honda prelude 1995 black automatic.
car accident front end is pretty mashed up
STILL SOMEWHAT DRIVABLE, car turns on and drives but i wouldnt call it safe since it WILL overheat. the radiator is obviously dead.
interior is clean but some stains in the back from purple ink/paint
either you come drive it away slowly or tow it.
im sure you can fix it with some time and money.
engine has 170+ on it

I somehow doubt that this is worth $700.

Look at that thing from the B-pillars back It's like they said "gently caress it, no idea how to design a coupe" and just walked away.

Compare the 262C, manufactured by Bertone and with custom interior and bodywork by Bertone with the ordinary Volvo 242 (GT).

262C

242

~luxury~ :barf:

I would love that car, if only it was a 242.

Are these cars easy to work on and maintain? This thing is super clean

They're fairly easy to work on and understand, from what I know of my 240 (same engine but no turbo) and my dad's 960 (same body, different engine). The engine in that one will last forever given proper maintenance.

I did call the number in the ad, but nobody answered and it said that their voicemail box hadn't been set up yet. Take that as you will.
