Nope, different one but 15K cheaper. Outwardly the Autotrader one might look like a scam but it passes initial examination without dropping the BS alarm.

FWIW I will be in Hilliard next weekend if anyone wants a PPI. I might just buy it myself if I'm going there just for me. I don't think it as hideous as some here do- epsecially with the top down I kinda dig that look- and I see no reason why Neal should have two if I don't. :biggrin:

I think that I remember seeing old posts here on Prime that speculated that the Zanardi would have about the same value as a same gen coupe. Maybe these chopped won't fare so well. Wasn't that Juice's old convertible, both in C-Bus?

I also found an interesting wiki on "coach convertibles":

And the manufacturer:

Prime FAQ says 20-25 per year from 1991 as of 1995. Probably much fewer after the targa:

One of the best strength/attributes NSX has is its rigidity. I had a 1997 NSX-T and I swore I would never buy another T again. The rigidity is what makes the coupe such joy to own. The coupe feels solid with substance and yet agile. The T is a fun car but it did not give me that high-quality-product feeling. Even the factory could not pull off a satisfactory chassis with the T in my book. An aftermarket butchered NSX is as good as junk, IMO. Don't get me wrong though since I love convertibles. However, I doubt any small shop would have the knowledge or resources to properly convert one. $0.02
