1990 Honda Prelude Si 4WS Description

Note: Ebay listed it as having the 2.1 liter motor. While this car was originally equipped with that motor, they were common for ring failures due to a new cylinder wall material. This car had that failure. The popular "upgrade" is to install a B20A long block from the base S car which is the poster child for Honda reliability. That swap has been done to this car. It was done professionally and has about 50k less miles on it than the chassis.
This Prelude is in excellent condition and other than the 16" wheels, it has no street racer modifications. It is a very clean original example free from extensive modifications. I have never owned a car that has got as many compliments on the road as this one. A week does not go buy that someone pulls up along me at a light to give me the thumbs up or to comment on how beautiful she is.
This Prelude has been maintained to the highest order. All service items are up to date. Not only regular service items, but those items that everyone ignores and puts off have been done within the last 6,000 miles. I have all the receipts.
-Timing belt, rollers and water pump
-Cam seals, valve cover gasket, valve adjust
-Full tune; plugs (NGK), cap -- rotor -- wires (Bosch)
-Radiator and heater hoses with fresh coolant flush
-Accessory belts (alternator and AC)
-Front brakes rotors and pads (rears in good shape)
-New brake master cylinder and full brake fluid flush
-Alternator
- Drivers axle shaft and CV replaced with new, not rebuilt
-New SACHS shocks front and rear
-Full AC conversion to R134a and it blows very cold
-New muffler (will be done this week prior to sale)
The body was fully stripped and repainted in September of 2015. I think there are only one or two rock chips on the entire car. It is stunning to look at. The interior is very clean and looks new. There are no cracks in the dash. The interior is in fantastic shape. It is garage kept and not driven in snow. There is no rust anywhere on the car.
The only "mods" that have been done to the car are the wheels/tires and the trunk is wired for a sub and amp. The stereo that is installed is a Kenwood with Bluetooth and has the hands free kit installed. The car was in one accident many years ago and had the right rear quarter panel replaced. Last year I fully stripped the car and had it professionally painted. There are a couple of small blemishes in the paint, but I would have to point them out to you for them to be noticeable.

The Generation III Prelude is going up in value the last few years and is entering into the collectible market. While Preludes are not impossible to find, finding them in this condition that have been cared for by middle aged enthusiasts and not molested by teenagers is incredibly rare. Here is your chance to own a fantastic example of one of Honda's finest cars of the 90's.
