Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to view my listing. This 1996 NSX-T looks absolutely incredible in Midnight Pearl with Tan leather interior. This NSX was one of only four produced in 1996 with these options. This NSX is practically flawless and has only been in one very minor accident in its entire life. The front bumper was lightly damaged, but none of the rest of the body was damaged. When the bumper was replaced, the rest of it was resprayed at a very high quality shop due to fading on the roof and quarter panels. The California sun was the culprit of that. It literally looks better than new. There are no runs, no mismatching panels, and absolutely no evidence of any imperfections other than some very slight rock pecks on the front bumper. This NSX has always had a clean/clear title and it couldn't possibly be nicer. The factory leather seating is still in phenomenal condition and only the center radio trim panel and radio have been changed inside. The double din radio with Apple CarPlay is very nice and the speakers sound great with the upgraded audio system. When the audio was installed, the previous owner decided that he didn't like the tan carpet inside so he installed black carpet instead of the tan. In my opinion, it matches better with black carpet than with tan and it looks as if it came factory that way. All maintenance is up to date with the timing belt and water pump replaced just three years ago. Everything needed was replaced at that time. Heater hoses, coolant hoses, plugs, belts, axles, and oil pan gasket were among the bits replaced at the time. Last year NSXRACKREPAIR.com rebuilt the EPS steering rack and replaced both the inner and outer tie rod ends along with all the hardware and boots. It literally runs, drives, steers, shifts, and brakes as new. While I have had it, I replaced the brake pads all around, I changed the oil, and had it ceramic coated all over. It literally needs nothing other than a new owner. Below, I will do my best to describe this glorious NSX-T from bumper to bumper.
EXTERIOR
The exterior is better than new, having a respray costing over $5,000. The beautiful Midnight Pearl paint looks absolutely amazing and is so nice that it looks as if the paint is still wet. All of the panels fit great, the rubber seals all around are either new or as new. The doors close tightly and perfectly with no sagging or dragging. The hood fits perfectly with no wide gaps or misaligned corners. The bumpers fit tight without any gaps or issues. The quarter panels are perfect without any door dings or flaws. The deck lid (trunk) fits perfectly against the quarters and tail lights. There is everything to impress and nothing to disappoint. Even the wheels have no curbing and look great. Here are a few pics of this NSX with the targa top removed. It really does look breathtaking and even better with the top removed.
Engine Bay & Bonnet
The engine bay is exceptionally clean and looks great. There are no signs of wear or issues at all. You can tell that it has been very well kept and always taken care of. Even the clam shell that the top fits in is still in perfect condition and works just as it should. Under the hood/bonnet looks amazing as well. Every module, hose, and pipe looks great and without issue. There is no rust on the ABS module like most NSXs have and it even still retains its factory radiator and the spare has never been used. Under the spare is a factory Honda battery that I purchased new last year.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in excellent condition with no signs of wear anywhere. The steering wheel is supple and smooth with no scratches or tears, the dash is perfect with no problems with the stitching or vinyl. The center console has been modified to accept a double din head unit and it looks great. The color is only slightly off from the rest of the panels and isn't noticeable unless you look closely. By modifying the factory trim panel, you get to keep the factory ash tray and lighter, so you'll have easy access to a phone charger and whatnot. The seat leather is original and is still in very good shape for its age. There is very minimal wear on the bolsters and it is obvious that it has been very well cared for. The leather is supple and soft with no hard spots present anywhere. The floor mats are Zanardi mats with the red trim. They're in great shape and only a few months old. Also this NSX is fitted with a keyless entry/alarm, so there is an LED to the right of the factory clock that will glow when the alarm is engaged. The climate control works perfectly as its supposed to and the a/c and heat work great. Even the windows roll up and down quickly and smoothly unlike most NSXs. It's very obvious that this is a very nice NSX that has been cared for all of its life.
Exterior Extras and Wheels
In the pics below, you can really tell just how nice the paint and body is. There are no door dings anywhere and scratches are practically non-existent except for a few on the front bumper. I tried to take pics, but they're so minor that they don't really show up in the pics. The headlights are still shiny and perfect. The LED conversion kit looks great at night and unlike the factory bulbs, the LEDs allow the driver to actually see good at night. The LED lighting conversion is tucked away nicely under the headlights so they look and operate as factory. The tires are matching BFGoodrich and in 80% condition up front and about 50% in the rear.
