When’d you last see one in good shape? 1988 Acura Legend Coupe

These were very nice in their day, but are rarely seen today, save for the occasional beater.  This one appears to be in great shape and has a clutch pedal.

By today’s standards, these don’t have a lot of power, but they made for a great package at the time.  Your humble host got to drive and enjoy a 1988 automatic version some in the early 90s and would bet the manual would be very fun.  The second-gen Legend GS 6-speed sedan or 6-speed coupe (each with the Type II engine) likely qualify as the holy grails of Legends, but we think this manual-equipped original is awfully close.  Is the price right?
