I have an old 88 prelude SI automatic tranny which works great. The body is in really good shape and the car has new tires and a new battery. One of the valves tap but the engine runs well and doesn't burn oil. If you have 2500 this would be a cheap base and you could swap a motor like an ls vtec in the car. Or re-build whats in it. I drove it from bradenton to tampa yesterday.
