1991 ACURA NSX

Details

As the first mass-production car to feature an all-aluminum body, the Acura NSX broke new ground in the world of sports cars. Instead of a large displacement V8 or V12, it packed a 3.0-liter V6 engine with Honda's famous VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system, which, in this example, is backed by a 5-speed manual transmission. Although the cars were only rated for 270hp, a curb weight of just over 3,000 pounds gave the car an excellent horsepower-to-weight ratio and

excellent handling capabilities. The formula was a recipe for success, with Acura selling just shy of 2,000 cars in 1991. This particular 1991 example comes from a collection of several low-mile, pristine-condition NSXs. It is finished in the factory shade of Formula Red with a black leather interior. Originally sold new in Ohio, it has spent the majority of its life being well cared for in the state of Washington, before the current owner acquired it and brought it to Arizona in 2015. With just 20,800 actual miles on the odometer, it has been maintained well with dealer service records dating back to 2010, including a replacement of the timing belt at 19,000 miles. The car is in factory spec, having never been modified or tampered with. It retains the stock stereo head unit and the stock leather seats are near factory condition. The factory 16' wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash or scratches, and it still retains the factory spare underneath the hood. The vehicle was hit by another vehicle in 2011 and has since passed a multi-point inspection at an Acura dealership. According to the inspection the vehicle meets all factory standards, and shows no signs of non-OEM parts and no signs of damage.
