Very rare 1 of 1 production vehicle! Exceptionally unique, factory Spa Yellow non-targa roof with manual 6-speed transmission! Freshly serviced with new tires! Fast, fun, & reliable! From concept to reality, the Acura NSX spent seven dedicated years on the tracks to refine it to its peak level of performance before offered to the public. With Honda1/2s engineering team instructed to use whatever means necessary to create a car that was both reliable enough for both street & track use, but also exceeded the performance and design qualities of any performance sports car coming out of Europe. They utilized their connection to the Formula 1 racing circuit thoroughly with driver incite from Japan1/2s Satoru Nakajima, 3-time world Champion Ayrton Senna from Brazil, and America1/2s Bobby Rahal to tune the chassis rigidity, and road handling characteristics, to be second to none! It debuted in 1991 using the Acura nameplate in the USA and became Automobile magazine1/2s Car of the Year! A great deal of the car1/2s success lies in the lightweight design. It was the first production car to utilize an all-aluminum, ultra light monocoque body, ultra rigid aluminum alloy frame, and aluminum suspension components. This all aiding in shedding unnecessary pounds, increasing overall chassis rigidity, and improving handling! By 1997, improvements came about with a better 6-speed transmission, bigger brakes, more horsepower & torque from a larger displacement engine, better rear end gear ratio, and improvements to weight and body rigidity! We are very excited to offer this exceptionally rare 1999 Acura NSX Coupe (#180) finished in striking Spa Yellow over Black leather interior! This car comes to us with only 51,025 original miles! Powered by the robust, high-revving 3.2L VTEC engine with variable valve timing, titanium connecting rods, and forged aluminum pistons producing a stout 290 horsepower built with an incredible 8,000 rpm redline! Options include 6-speed manual transmission, automatic climate control, Bose audio system, tilt/telescopic steering column, dual power seats, power windows & mirrors, power locks, cruise control, full dash instrumentation, and upgraded 161/2 front & 171/2 rear 7-spoke, chrome light alloy wheels! Honda nailed their intentions to manufacture a reliable supercar! History has already proven these cars to be as carefree with maintenance equaling a modern day Honda Accord! This wonderfully cared for example delivered new to San Diego, CA where it stayed the great majority of its life. It made its way to Florida in 2008 when it was purchased by its 3rd owner. It has been properly serviced from day one staying with the original Acura dealership that ordered it through 2005. Used primarily as a marketing tool, it was showcased at southern California race tracks to promote Acura cars and draw crowds to a dealer sbowcase. What makes this example uniquely special is that only 221 NSX1/2s were manufactured in 1999 making it one of the lowest production years during production. Of those 221 cars, only 35 were Spa Yellow! Moreover, only 4 total units were produced in the lighter, fixed-roof-coupe design, all of which had the 6-speed manual transmission. Only 1 Spa Yellow coupe was made in 1999, and this is it! An extremely rare investment is the sports car market today! Although involved in an accident while still under Acura MSO in 2002 that damaged the driver rear quarter panel, it was deemed salvage by the insurance company & dealership since it could no longer be sold as a new automobile. The repairs were professionally completed by the dealership auto body shop, and later sold privately in 2005 to its first registered owner. It has been upgraded with a ComTech stainless steel performance exhaust system with 31/2 exhaust tips. The exhaust note is racy with a perfect, throaty pitch! The only other upgrade would be the cross-drilled brake rotors with new brake pads. The tires were replaced just 3,000 miles ago with BF Goodrich G-Force ZR-rated tires. The battery and the oil/filter are brand new. It will come with all books/manuals. It remains in outstanding driving condition, amazingly quick, and incredibly easy to drive! For those collectors looking for a fast, agile sports car without the maintenance headaches, look no further!!
