The Acura NSX features a lightweight aluminum semi-monocoque structure developed with support from Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna and IndyCar champion Bobby Rahal. First unveiled at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the NSX entered production in 1990, quickly establishing itself as one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars. This 1997 NSX-T, ordered in striking Spa Yellow Pearl over Onyx leather upholstery, was acquired by its second and current owner in 2014. This NSX-T is now being offered for auction out of New York, with just over 21k miles showing on the odometer.
For the 1997 model year, the NSX featured lighter and stronger aluminum alloy bodywork for its doors, fenders, hood, and decklid. This NSX-T is one of only 245 pre-facelift U.S. NA2 versions reportedly finished in Spa Yellow Pearl, complete with a matching removable hardtop. Features include pop-up headlamps, side air intakes, an integrated rear wing, a full-width LED taillight, power-adjustable mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. It rides on aftermarket wheels, though the original 16”/17” seven-spoke forged aluminum wheels are said to accompany the sale. Minor scrapes are noted on the underside of the front spoiler, with detailed images available in the gallery alongside a clean CARFAX report.
The driver is situated in an Onyx leather interior with color-coordinating carpets, power-adjustable sports seats, and a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows and locks, a theft-deterrent system, a center console armrest, and a BOSE sound system with an AM/FM cassette stereo and a remote CD changer. The seller notes an occasional “sticky” tachometer needle and failing rear trunk lid pistons. All other gauges, electronics, and accessories are confirmed to be in proper working order.
The 1997 NSX features a revised C32B V6 DOHC engine with a 3.2-liter displacement and a reconfigured stainless-steel exhaust manifold. Equipped with VTEC variable valve timing, it produces 290 HP and 224 lb.-ft of torque, delivered to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The chassis includes a four-wheel double-wishbone suspension, electric variable-assist power steering, a traction control system, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The seller states routine oil changes have been performed.
This sale includes a clean title, the original owner’s manuals, a spare tire, an unused toolkit, and an air pump.
The seller would like you to know: “MY 97 NSX is in perfect condition, it's totally original and its never set rain or snow. It's been kept in a heated garage. It's a clean and straight vehicle with only 21,000 babied miles. I bought the car because it was a soon-to-be classic, and its lines reminded me of a Ferrari. They were touted as an exotic everyday driver when they first came out. Being an ACURA (HONDA), they were made to drive without worrying about breaking down and incurring a large expense. Most of the Acura's NSXs from the 90s that are still on the road have an average of 80,000 miles and up. I have driven my NSX to a few local car shows here on Long Island, and it's amazing to see how the patrons flock to see how this rare specimen outshines most others.”
