Doug's Take

The original Acura NSX is one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars ever made, thanks to its fantastic handling, gorgeous styling, and a high-revving, mid-mounted V6. This particular NSX is especially desirable, as it has just 20,700 miles on the odometer – AND it has a 5-speed manual transmission! It’s also mostly unmodified, with tinted windows being the only change from stock. This NSX is also offered with a clean, accident-free Carfax report, and it has reportedly been in the hands of the same owner since 2004, further adding to the appeal. This looks like a truly beautiful NSX, and I'm proud to offer it on Cars & Bids.

Highlights

THIS... is a 1991 Acura NSX, finished in Berlina Black with an Ivory interior.

• This NSX features the desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and the odometer currently displays approximately 20,700 miles.
• The attached Carfax history report has a few gaps but shows no accidents for the given time period. It also shows 1 owner since 2004.
• Factory equipment on this NSX includes 15-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels, pop-up headlights, leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, an Acura Bose sound system, an automatic climate control system, and more. Modifications reported by the seller are limited to tinted windows.
• Sold as a Honda in global markets, the first-generation Acura NSX made its debut for 1991 as a user-friendly supercar with Ferrari-like performance and Japanese reliability. Aluminum construction kept weight in check, and the NSX stood out as the first production car equipped with titanium connecting rods. Production of the original NSX ended in 2005.
• Power comes from a 3.0-liter V6, rated at 270 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
