How rare is this car? I have been looking EVERYWHERE for info on this car but can't seem to find anything.

It's a 1983 Prelude XR and EVERYTHING on the car is written in Japanese...any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this is probably one of not very many (if any) others in the U.S. I saved it from a guy that was going to run it in the local demo derby...

















Thanks for looking!

 

that is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant wait to see some pix of restoration and cleaning...if you get around to it

 

It's for sale...

 

Wow, glad you saved that!

I don't know anything personally, but you might post that in here if you haven't yet: http://preludepower.com/forums...f=205

How much are you asking for it?

 

That is soo cool! That's definitely a first-gen Prelude, so it's gotta be a 1979-1982 model. I can't buy it, but how much are you asking?

Looks like you can still buy all the oem parts for it:

ive never seen a first gen but thats cool as hell man good luck for sure!

 

thats a nice project to restore

 

that is sweet. very rare, I've seen one before, not as nice as that one. if that tells you anything... you should restore it, keep it, & drop an h22 in it. could be done

 

Teh sex... I want one

 

so good to know that the prelude was born before i was born

 

haha i know right!

 

She's not perfect but definately rare and worth saving, IMHO. I just don't have the time or money to do it myself or I would. Can you believe some redneck ****** wanted to demo derby this car? He even tried out bidding me with the guy I got it from. Some people need put to sleep.

 

i found a guy in the next town over with one.
buying it off him for 400$ !!


dark blue, some rust, runs like a dream!

 

Like this one? RHD and all or just a 1st gen?

 

dude those mirrors are SICK.

 

JDM 1st gen w/ JDM mirrors! If that guy would have ran it in the derby, then we would all sense a disturbance in the force. Good save!

 

nice find!
i know of one here too...but not the xr model like you have

this thing has 110 miles on the odo
im waiting for them to just give it to me...heh i wish

 

man, some people just dont respect hondas. Throw some historic tags on it and restore that bitch!. H2b swap and every mag out there would probly want you lol

 

What a classic! Those side mirrors look kind of bizarre way out on the fenders like that. How about stuffing an h22 in there?

 

Also, it's a 1980, not an 83 like I assumed earlier. It was imported in 83 by an ex Air Force Captain that was stationed in Okinawa. As far as he knows it's the only one ever to come to the states...

 

ya someone pick this up and restore it, true jdm masterpiece, drop in a b series and make wonders, or somehow search for another carburetor engine and drop it in

 

and those side mirrors on the fenders is freakin awesome, it is like the corolla wagon, gangster

 

it runs? send it here. lol i can use that as a project car and my soon-to-come s2k as a beater !

 

Ughghghghgh... Are those JDM tie-straps holding that JDM Bumper on??!! SO ILLL!!!!!
