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.)

2014 Honda Odyssey first minivan to earn Top Safety Pick+ award [w/video]
Thu, 29 Aug 2013You know an automaker is confident about the safety of its vehicles when it asks one of the top crash test agencies to destroy one of its newest models. That's exactly what happened with the 2014 Honda Odyssey. According the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Honda requested that the agency run the updated Odyssey through its full barrage of tests, and for good reason.
Aside from slight styling upgrades and a new optional HondaVac built-in vacuum cleaner, the 2014 Odyssey was also given a more rigid passenger compartment using high-strength steel to help better protect occupants. It obviously worked. Following the crash tests, the 2014 Odyssey became the first minivan to earn a Top Safety Pick+ rating, but, more importantly, it did so with "Good" ratings in all five crash categories (four "Goods" and one "Acceptable" are enough for the TSP+). Impressive.
Scroll down for the crash-test video from the IIHS along with a press release.
Honda surprises with Gear concept in Montreal
Thu, 17 Jan 2013It's not often that a major automobile manufacturer debuts a brand-new concept at the Montreal International Auto Show - mostly because it takes place concurrently with the massive show in Detroit - but here we are with the so-called Honda Gear Concept Study Model, which was just uncovered by our friendly neighbors to the north.
According to the automaker, the Gear "demonstrates Honda's innovative approach to providing the automotive answer for young, urban, Gen-Y lifestyles. Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles... Gear is simple and utilitarian, but also customizable, connected and full of personality." It is apparently "practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car," according to Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas.
We don't know anything else - what might lie underhood, how it is "connected" or at what price point it might potentially be sold at. Check out our high-res image gallery above and the press release below and you'll know just about as much as we do.
2013 Honda Civic WTCC is ready for racing
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Drumming up a little excitement for the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship, Honda brought its new Civic WTCC car to the bright lights of Geneva for all to see. Honda joined WTCC late last year entering the final three races. The racing outfit will run this year's entire 12-round season, which kicks off later this month in Italy.
In the off-season, Honda made a few updates to its WTCC entry including better aerodynamics, improved suspension and braking and numerous engine and turbo enhancements. Two teams will field the new Civic racecar in this year's season: Honda Racing Team JAS and a private team from Hungary, Zeng"o Motorsport.
Fans of the WTCC in the US will be pleased to know that series makes a return visit to Sonoma Raceway on September 8 for the Race of the United States.
