasted all of three model years before being axed.
Honda speeds towards its dreams with new Civic Type R Concept [w/videos]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014A war is coming. It's been brewing for some time between the top-performing hot hatches, and will be determined by the ultimate bragging rights: the lap record at the Nürburgring for front-drive cars. Renault claimed it and reclaimed it again with successive versions of the Megane RS, then Seat took it by some margin with the new Leon Cupra. But this could take it from both.
It's the new Honda Civic Type R - or at least a conceptual preview of the one to follow. We drove an early prototype of the forthcoming Japanese hot hatch while in town for the Tokyo Motor Show a few months ago, where Honda made no secret of its Eiffel-bound aspirations. Now it has taken a big step closer with the concept you see here.
Previewing the extreme styling that will set the next Type R apart from ordinary Civics (or the European-spec hatchback on which it's based), the concept has a giant rear spoiler, enlarged grilles, hood vents and widened fenders packing both 20-inch alloys and additional air vents.
