    A fun car was the 96 Honda Prelude. The H22A pulled hard in that car.

    The owner's dad ordered this car brand new, and chose only the options he needed. Like the '83 Camaro above, this Buick does not have A/C or intermittent wipers. It also has an AM radio and lacks a passenger side mirror! He paid approximately $5,200 cash (no financing, which is probably a good thing considering how high interest rates were back then), which was a lot of money for a vehicle with no A/C in 1977!

    A little under 184K miles on the car, which is low for 1977 when you think about it!

    Going back to the interior, it has been reupholstered. The car never had a frame-off restoration or anything, but as stated above the engine was overhauled. In addition to the engine and the interior, the exterior has also been repainted...

    The factory AM radio was replaced by a cassette deck and new speakers (the owner told me that the car originally had one speaker, but he added more)...

    NAS Willow Grove (Now an Air National Guard base) is located right over the county line from Warrington, and military trucks are a very common sight in the immediate area. These guys came through while I was taking pictures of the Buick...

    I used to have a "Truck Porn" thread, but I had it merged into this thread and am having a hard time finding the remnants of it...
