1994 Acura Legend Coupe Type II 6 Speed
Рет қаралды 120,788
Күн бұрынIn my opinion, the Legend Coupe 6 speed is one of the finest cars Honda ever made. It’s one of the finest cars Japan ever made as far as I’m concerned.
I wasn’t setting out to purchase this car. In fact, a friend of mine sent me the link to the Craigs List ad. I went to check it out, and I ended up buying it that day. I cover the story of that encounter in detail in the video.
This isn’t a perfect car, but it’s pretty darn good. It’s also a very rare find. I’m privileged to have it.
I have shot video of most of the work I’ve done up to this point. In particular the ‘paint restoration’ if you want to call it that. I’m not a body guy, but I feel the paint is way better than when I started. At least it feels presentable.
For now, I’m just going to love and drive the car. It really is a nice ride, especially on long highway trips. You almost want to keep driving.

ETCG1 yup I bought it from my brother for $4000 and he fully rebuilt the engine before he sold it to me! took me 2 years to pay it off but man am I happy with what I have. The only problem with the car is that the synchros are going out in the transmission and they need to be replaced. but that will be done later down the line. anyways you should probably check out the Acura Legend owners and enthusiasts page on Facebook, there is a lot of resources on there and people who can hook you up with hard to find parts

I'm telling you, you should really focus on Honda vids. Produce a 15+ minute video about each model's development. Get your hands on a loaner of each interesting model (si, gsr, nsx, type r) and wring it out over at mid-Ohio. Check out Victory by Design for a great format you could bring back. Interview Honda engineers and racing personalities. Isn't the Honda plant close to you? You and Brian should go film it. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Nothing screams 1990s like a motorized radio antenna. :-) Nice car though - Honda really did a great job in this era. By modern standards, of course, it’s not fast - but like you said, it’s acceptable even today. And back then, it was pretty darn powerful for the price. Acura was still trying to make a name for themselves back then - they definitely pushed the envelope a bit more than they do today. I’m really looking forward to your future videos with this car.

Very nice car, Eric, great find. Amazing to see no rust whatsoever. The attention to detail back then was everything with the Jap cars. I once owned a 1985 Mitsubishi Galant - it was years ahead of most other cars on the UK roads. Inside it was extremely quiet and relaxing to drive - your average Ford, Opel, VW or even BMW felt like a noisy tank compared to it. Sadly standards must have slipped over the years, because many years later i bought a 1999 Galant - i was disappointed with how average it felt.
@YasumotoUS 6 жыл бұрын
Oh, interesting that you bring up the mid-80s Galant. A friend's dad had a late 80s Galant wagon and that was a wonderful vehicle. It even felt better than my other friend's Camry sedan -- which was a very nice car in the late 80s. I'm in full agreement that 10+ years down the line, Mitsubishi had lost their way.

Hey Eric, i have a 95 Legend coupe i purchased from a salvage yard to fix up but its so badly twisted and bent that its beyond repair but is also a 6 speed stick with the shift knob still having the chrome finish on it, interior is like a 7-8 out of 10, can ship it to you if you would like with anything else, tan interior. Gonna be parting out what ever i can on ebay and amazon before sending it back to the crusher. Would love to donate any parts you need for it.

I'd be happy to take that shift knob off your hands. If the front seat is in good shape I'll consider that too. Lastly, the window problem is likely the window master switch. I'd take that if you don't need it. Lastly, does it have the original radio? Perhaps it might be best to send me an email. eric@ericthecarguy.com

ETCG1 ill toss a battery into the car after work today, I'm off around 9pm CST to check if the window switch rolls up and down, make sure the seats work, and will check the radio for function as it is still stock with the CD changer in the trunk Looks older lady driven and was Tboned driver side so hoping that switch will work still. And i believe seats are not torn or really faded much. If i was closer I'd just haul the car down, but sadly I'm in SK Canada, anyways, ill check it all after work and send you an email. Till than, stay dirty.

I've always wanted a car with the right bumps to help with MPG, but way to scary to do it on purpose! Mythbusters did a test on this, but they scaled the bumps up.

Once upon a time, I was a valet car attendant. We would fight over these, and the sc300 with a stick. Both silky smooth.

in my senior year in high school year i had a 4 door pearl white one in mint condition. It came to me from a g from new york. (should of made a copy of the title). When cleaning it i found gunshot shells, 9mm bullets, like $50 dollars worth in change on the floor by the driver seat. 217k miles. The driver seat was a bit worn but not bad. The other seats were like new. Drove it to 270k milles and a friend totaled it. Real sad day. That car was a true Legend. I've had different, much newer, luxury cars since then and they have all had something wrong with them. You sir, got a sub. You know more things about me than this car and i went over the dealer manual for my car lol

I just LOVE this car so much! Eventually it'd be the car I'd like to drive everyday, maintain and keep forever. Hope i'm able to find one soon at a reasonable price and maybe put some work into! Keep the great videos coming!

Wow thanks for the reply! I wish. Unfortunately I live in Canada and I wouldn't be able to or afford to bring this one in at the moment since I'm just finishing up college.But I hope to be lucky enough to one day to find one with lower mileage and a straightish body that I'd be able to fix up maintain watching your videos.

Acura has always been ahead of it's time. I have always loved this car and I'm currently looking for one myself, you're very lucky to have found this one. A friend of mines used to have one and he asked me did I want to buy it when he was ready to sell but I declined because he had an automatic and it wasn't a type II but deep down inside I regret not buying it. One thing I can say about it, he babied the car the whole time he had it and the service was tight on it so it would have been a great buy.

Dang i can't believe you found this car. These Acura Legends with the manual transmission are Awesome vehicles and are super Rare! The Legends and the CB7 Accords 90 to 93 are some of my Favorite Honda cars of all time. I have a 93 accord coupe with the manual transmission but I'd Looove to own that one.

My grandmother had one of these. I always thought that the electric seat motor to move it forward to climb in the back was ridiculous, though. Took so much longer than just popping the bar and moving it up. Still, amazing car, Eric, and what a find. As an aside, next to cup holders, lit floor wells and vanity mirrors are ESSENTIAL functions for me, and I swear I'll never buy another car without them.

You have a gem there. I remember drooling over the legend coupe growing up. Finish restoring it and enjoy it man! The rear compartment is most likely where the first aid kit was located I think.
