Yahoo Autos 1992 Acura NSX Barn Find Emerges with Only 2,000 Miles on the Clock
Somewhere in Pennsylvania, an Acura fan bought a new black NSX from a local dealership in 1991. When the owner brought the car back around to the dealership to be serviced, one of the service technicians reportedly decided to take it for a joy ride under the guise of a “test drive.” A wreck ensued, causing extensive damage to the car.
After battling back and forth with the dealer to get his car fixed, the dealership opted to replace the 1991 model with a white 1992 NSX. When he called his insurance company to add the new car to his policy, the agent mentioned that the NSX was becoming a rare model and the price would start to increase. The owner opted to cancel the insurance, instead covering it and parking it in a barn, where it has slept comfortably until very recently with only 2,002 miles showing on the odometer.
Now up for sale, the NSX is ready for a new caretaker. The owner is moving and liquidating all of his assets, enlisting the help of family friend Joe Feller to broker the sale of the car.
“The owner took me on a tour of his garage a few years ago and I saw there was a car under a cover,” Feller told Road & Track. “I asked what it was and he said it was an Acura NSX. Years went by and I recently told him what they are worth, so he trusted me to be his consultant and get the car on the internet.”
The white exterior is covered in a three-decade layer of dust and the interior shows signs of mold, but Feller says the NSX has been stored in a heated garage and it’s in remarkably good condition. It’s scheduled for a thorough detailing by AMMO NYC in the near future. The engine could face some extensive reworking, but the exterior is undamaged; the owner would not even let people see or get near the car while in storage.
Still wearing its original Yokohama tires, the NSX is an absolute time capsule.
“He kept a copy of the dealer package [paperwork and brochures] from the first car and the dealer package from the second car isn't even opened,” Feller says. “He kept a lot of other knickknacks that was gifted to him back in the day [that will be sold with the car.]”
Feller and the owner haven’t yet determined the sales platform or if he will broker the deal privately, but they’re expecting to generate a six-figure deal. Currently, the information and more photos are posted on the Honda NSX Lovers Facebook group.
