Copart Walk Around 4-21-22 + The Most Vandalized Car EVER!! PARENTAL WARNING!

[@xSGTBONGRiiPPxxADVENTURESx]

my first car was a short lived prelude si aws, wish i could have had it longer but it had over 500k miles and still ran great. i couldnt say no to a deal selling it for 5x what i had paid after swapping a junkyard trans into it, but ill forever stick with hondas thanks to the great experience i have had working on them, starting with that prelude.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You had a rare gem on your hands. That AWS is super rare!!! I've always wanted one!

[@Ayeobe]

That generation of Honda is the pinnacle. I have a few 88-89 Accords and a 1990 Legend, and they are amazing to drive, reliable as hell, and when something does go wrong its usually nothing serious, and can be fixed easily. Even 34 years later, the Accords are more reliable than brand new cars (on average, my co-workers with brand new cars were going to the dealer for warrantee work once a year, while my Accord has gone strong for 12 years with nothing but balljoints, brakes and oil changes - i live in Montreal, balljoints come here to die. Cali cars have OEM balljoints, still.)

[@xSGTBONGRiiPPxxADVENTURESx]

@@Ayeobe oh i 100% agree those early hondas are seriously meant to last. i feel your pain with the rot tho im in ohio where you get 4 seasons a day.lol ive owned a handful of much older hondas like a 74 accord and some of the little old 70s civics and they are just unkillable. up until the early 2000s honda made some of the most reliable cars then they went to crap fast. ive owned alot of newer ones that have been money pits, so i have stuck with my 04 tsx for the comfort and more or less reliability and power. after undoing alot of the rigging by previous owners its still been super solid up to 300k! of course it takes a good owner and maintenance to get that far with anything though. but the old 70s and 80s cars were the best of the bunch for sure!

[@averagenorwegiandude5635]

Hmmm. Mazdaspeed 3 is actually a very fun car. 260hp and a good manual gearbox. 1200$ is a good price for the engine over here I europe. but as you said. It’s a gamble and it’s probably been driven hard and put away wet.

[@Carspotterny]

That Honda is full of 80s charm! Should definitely get it randy!

[@CR7659]

I thought Sumpter Settlers might be a high school mascot but nothing. There is a Sumpter OK but it's little more than a wide spot in the road a ways north of OKC. Other larger Sumpters are in Michigan and Oregon. I considered a vandalized car a couple years ago. There was a van down in NC near where TK was, needed windows, tires and had some spray paint. But it was low miles and ran and drove. Just was too far away, I'd have to drive down and go back and forth getting new tires and bring glass with me. I would have had a glass company do the windshield, the rest I could do myself. With what vans and trucks sell for now, I probably should have done it, I would have easily doubled my money

[@youtbe999]

The green Mazda is a work of art. Probably a $1MM+ easy profit for a connoisseur.

[@electrorestorations696]

I would think that old honda prelude would be a cool vehicle just to hear running and since it's near and dear to ur heart it would be cool to hear it.

[@alexanderfranklin2476]

The Mazda reminds me of my middle school carnival. They bought a rear ended like 90’s Avalon from a junk yard for $500 and let kids swing a sledge hammer at it twice for $5 and you could bring your own spray paint and for $3 let you spray paint it for a whole minute. They used the money and put it towards a fund raiser for the school! It was so much fun. I remember I spent $20 on it and made it where the trunk wouldn’t open. Good times. I really need that stress reliever again!

[@nimakhosravi6476]

Definetly buy the the prelude they are RARE

[@johnp1040]

I had a 1981 Honda Civic CVCC 1.3 liter, 5 speed manual, 55 hp. Always started and drove through everything including heavy snow while other vehicles were stuck.

[@Duckswag87]

That vandalism car is a speed3! Way worth it to strip the outside and repaint it, I LOVE those cars I could tell instantly by the raised wing on the hatch and the wheels, only on the speed series

[@Duckswag87]

I watched the rest about the fire, the 2.3 turbo drivetrain is probably why they want some money out of it if it’s in good condition you can sell the engine alone for 2500 but it would be quite the project that’s for sure

[@IFIXATVS]

I bought a speed 3 brand new in 08 and it was an awesome car indeed

[@Duckswag87]

@@IFIXATVS I bought the 07’ brand new. LOVED that car, by far my favorite body style of the 2. Did yours have the turbo housing recall? I was at 60k when I got that letter and I went a little hard on it for the next 9k miles. The recall was before 70k miles so I drove it up to 69,500 and they ended up replacing the whole turbo, I sold it with about 100k miles and had no reliability issues besides that. I took exceptional care and had all of the services though…

I just want to say I appreciate the advice and for replying back randy I got a trans for my 05 Honda Civic today only has 70k miles and I paid less than $300 for it I wish the Lucas woulda fixed it but hell 275 for a transmission you can’t beat it and it’ll take less than a full day to change and the prelude probably says it doesn’t run but it probably does😅 ain’t nothing like a ole Honda I’m sure it’ll go if you put starting fluid to it

[@suckerio]

I had an 86 prelude with a manual trans and it was my first car at 15, the previous owner pulled the vacuum lines off to get the carbs off to clean them, took my dad forever to figure it all out but it was such an amazing little car. I’m 24 and selling it is still a big regret. Glad to see you have a fondness for them too

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

Buy the Honda, long term project for you and Nick to work on. Might even be his first car, what it is now to a very usable vehicle. A little bit of time each month, no rush finish. He would gain a TON of knowledge as to what makes car work....AND, he can say "It is my car, and I got it to where it is now!" (With a little help from Randy, of course!)

[@mexicanspec]

Good plan. I said something similar without the Nick angle. Those cars are almost extinct and it is worth getting back on the road.

[@nickq204]

You’re much better off paying 80 bucks for that ‘85 Prelude than spending a dime on the ol’ C-wagon. I worked in a Sears auto center when I was in college in the 90’s, and I have seen at least two old pickups painted with house paint and a brush. The only difference is those paint jobs were completely intentional.

[@jargo7251]

Randy, get the Prelude! That would be a sweet project!

[@TheJeffShadowShow]

We had several Preludes purchased by Southwest Leasing in 1979 and they were affectionally called Honda Quaaludes!

After my 1998 Oldsmobile 88 gave up the ghost in 2018 after owning it for almost 13 years , I got a 1997 Honda Accord for short money and after my mechanic chased the mechanical gremlins out of it, it filled the shoes left by the 88 quite nicely. It's my first Japanese made car and it has never let me down. I'm happy.

[@richardsmith2721]

The Prelude brings back so many memories. My friend's family next door bought a brand new red one in 1985. Ot was such a great car! It was night and day compared to what yiu could get from Detroit back then and this was in a Detroit suburb. I am so nostalgic for 80's Hondas right now. Preludes, Accords, Civics and especially the CRX!

[@TheFloofBoi]

That Honda would be a fun project to do some heavy modifications to. I know I’m going to sound crazy but I would do some cutting and fabricating to convert it to RWD and swap in a healthy American V8 with a 5 or 6 spd manual transmission, while keeping the exterior looking totally stock with the only telltale signs that something is amiss being wider stock looking rear wheels and tires and a nice quiet dual exhaust.

The Prelude looks good. Like you said , it could make a nice project. It was probably sitting on someone's property for quite a while. The fact that it cranks means it still has some life in it. I understand not bidding just because of $80 bid. There is a lot of cost associated with trying to get it running right. Is that a step side Silverado behind it. I remember the green Chevy truck because of the Ford hub caps.Great video as always.

I had a prelude and I did indeed love that car (it was a silver version of the one a couple years earlier than this). I think like you said it would be good content - that would be the main impetus behind purchasing the vehicle - more than to sell it, just to showcase it. Not quite as dramatic of course as the Swamp Vette but another kind of interesting, potentially fun project to at least maybe get running and then cut the roof off of it and drive it like a go cart or something before scrapping :-)
