Just curious how the car came to be kept "under wraps"/ undriven for so long, I mean I don't think anyone ever thought an Accord would become a "collectible" car one day... did they?!? At any rate, car looks beautiful, didn't think there were any old Hondas left in this condition, thanks for keeping the heritage alive!

HOLY CRAP! I just saw this on thisoldhonda.org and one thing lead to another which lead me to here. lol. Wow my friend, this thing is MINT! I'm a huge collector of anything 1st gen accord and prelude and this is by far the coolest thing I've seen locally. I'm up here in Harrisonburg, VA and would love to see it but I unfortunately don't have the funds to make it work out. I'm currently restoring my 1980 Prelude and it's taking everything away from me. lol. Would you trade for a guitar and other odds and ends. lol
