"Acura took it a special shop that restores vintage Ferrari's" This is a funny statement because this was taken to regular a Honda Service Center and Bodyshop, not a "special shop" and all the articles doesn't give the shop the credit as they worked almost 6 months restoring this car. Acura took all credit for the restoration when all they did was pay for it. -Someone who was part of the restoration team on this car.
Gotta respect the guy for staying loyal to his original car. A shame it was in a wreck but karma to the other guy because he didn't get his car restored for free ;)
I actually like the Legend more than a lot of modern cars. This car came from a time where almost every car manufacturer had a crown jewl(s) this was one of them. This car has character, it influenced other car designs that came after it.
In the 80's and 90's...drug dealers kind of dictated what was hot on the streets. Whether it was the Ac Legend, the Audi 5000 or the Chevy S-10 Blazer, drug dealers set the trends...because they had the money to do so.
Call me crazy but if they would of retrofitted the headlights with projectors, HID's, Brembo 4-piston calipers, updated leather Recaro seats, updated the instruments panel with high quality instrumentation, LED's, navigation system (Alpine 8-inch display or Pioneer NEX-8100), updated sound system, and being Acura, with all their resources, added the 3.5 L from the RL...car would of looked better than a lot of Acura's current line up.
Why would you replace those comfortable seats with Recaro's? He's not trying to set a laptime, this is supposed to be a comfy daily driver, and those cushy leather seats look comfy af.
+varun jaitly as someone who owned a Legend, they aight (the seats that is). not that much better than modern Recaros if at all. the car itself was way ahead of its time (style and tech) for its class (whatever that was).
nice. love the old acuras, back when they were built to last and they had real names, not a bunch of alphabets... it's got just the right amount of updating without going overboard.
Definitely the late 80s & 90s drug dealer car, Jersey was full of them & just about every foreign car you could think of. Some of the cars I remember were the Saab 900 & 9000, Peugeot 405 & 505, Alfa Romeo Milano, Audi 5000 & Mercedes 190E & 300E just to name a few.
Haha, I had 1995 Acura Legend L and I loved it! When I bought my Lexus I sold it dirt cheap and always regretted it, I should have kept it. Great car, I still think about it, like today, that's how I found this video.
02 RL (still a Legend, KA9 chassis code). 96,122 miles and she’s getting a full work up now so she can spend the next 10 years worry free cruising down the road
My dad bought the same exact car in 1996. It was the same beautiful tan color with the gold package and chrome 16 in 5 spokes, I always lusted after it and it became my first car at 17 years old, two months later I hit a barrier on the freeway and totaled it Beyond repair it will always be the one that got away LOL I have so much respect for Ludacris now I knew he always love the Legends but I didn't know it was that one, when you see legends today they are in terrible terrible condition except for the rare senior that still has theirs in decent condition that car is a true legend....
I got a 94 vigor with nearly 360k on it and I will soon do a video on it. Haven't seen many videos on them at all. Dinosaurs but some of the best cars ever made.
I can just picture myself being that famous and riding that One car who has been there with u all this years it’s just like a bound up build with it like father and son ❤
I have a 92 Acura Vigor. Has a 176hp Inline 5 engine on it... Pretty great car and fun to drive. Definitely bumped a lot of 90's hip hop in it... Classic.
I've never heard of this car, and this is my first time checking it out, and it is a timeless design for sure. I definitely can see how it was ahead of its time.
He made it seem like he took care of it from the start but the girl said it was rebuild and refurbished by Acura after getting into an accident with it 😂😂😂
This car will be featured in The Fate And The Furious, jumping over helicopters, crashing into takes, driving out of exploding buildings and bikini models shaking their asses around it.
Absolutely nothing out of place about that car being at SEMA. Anyone who's had any contact with a 2nd gen Legend knows it was one of Honda/Acura's finest moments. Timeless design also. I'm sure it's also his fav car because he knows he literally has to do nothing but brakes and oil changes to get another 200k mi out of it. This era of car is long gone
Old school new school all cool and is always good to see people still taking care of the old car , everyone every car have their story . thumb up for Ludacris .
I used to work at a lube shop, and there was one guy who came in every 3 months on the dot to get the oil changed in his Volkswagen Corrado. This thing was like new. When you see an old car that’s in that good condition, it draws more stares than anything. The best part is, most people can’t even figure out why they like it so much.
I've always respected that he kept this car.
And it has always been look after to
+carlos ortiz to...
Big facts
He ain’t got no choice Acura got him on the payroll

Put some respeck on their name lol
@@NetworkBruh 🤣
Never let the dealer touch your car. Parts guys tend to be honest but not the servicing guys who quote the work.
Respect for working on such a project. Yeah they paid for it, but painstakingly restoring it isn’t easy or something to be taken lightly.
Don’t know if I believe this unless you somehow reply after 3 years i mean it makes sense but idk you got your paycheck
When Acura takes your 20 year old beater and restores it
What you gon do?
Act a FOOL!
I walked into that 😭😂😂
Lmao
Yea I fell for this hook line & sinker
Legend looks better than any new Acura design by far - definitely timeless car.
yeah the better
I agree
I have a 04 TL and I agree, the Lengend is the best looking acura of all time. They need to come out with legend type s.
Yeah this thing is seriously sexy asf.
This is why I’m restoring my 02 RL (Legends Successor in the US but still the Legend in Japan)
Gotta respect the guy for staying loyal to his original car. A shame it was in a wreck but karma to the other guy because he didn't get his car restored for free ;)
The wreck happened when the tow hitch on a u haul came off and smashed into the car

Facts
Whats with the drug dealer comment?
Luda liked it because the drug dealers had it.
In the 80's and 90's...drug dealers kind of dictated what was hot on the streets. Whether it was the Ac Legend, the Audi 5000 or the Chevy S-10 Blazer, drug dealers set the trends...because they had the money to do so.
I know, that sounded kinda stupid to me.
YEAH, she coulda left the drug dealer part out. Had absolutely nothing to do with the car.
so audi and acura were popular by drug dealers really.
I love it too. This is beautiful car.
About time Legends got some respect. ~Dv8
You still have the yellow turbo Legend?
Call me crazy but if they would of retrofitted the headlights with projectors, HID's, Brembo 4-piston calipers, updated leather Recaro seats, updated the instruments panel with high quality instrumentation, LED's, navigation system (Alpine 8-inch display or Pioneer NEX-8100), updated sound system, and being Acura, with all their resources, added the 3.5 L from the RL...car would of looked better than a lot of Acura's current line up.
+1czelaya They did end up upgrading the brakes to 6 piston wilwoods and they upgraded the headunit and a custom system in the back.
Why would you replace those comfortable seats with Recaro's? He's not trying to set a laptime, this is supposed to be a comfy daily driver, and those cushy leather seats look comfy af.
+varun jaitly
as someone who owned a Legend, they aight (the seats that is). not that much better than modern Recaros if at all. the car itself was way ahead of its time (style and tech) for its class (whatever that was).
why would you turn a luxury cruiser into a race car? especially considering Acura is flipping the bill
It's a sofa on wheels.
Ludacris got some great taste in cars if his favorite ride is his Acura Legend...they are Legend'ary cars ;)
lol you said "drug dealer" aren't you cool now lol
Wu Tang got me into Acura Legends in 1993
how? did they drive it in their vids?
I think in was in the video cream
SANYUR its in the heaven or hell video too
This is comment is dope!
len jon that was a 300zx
Going to look at a 93 legend tomorrow same color and everything ❤️👌🏼
nice. love the old acuras, back when they were built to last and they had real names, not a bunch of alphabets... it's got just the right amount of updating without going overboard.
Beautiful car! My first car was a white 1991 Acura Legend sedan 👍
Definitely the late 80s & 90s drug dealer car, Jersey was full of them & just about every foreign car you could think of. Some of the cars I remember were the Saab 900 & 9000, Peugeot 405 & 505, Alfa Romeo Milano, Audi 5000 & Mercedes 190E & 300E just to name a few.
Wish Acura would do that with my Legend.
they need to bring the legends back
Drê yessss
the RL is what the legend is now
They never stopped making legends. They just changed the name.
Haha, I had 1995 Acura Legend L and I loved it! When I bought my Lexus I sold it dirt cheap and always regretted it, I should have kept it. Great car, I still think about it, like today, that's how I found this video.
Honda has a history of abandoning popular model designs!
they need to punish the higher ups who made those decisions
I Have A 1991 Acura Legend L Coupe So Far It Has 245,654 Miles On It And Still Going Strong ^.^
+Infamous Mindz ent. 91 sedan...158k :)
93 Legend Coupe .. 152k :)
Sedan 300,000+ miles, got it for free, still runs, came with 2 12" subs. Also my first car. i want another one.
can someone help me find a link or someone I could contact to get parts for my 1994 Acura legend 2 door ???????
02 RL (still a Legend, KA9 chassis code). 96,122 miles and she’s getting a full work up now so she can spend the next 10 years worry free cruising down the road

I have so much respect for Ludacris now I knew he always love the Legends but I didn't know it was that one, when you see legends today they are in terrible terrible condition except for the rare senior that still has theirs in decent condition that car is a true legend....
still a really good looking car!
0:49 They missed a spot on the trunk lit
Acura should've gone for the original wheels. I bet Ludas would prefer the original ones.
I got a 94 vigor with nearly 360k on it and I will soon do a video on it. Haven't seen many videos on them at all. Dinosaurs but some of the best cars ever made.
I love Asian girls 😍😍😍
This shows he never forgot where he came from LC💯
its a shame the last nice interior from acura was in 93.
yes sir this Legend was 91-95
I think the tl had nice interiors also.
The car was famous for drug dealers that's out of content To the car show
YOU LEFT OUT THAT IT WAS HIS FIRST CAR THAT HE BOUGHT!!
Had a green Legend LS myself. Transmissions for it are a bitch, but it was a sweet ride.
STILL better than a lot of Acuras recent efforts.
This car was beyond its time!
With the brakes wheels stance and go fast mods that Thing looks perfect
I can just picture myself being that famous and riding that One car who has been there with u all this years it’s just like a bound up build with it like father and son ❤
I've always hated when these reporters want to try and sound cool and hip you don't need to say bling even for 2015 that sounds horrible
I have a 92 Acura Vigor. Has a 176hp Inline 5 engine on it... Pretty great car and fun to drive. Definitely bumped a lot of 90's hip hop in it... Classic.
I had a 1994 Acura Vigor and I am a huge Hip-Hop fan. A Tribe Called Quest is my favorite group. Hip-Hop forever.
man, i be watching Lou Thomas, just disrespecting the 1995 Acura Legend !
shit got me pissed off 😡
I've never heard of this car, and this is my first time checking it out, and it is a timeless design for sure. I definitely can see how it was ahead of its time.
I wish i could saved my white acura legend , my girl fucked that car up and ill never forgive her for that....
He made it seem like he took care of it from the start but the girl said it was rebuild and refurbished by Acura after getting into an accident with it 😂😂😂
are these wheels available to the common consumer or are they 1/1 because they'd look amazing on my 07 TL type s. please let me know they're eye candy
He just needs the original rims and he'll be all set.
Still driving my 1993 Honda Accord. Same car as this. I can see why he enjoys his so much. It's a joy to drive!
evilpeach2 definitely not the same. Legend was far more plush and luxurious, heavier, quieter, more power
I figured that out after i posted the comment a year ago lol
The Acura Vigor was the super/luxory Accord style car. It had a 176hp engine, I think the Accord had a 125hp engine or so?
I would of much rather seen his reaction of the new car. Because honestly it looked pretty junky before even without the accident they did it nice tho
I always wondered why is it on his album cover (Ludaversal).
Honda loves snatching failure from the jaws of success, why else would they drop the "Legend" name?
LUDA! Haha
I don't really give a shit about these new cars I have 1999 acura rl and feels so luxury
what a timeless design
I haVe the 2001 CL Type S,,, and not parting with it for NOTHING!!
Acura legend was my favourite car. Now I’m getting a tlx.
This car will be featured in The Fate And The Furious, jumping over helicopters, crashing into takes, driving out of exploding buildings and bikini models shaking their asses around it.
I scored a 1995 Legend sedan with only 128,000 miles...
ironically that Legend has got more street credit than another other cars on that floor.
Mad Respect for this, mine would just be a 6 speed thats all.
RE71Rs nice
but the drug dealer comments are unnecessary
Honda Legend is a good car too.
It is actually the same car in terms of parts usage.
In the movie "Only the Strong" the bad guy, Silverio, who was the drug dealer, drove a Legend.
Man, looking at these cars side by side, you really see how far technology has come...
he says that driving his acura is humbling
I bent people still drives the 1993 Acura legend
Absolutely nothing out of place about that car being at SEMA. Anyone who's had any contact with a 2nd gen Legend knows it was one of Honda/Acura's finest moments. Timeless design also. I'm sure it's also his fav car because he knows he literally has to do nothing but brakes and oil changes to get another 200k mi out of it. This era of car is long gone
1:04 the passive aggression is strong with this one😂
I had a 2005 Acura TL…and that’s about it
It’s fully rebuilt I seen Honda talkin bout it
I had a pearl white 1992 Acura legend in excellent condition with 269k miles until my friend totaled it. saddest day ever...
came here from drink champs ❤
Acura Legend ka7 is like the BMW E38 of Honda, timeless design and discrete yet luxurious
Ludicrous is a true car guy
I have a 2002 acura TL and dearly love it as it is my first car... I'll probably be doing the same thing Ludacris did with his legend
Old school new school all cool and is always good to see people still taking care of the old car , everyone every car have their story . thumb up for Ludacris .
My family thinks I should donate my 1993 Acura Legend. They don't understand why I keep it.
True the legend looks better than the new Acura
I remember when my brother had a black on black coupe 1995 Acura Legend 6 speed type 2 that car was a beast
It's crazy how ludicrous keeps is so real man he still riding in the same way before he even made it big ya dig
i had a 93. black an tan. lord i miss that car.
Pretty sure he doesn't have private jets.
Legend'ary cars are for legendary people - I wouldn't trade mine in for any other car in the world.
I still break my neck if I see one.
Why did they hand the script to a woman?
Just got a 92 legend same color 🥹
Wheres the tv in the steering wheel
It says a lot when he could have any car in production and a 93 Acura is his favorite.
This car its too heavy i had a 1990
Man, that’s crazy awesome!!!
Lexus should restore Matt Farrah's million mile lexus when it gets to one million.
legend has it Luda loves the bling
One of my favourite cars of all time for pretty much the same reason as Luda.
One real reason I’m sticking to my Acura TL just such good cars.
I have an 06 Acura TL and I love it as much as Luda loves his legend. There is something about old Acura’s that makes me love em
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
beautiful car.... Ludacris I'm a legend so I still drive in my ac ! lol
I used to work at a lube shop, and there was one guy who came in every 3 months on the dot to get the oil changed in his Volkswagen Corrado. This thing was like new. When you see an old car that’s in that good condition, it draws more stares than anything. The best part is, most people can’t even figure out why they like it so much.
Acura has absolutely nothing on their lineup
should've changed the headlights and taillights to something similar but nicer than the oems on it. imo it wouldve made it look better
Sup yo! Great! amazing mammoth What do you think...
That's awesome!
I had a white 5 speed coupe. I loved that car
"Rapper cars"... Ugh
