For Sale: 1985 Honda Prelude in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

Razor-sharp and distinctive, this 1985 Honda Prelude displays its Graphite Gray Metallic paint across taut, geometric body panels that defined a new direction in Japanese automotive design. A standout competitor when Honda was making its mark on American roads, featuring those unmistakable flip-up headlights that disappear into the low front clip. The factory pinstriping runs along the profile with subtle precision, enhancing the car's clean lines without overdoing it. Rolling on original 13-inch wheels wrapped in 185/70R13 tires, this Prelude maintains its correct stance and authentic mid-80s proportions.

The gray cloth bucket seats provide lateral support during quick lane changes and tight corners. Honda's engineering excellence shows in the dashboard layout with its straightforward analog instrumentation and no-nonsense control arrangement. The AM/FM cassette player sits ready for your favorite mixtapes, a genuine artifact from the pre-digital era. The floor shifter positions perfectly for quick gear selection during daily driving. Power steering makes navigating parking lots and canyon roads equally effortless. The matching gray door panels and carpeting create a consistent color palette throughout.

A 1.8 Liter inline-4 cylinder manages an excellent balance of fuel economy and acceleration with its dual 3-barrel carburetors. The 4-speed automatic transmission handles gear changes with a direct mechanical feel typical of 80s Honda engineering. Four-wheel power disc brakes give a solid pedal feel and direct stopping ability. Independent rear suspension with coil springs and shocks allows this Prelude to maintain composure over rough road surfaces. The factory single exhaust with catalytic converter offers a subtle tone while maintaining emissions compliance.
