Edmonton Silver Nsx Parked c/w dust at the Manhatten.

[ffffanman]

Anyone know whos Silver (we think) Nsx is parked on the first level of the parkade at The Manhatten in Edmonton? It was noticed in September and hasn't moved yet! Its nicely coated with a thick layer of dust that people now have started writing in.
I will gladly go wash this car if I could get permission.

Call me if you need to make bail. :wink:

Good Luck!

I don't need the bail money but a steak sandwich would be great!
And something to wash all that dust down. Perhaps a ceaser!
Its a silver 91 5 speed with 160,000 km on it.
Looking at the dust thickness and the rust on the rotors, this baby hasn't seen sunlight in a while. The tears are still frozen on my cheek.

p.s. Its number 289.

I cant see the car????? All I see is a pile of dirt???

Is the car behind that pile?

 

[docjohn]

Why can't you run a carfax on the vin? that may turn up something,unless Canadian cars are not part of any such database.

Mitch I think you should just buy it, to save it!

LOL! I have to know who the owner is first......dang, that poor car looks abandoned. Where were the plates from?? Local car??

I wonder why it was left there?? The owner may be dead....I am not joking. That would be one of the only explanations besides jail that I could think of.

 

[Meeyatch1]

May be a stupid question, but was it locked??

the LR tire looks deflated as well..

I can't imagine what would cause an NSX to just sit there, for what appears to be YEARS unless

a) the owner is dead or in the klink (as noted)
b) the car had some sort of disasterous failure that the owner has not gotten around to fixing yet (engine/tranny?)
c) the owner moved overseas, and plans to return to the car at a later date

Detective questions I can think of are:
When were the plates last updated (the little yearly stickers)?
Is there construction in the area to accumulate all that dust?
The tires look like they have decent tread depth, do they have a manufacture date stamped in them?
Perhaps someone can call the DMV and see when the car was last registered?

C is very likely. While I was on assignment abroad, I stored my NSX for 6 months before selling it. It didn't have that kind of dust on it though!

Don't wonder too much!
I got this thing covered and will let you know asap.
Going undercover!
Caveman and NCC, collect money for bail!
NCC - alert the gang unit incase of rumble.

d. Drug dealers with loads of cash who had to disappear in a hurry and are not really worried about 30-35K worth of vehicle?

This happened to a house near where my parents lived. I knew the previous owner. Nice house, respectable suburb, new owner paid cash, lived there for 6-12 months and then just disapeared and left without even closing the windows. The gardens overgrew and the pool dried up, eventually the neighbours cleaned up the yard and mowed the lawn to at least make it look respectable again. Never saw the owners again. The house after 5 years like that was sold by an agent but I don't know whether the money went to the Govt or offshore???

 

[Cruzrmm]

It's all speculation! :wink:
If the answer is ever discovered then I am sure interested in the history and story behind this mystery NSX!
As it is said, "Truth is stranger than fiction".
Actually I live "South of the Border"
Not Mexico - MONTANA!
Just hours away from Edmonton.
If this dusty pearl is truly abandoned and needs a good home I would be interested in purchasing it.
Just let me know when the detective work reveals the answer.
Looking forward to a happy ending-
As the silver Cinderella NSX is finally washed, detailed, and drives away into the sunset... :biggrin:

Was there still furniture and property in that house??
