Wow, too bad! This car has some MAJOR goodies on it. The CTSC, Tecnos, and etc.

Wow, I hate to see this happen to any car, especially a NSX. Do you have the VIN #? I'm sure we'll see it on Ebay with a clean title within a few months!!

wow... hard to believe the airbag didn't go off.

The car does not look like it was hit in the front. Most airbags are designed to go off only in a frontal collision.
All the damage on the drivers side is due to the fire dept. and the jaws of life. I would have to see the car in person, but from the picture there really is not a lot of damage. Its hard to tell if there is damage to the suspension or not. Also was the passengers door ripped off and the door pillar is all torn up or was the door unbolted. For the right price this car could be a moderate rebuild if it were not made from aluminum.
I wonder if the salvage people would be willing to rip out the supercharger and sell it.... I'd buy it.
oh, that is a sad sight. 
anyone know what happened to it? Looks like a tree fell on it.
i'd buy one of the seats: convert it for use in my lounge.
<B>NSX FoYoAss</B> : rofl... yeah, maybe... along with Vanilla Ice / ICE-T / MYNSX photos which everyone uses on eBay.

Ty I havent heard from you in a while, your the only guy I know in Springfield, MO. with a Comptech Supercharged Kaiser NSX. I pray this isnt your car....
looks like a jackie chan stunt car......something huge and round made hard impact with the targa top.....
Looks like Eddie Whitman's old car. If it is, this car has been rebuilt and is currently being driven by someone.

I thought Eddie had a red NSX-T.....what happened to him and his car?

Not too likely since the photos are less than two months old.
It's not listed in either of their next two auctions so it's probably gone already. Might be worth a call to get the VIN.
Edit: Nope, still there and not yet scheduled for auction. They are not willing to give out the VIN until it is scheduled for auction. Apparently they are still waiting on title issues etc.

I just emailed the branch manager at that auction in Springfield. (It helps to be an insurance adjuster.) He gave me the stock number and this link for the car with all the info. The only bad part, is that there is only a partial VIN listed at this time. He wouldn't give me the entire VIN. Sorry guys, I tried.

The VIN on Eddie's old silver 2000 is JH4NA2167YT000166 and this matches the check digit listed by Springfield for the car in question. A few seconds in Excel is all it takes to see that the only other serial numbers that would match that check digit are:
247
149
264
068
281
183
085
So we have a pool of no more than 8 possible serial numbers. How many of those 8 cars are likely to be Silver and have a Comptech supecharger, Tecnomagnesio wheels and an aftermarket stereo like Eddie's old car?
If it is Eddie's old car, I guess it's been seriously totalled again. Here's the thread discussing Eddie's old car the last time it was offered for sale after being rebuilt: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4039

Wow, so it most likely is the same car. Didn't occur to me that it might have been re-totaled. Rough life!
Good work Lud!
Ha, ha, the link to Presitge is still active with a picture of the car and a date of March '03. At that time the price was $62,995. It is also listed in the Previous Inventory section at that price.

I'm not sure that's the reason. Anyone buying the car at auction will do so fully aware of the condition and know all about washing titles, so they aren't fooling anybody. Not that I have a better explanation, but people make up all kinds of rules and policies.
It would be interesting to see what the current CarFax looks like for Eddie's car.
