non-existant except for Type R's produced overseas. No 2002 and up NSX's ever came from the factory as a coupe. When have 1 now here in the US :biggrin:

That's true. Missed that post.
Yes, I do. I immediately guessed it was a salvage.
So what makes everybody think VIN: JH4NA2136XT000180 is the one that actually came with that body???
This car might be so extremely rare, that even Acura doesn't even know about it.
Anybody lose a yellow coupe? Get the car checked by your local highway patrol before you do anything. They have a free verification procedure that takes about an hour.

Everyone thought that his car was 1/1 produced and it has an interesting history behind it. Now it is 1/2 produced but the only one with a clean title. When I saw that car at NSXPO 04 it has 8x,xxx miles on it. Im sure by now the miles are over 100k
Honda confirmed with me a few years ago that the only yellow coupe in North America came here in 1998. This car is a salvage title and was a repainted coupe. Probably was a white one.

I agree that it has probably been repainted. You say it was hit in the rear and now has a salvage title, but the front in the very first picture doesn't look right to me. It might be the angle or whatever, but the front of the right fender and bumper look a little off.
Does your friend know when it was hit or can you tell me when your friend bought this car and from who?

It was not repaint color.
My friend got it from insurance auction, it was hit the back, not that bad though.
He fixed the trunk floor and that's about it. The front is perfect.
It is real yellow one. not repaint color.
Here is another picture, see the color code, Y-52P, yellow with preal.
Yes, it is salvage but for the lower price and how rare it is, do you guys think it is worth a buy?

Dood, the fact that this car is in such good shape *screams* VIN SWITCH. Do you not get it???
It might not be worth a thin dime.
It might be one heck of a deal.
But DO NOT change money until you get it checked out.

This car is belong to my friend and it is CHP and DMV verfied after repaired.
No Vin issues on this car, just the title and the rear was damaged.
If you don't agree on any salvaged NSX, I understand that.

I've got no problem with a salvage. But they have to look like one...this one even has the "deep shine" that apparently only Honda can do so well.
DMV could care less...they require a 1) A fee and 2) A safety check. Osama could get his drivers license and a car bomb through DMV as long as he pays his fees and the turn signals work.
As for the CHP--dunno. They should have return a document stated they did a "VIN authentication" and found no problems. There is a local "TRAP" in San Diego where they will verify the car.
Your money: you do as you like. I'm posting for others at this point.

Unless Honda doesn't know how many cars they produced. Then this was a repaint or body panel swap. Swapping panels on an NSX is easy, it's like a Fiero. But even looking at the front of that car you can see that it was pieced together. I also see you removed the picture of the front of that car. There were a lot of gaps in that picture, if it was hit in the back, maybe it got pushed into something cause that front was messed with.
By the way the car in the picture I attached (as confirmed by American Honda with me) is the only Yellow Coupe ever brought into the country. It was used by American Honda for magazine testing and on a side note, has been called a freak by the dealership due to how strong the motor is compared to similar 3.2s...massaged by Honda for the magazine testing, maybe. But running 12.8 bone stock on factory tires with 7,000 miles probably says something was done by them. It also ran a 12.57 with bolt-ons and good tires. An American NSX-R...would be kind of cool!
There is no such thing as the whole story with a salvage title. I would never buy a car with a salvage title no matter how rare. It is now worthless because it was rolled down and mountain and slapped back together. Take whatever they said was done to it X10 and you should be close to the real story.

I do believe I know this car and looked at it when I was making my purchasing decision two years ago. By any chance did you buy this car near Orlando? Silver with black top and black interior right? I had tested it twice, had it put through a dealer inspection, made an offer, and was negotiating with the seller when they suddenly pulled out and sold it to another party (perhaps you?). It's definitely a rare bird and was being sold for a VERY good price as I remember. Actually, I think I still have some photos of the car (I took photos of all of the NSXs I was considering).
All's well that ends well though as shortly thereafter I ended up with a Red/Black '00 T with much lower miles also at a great price. I actually like being able to pop the top on the sunny days here in Florida.

For some reason they dont have accurate records. Luckily Integra Type R's were number but other than that; they never really have accurate production numbers published with color, model, trim level and everyting else. I do have the ability to get the window stickers of all year vehicles:biggrin:BRIDGEWATER ACURA said:They have no idea... Trust me
Then I think you should start requesting window stickers for every nsx 1999 and up so that we can complete the production list. :biggrin:

Speaking of coupes in general, there is an NSXCA member here in AZ that traded in his 2000 Monaco blue NSX-T on a new 2001 Red/black Coupe with a black roof. As far as I know, he still has the car.
I wish there was a better way track production #'s. This summer I may compile a spreadsheet or some thing like that.

Then do us all a favor and just get the window sticker for this VIN. If the window sticker says coupe...Honda was WRONG and there were at least 2 1999 Yellow NSX Coupes! If it says Targa...run...run fast from that car! Debate settled! :smile:
