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.)

Affordable, lightweight Honda roadster revival in the works?

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

There's a joke phrase from a popular movie that gets tossed around the Autoblog offices when ever a big change or announcement is coming: "Hold on to your butts." It's usually accompanied by a video of Samuel L. Jackson. That's the advice we'd recommend for reading this article. GTChannel is reporting that a new, small, lightweight, quick successor to the Honda S2000 is being "seriously considered."
Citing an unnamed source within the Japanese automaker, GTChannel goes on to list a few interesting tidbits about the new vehicle. From the sounds of it, though, if Honda is planning a new roadster, it's in the absolute earliest stages of development.
What's apparently being discussed is a car that's smaller than a Mazda MX-5, in terms of its dimensions. Under hood would be a VTEC engine, displacing anywhere from 1.3 to 1.5 liters, with GT Channel making the apt suggestion that the 1.5-liter, 132-horsepower mill from the Honda Fit could make its way into the new roadster. Curb weight would be in the realm of 2,000 pounds, which would make a 130-odd-hp engine seem absolutely heroic. Rear-wheel drive would be a given, although we aren't sure about the site's suggestion that a five-speed manual will be on offer. Styling could draw from the N-One, a popular, Honda-badged kei car.

Petrolicious profiles an 'original fanboy' and his 1987 Honda CRX Si

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Christopher Hoffman is a guy I'd like to meet. He's profiled in the latest installment of Petrolicious, titled Original Fanboy, because of his love and dedication to his 1987 Honda CRX Si. And that's something I can relate to.
My personal car is a black 1988 Honda CRX Si. Road & Track executive editor Sam Smith sold it to me in December 2010 with some 93,000 miles on the odometer (and one bum tire!), and though I don't drive it nearly as much as I should, I'm madly in love with my little Honda. I take immense pride in owning this car, despite my recent neglect. As soon as we're done with this Polar Vortex crap here in the midwestern United States, I'm going to pull the CRX out of its wintertime storage and show it the love it deserves.
Like me, Hoffman fully understands the beauty of the CRX. It's not super powerful, or even quick (when it was new, its 0-60 time was just over 9 seconds), but it's extremely light, and comes from an era when Honda was churning out brilliantly simple cars. The steering is incredibly precise, the transmission perfect, and the chassis superb. Nearly 26 years after its birth, I adore every moment behind the wheel of my CRX. And thanks to this Petrolicious special, I know I'm not alone. Scroll down to watch the full episode.

2014 Honda Ridgeline keeps on truckin' with new special edition model

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Like many smaller trucks, the Honda Ridgeline has been left to stagnate on the market for far too many years. With production of the current model reportedly winding down later next year before production of the next-gen model picks up in 2016, Honda is sending the 2014 Ridgeline out with some style courtesy of a new Special Edition trim level.
The new Ridgeline SE essentially adds cues from the Ridgeline Sport to the luxurious RTL trim level. The means features like black-trimmed 18-inch alloys and matching interior trim arrives as a no-cost option. This new model carries the same starting price as the RTL at $37,505 (*not including $830 for destination), and all other trim level pricing is carried over unchanged from the 2013 model year. The new SE model won't be available until November, and it is not pictured in the image galleries (all of which seem to be identical to previous model years).
Speaking of carryover products, Honda has also released pricing for the unchanged 2014 Pilot and 2014 Acura TL, which will continue to be priced from $29,670 and $36,030, respectively (Acura's destination charge is $890). Scroll down for press releases on the 2014 Ridgeline, Pilot and TL.
