457 Mile 1977 Honda CB550K3

I’m not purposely staying away from Hondas, I like them, a lot. I just have never had the opportunity to own a Honda car or a Honda motorcycle over 49 CCs. This 1977 Honda CB550K3 is quite a bit… more»

First-Generation Gem: 1980 Honda Prelude

Coming fairly late to the game, at least in order to compete with the Toyota Celica, this 1980 Honda Prelude nonetheless came locked and loaded and ready for the fight. Maybe that’s too strong of a description for such… more»

Rad Project: 1986 Isuzu Impulse Turbo

Worth $249,000? 1970 Nissan Laurel 2000GX

It’s hard to argue with having “2000” in the name of your car, your movie, your tv show, or anything else, really. Scotty G2000… hmm… I like that. It was futuristic in those days, back when everyone thought that… more»

Only 38K Miles! 1991 Geo Metro Convertible

Nicest One Left? 1983 Honda Civic Wagon

I don’t know if a lot of people thought to preserve economy cars several decades ago. Not that they do that now, come to think of it. They’re cars to use as a tool or an appliance. They get… more»

Hard Tail Suvivor: 1968 Honda K50A-K0 MiniTrail
