Fantastic intro. The lack of a significant volume change from music to revs to your narration was wonderful.

Oh ya, this makes me homesick. I had the same car in color and everything, except my interior was much better. It was a babe magnet back in the day. Lots of room! I had two 10" subwoofers in the trunk. Love it! I spent a lot of time on those honey comb wheels.

My first Acura was an ‘88 Legend L in Bahama Gold Metallic. I drove it up to 240k miles before I was rear ended and it was totaled. It was so reliable and had zero electrical issues. Love and miss that car!

What a beauty. I love the design of 90 black Nissan Maxima SE... now you just showed its inspiration: Acura Legend. It is beautiful.

Congrats on the new addition to your garage! That 1st generation Legend is in great shape overall. A neighbor had one in this exact color growing up. So cool to see this survivor still on the road. Looking forward to the next chapter of this car’s life!

Whaaaaaat? That's super cool. The original Acura and looking great!

Super nice! I probably have the only 1988 Honda Legend with leather and heated seats in western Europe. Imported it from Switzerland to Germany. I know four other cars but the edm sedans never had leather before 1989 the KA4. Switzerland had the same version as Mexico but with the edm headlights of course. The color is the same as yours but full painted and the seats are dark brown like coffee. It has now 99600 Kilometers on the clock. Best is to drive at night with that green gauges. Love it.

I remember when that car first came out and I always thought it was the best looking car around, I love it and I never see them on the road today!

Nice! I've seen a few of these clean examples online. Really cool when people take care of these older cars.

Beautiful car, and a great new addition. Also, woof @ your car wash companion. 😳😍

Another nice addition to your collection. I look forward to watching the progress on this one. I wish I had a carwash buddy like you have. I would probably wash my car every day. LoL

🔥 👀 my brother just got one them in gold ! 🙏🏾 he said he gon keep it . I still have my legend coupe too but my head gasket just blew 🔧 🚘

That is spectacular. My mom had a 1st gen Legend and that V6 has always been my benchmark. The sound of the starter took me right back.

Ty’s I hope someday to attend an Acura convention 👍

My grandma’s 88 legend sedan was the same color, options etc. This legend gave me a passion for legends. Also thank you for the birthday shoutout.

She is pretty. Tyson you always get lucky on these beautiful Legends

Always enjoy the videos Tyson

Such a nice car! I love the two tone colours, and the paint still in great condition 👍🏼

Sometimes you just wana drive automatic.

Wow, a convention would be a place where I'd get lost in the information and history! Clean car by the way!

My neighbor got an '88 for FREE--from the elderly lady whose lawn he maintains. It went to his first daughter, and now in the hands of his second. I told him that was a great gift that he got, and he agreed.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 i love how clean and oem it is,great find

Sweet acquisition! I so dig those old school gauges and simple controls.

I'm currently looking at buying an 88' Acura and this video has really helped me get a feel for the car. Thank you so much!!

Oh man! 1st Gen Legend! I went to the dealer in Seattle to drive one of the 1st Legends in the fall of 1986. 5 speed w/ cloth! What an amazing example! Congrats, Tyson! Appreciate your work and your channel as a Honda enthusiast for 42 years, and an Acura enthusiast since 1986!

My dad's friend has one years ago in Nwe York.. fantastic ride

Beautiful car! Glad its in the hands of someone that appreciates these cars.

My father bought one of these used back in 1992. He was looking at cars on the Lexus of Stevens Creek dealership lot. There was a Claret Red 1988 Legend 5speed which he ended up buying. We had a 1986 BMW L7 and the Acura was supposed to be his commuter car but he enjoyed the car so much he drove it all the time.

The First legend I owned was this exact model and color. A 1988 legend L it was so clean but definitely not as clean as yours I loved that car. 🔥🔥🔥 Tyson you have all the best legends! No rust and that two tone! I had 17” tsw rims on it back in early 2000. My first acura.

I’ve got an 89 in as good condition if not better as trim is still fantastic/badged as a Honda down under - love your video/vehicle. I’ve never seen another one on the road

That is beautiful -- the owner took good care all these years. Nice find!

That's a nice a Legend. Acura really needs to bring it back. 1988 was a great year as well.

Ah the airbag 88! My aunt had a new 87 with gold bbs wheels. That’s how she bought it off the lot new in 87. Exterior color similar to yours

I finally got around to watching this vid in its entirety. Good stuff! "Open mind and open checkbook..." Ain't that the truth??! Loving the toothbrush on the plate as well as the car washing assistant slash model. :) BTW, I had no idea about this car until you posted this vid. It ain't your first rodeo, eh? haha

I remember my dad's 89 Legend fully loaded like it was yesterday. The only drawback of that car was the leather seats. The car would be perfect if it were made with Mercedes-quality leather.

Congrats on the 88. Yr I graduated high school 😁. I remember them very clearly. Around same time the Sterling were around. 👍🏾😁

This is the best car you own. Appears that The Protector company still exists as ECP! Put some of that on one of your clunkers.

Wow!! Great condition like a lot of your other cars but the miles are low too! Congrats

Nice find! There's not many left in that original condition, especially loaded with all of the options!

Beautiful design and color👍🏼

Blast from the past for real.

My first Legend was an 87 base model, the same color. Such a comfortable car!

It reminds me of the 88, 89 Accord’s LXi just larger and faster. Back in the day I had an .89 LXi 5spd 2 door coupe👍

I remember trying to purchase one in the mid 90s but was turned down because I didn't have good enough credit, instead they was trying to sell me a Ford instead 😅, I said to the salesman if I can't have the Acura legend I'm going home, luckily I was able to purchase a 89 Toyota camry drove it for a few years and finally in 2001 I was able to purchase myself a black 1996 Acura TL loaded up, now in 2022 iam driving a 2009 Acura TL SHAWD with 197,100 miles 😀 ❤ 😊

Clean! Came close to buying one of those a few times but I bought a 1989 Honda Accord SE-I instead with only 78k original miles

This was the best legend

$30K in 1988 is about $80K in today's money, that's insane money for an Acura sedan.

Ahhh there it is. Beautiful survivor LS sedan!

Aww man, I had this same exact car in 1997....but with a manual. The 5 speed was so fun to drive w nice TQ

Good afternoon brother from Morocco 🙌 nice car ^-^

I had a 1990 LS Sedan back in 2008, bought it for $300 from a used car lot, good car after fixing a decade of neglect

Now this is what I'm talking about!! My dad was like me, he loved cars and was always acquiring new ones. We back to back got an '87 Legend LS like this one identical except it was blue. Soon after their introduction he bought the new Infiniti Q45 and Lexus LS400 to live with the Legend LS.

Great car i used to own one back in the day..👍

Great example! other than the front seats car is in amazing condition.. Low miles looks like you hit another home run!

Beautiful Legend! I always liked these. Honestly I was scared to buy one though I'm sure you know the automatics were plagued with transmission issues.

Love the legend but every time I see this car all I think about is the Sterling 827.

Wow, a buddy of mine in high school had this exact spec car!

Every time I watch your video I tell myself I cannot Sal my Integra I have two of them 93 and the Honda Accord 1989

Wow beautiful car

Nice find! It would be fun to compare with my 1988 929, similar size although the Legend at $30k was about $8k more expensive

She’s a beauty!

Clean

Love it!!!

I have the same issue with the radio, please make a video on that I’d appreciate it!!!!! It’s so weird mobbing with earphones in again, that’s how it was in my first car🤣

Very cool find Tyson. What a difference in condition vs the Legend coupe next to it...

My 88 was one owner and only has 82k miles. I put a new water pump and timing belt. I had to have a special gasket made for the distributor because it was leaking oil and I could not find one anywhere. My interiotimes. I

Look how pretty it looks! Give it back haha

Same exact radio as my 1988 Acura Integra. Which I think stickered for $14,890

Nice

Do you have any 1986-1989 Honda Accord sedans in your Honda fleet? That was my first hand me down car 1988 Lx-i sedan miss the flip up lights.

Beautiful Legend! Ive never had the pleasure of driving a G1 sedan. I know this is an automatic, but have you ever driven a 5 speed G1 sedan? im curious if there is a different Gear ratio compared to the 5 speed coupes.

Very nice.. rare.

That 2.7L motor pretty fast!

I had the same car Same color and all

Anyone know where to find parts

you should get Honda legend

a guy i used to buy weed off of used to drive one of these.

She is a beauty . Acura seats are just awful

It looks weird to see u drive an automatic, lol!

Thats the car i just bought!! Now its a 89 but somebody put a junkyard motor in it from a 1988 Acura legend. I just took it to fix the oil leaks. Hopefully it can look somewhat decent soon

Ah the airbag 88! My aunt had a new 87 with gold bbs wheels. That’s how she bought it off the lot new in 87. Exterior color similar to yours
