    How cool! What an opportunity to meet someone that took a chance on car from a brand new division and to hold on to that car for so many decades! I can't wait to see it in the celebration coming up.

    That’s crazy! Such a beautiful color and he did take a gamble. Heck I don’t believe buying the first year of a new generation but buying a brand new whole make is wild.

    You hit the jackpot and so did Ron, a true enthusiast. It’s obvious he’s quite pleased the car found its way to you.

    That's cool you were able to meet up with the original owner and get the back story and some nice original items. I've done the same with a few of my cars and was always met with an original owner who was so happy I had contacted them

      Definitely, I bet he never thought he would hear about the car again

    I had an '87 Legend 4dr. Owned it for 20yrs. Bought it in Monterey, when we had an Acura dealership on the Peninsula. Love the car.

    Great story on a tried and tested car brand ( Acura/Honda) for a car to serve you for over 3 decades is a testament to the brand and to enthusiast who care for them! Tyson I'm sure you'll add another 3 decades of life to this one!!

    This is a special episode. I've always wanted to know what it was like to purchase a car the first year of the brand in 86'. It must have been wild for Ron to cruise the streets in a brand new Legend back then.

    This is a really good story. I love your t-shirt in this video. Simple. Have you ever thought about signing that shirt or another one similar, and raffle it off? Contest or something else? Ebay auction?

    I am sure Ron doesn't realize how
    how important those floor mats are and how nice it would be if they were back on the floor of the
    Legend.😉

    If an American Airline aircraft mechanic loves the ACURA brand that reinforces my hunch I’ve got a Kick Ass Car👍. And he use to own a CUTLASS 442👀
