1st gen Prelude.







i took these pictures over the summer and found them again while i was cleaning out my imagestation account.

the car was for sale, but i don't know how much they were asking for it. i thought it was kinda cool to run across an 'lude like this.

i had the specs written down somewhere. i think they were a 2.0 liter with something like 120hp.

 

NICE!! Were those Preludes RWD??

not that i know of... i'm gonna have to look up the specs on it again.

 

if its older than 86 yes it was.....

 

my dad bought a '79 prelude when they first came out... he said they were a hot little sports car. i've never seen one though until now.

 

what i found so far is that they're actually a SOHC 1.8 liter (1751cc) that made 90ps and were from 1979 - 1982. *i was wrong, sorry*

they had 4 wheel independent struts, optional leather and electric sunroof. this one was an automatic with a 3 speed, but i guess some auto's only had a 2 speed tranny.

 

i want one.

 

could a h22 fit into that? sleeeeeeeeper!

 

lol, prolly.

yeah, that would be freakin' sick.

they wouldn't know what hit 'em... or smoked 'em.

it's hard to find info on this generation prelude, but i'm almost positive it's fwd.

 

haha thats cool always glad to see a honda that old look so nice

 

I have a white 79 model still.

 

my friend bought a 1st gen lude......he is gunna strip it out...and either put a B16 B18 or a h23...its undecided but it should be very very interesting

 

damn that's ol' school!

 

if i had the money, i would have bought it and stored it away until i had the cash to restore anything that was damaged.

i actually stopped there to look at the 4wd civic wagon and had no idea what that car was sitting next to it.
