Buyer from previous auction flaked out - no deposit - never came to even look at the car. PLEASE don't bid if you don't intend to pay for the car. Feel free to come and look at the car - this is a ten day auction. This is a rare find - a 1981 Honda Prelude with no rust that has traveled less than 71000 miles! In 1981 all Hondas in North America were sold on a waiting list. This car was manufactured in June of 1981 and pre-sold to a couple in Alberta Canada. They traveled to the Victoria Honda Car Centre in Victoria, British Columbia August 6 1981 to pick it up. They took it on a trip to Montana to break it in. Fortunately for the car it only spent less than two years in Canada when its owners moved south of Tucson Arizona where the car has been ever since. Photo gallery The dash looks as close to new as possible, no cracks, yes I repeat no cracks since this car spent most of its time in the garage. When it had to be outside there was a reflective sunshield in the windshield. Obviously being outside any of the days in the Arizona sun is not great for a car, but still the paint can be buffed to a shine. It does have some door dings, nicks and scratches on it - it's a 33 year old dark colored car. Some of these could be buffed out. Here's going to be the toughest decision for the new owner: (1) whether to just leave it alone and drive it. (People stop and ask you what it is or some stop and comment about how they remember when the car first came out or how they used to own one.) or (2) restore it into a show car. If you ever were to restore a car, the only sane way to do it is to start with the best example possible. This is the one. The Original Speedometer works just fine but it is in kilometers. It shows 114,134 kilometers, which equals 70,763 miles. Below you'll see documentation showing that these are actual kilometers. I recently found a speedometer cluster with miles. I put it in the car this morning for the pictures, obviously the miles are too high for this car. But both will come with the car, your choice in which you prefer.
