Maintenance Information
All maintenance is up to date. The car needs absolutely nothing as per the mechanic, most trusted of the trusted that I know! Chris Wayland.
Details
This car started in Denver Colorado and was with the original owner until 2002 when the second owner took over at about 34k miles. The second owner was an older gentleman. Both owners took the car to Flatirons Acura where Chris Wayland is the NSX Tech and one of the top in the country. But I may go back and ask Chris about the owners because the Carfax makes it look like I'm the second owner.
The second owner had the car until 2009 when he passed away. The car went to his family and sat for seven years. When I first saw the car in the summer of 2016, Chris said that the last time he saw the car was in 2009 and that in the 7 years between, the car had gone all of 300 miles. This made me really, really, deeply sad. When I saw the car the first time Chris had opened up some of the internal panels to figure out the issues and it just looked sad, the tires were dry rotted, the car was dusty and dirty, it was awful. I immediately tried to buy the car. After a month I finally got hold of the owner and spoke with him on a Wednesday night and had the car in my garage the next morning.
His son was the one selling the car and no one in the family was interested in it but it seemed that they weren't ready to sell the car when the father passed away. Some time went by and then all of a sudden it was 7 years later....
Maybe that isn't terribly important but to me, the story of a car matters.
As seen on the carfax, some work was done by the previous owner to get the car back in shape and when I purchased the car I told Chris to do whatever it needed so it would be perfect again. I have all the receipts. Of course things like TB/WP and valve adjust were addressed.
The only modification is the S2k antenna which was done by one of the previous owners.
The interior is in great shape, bolster wear isn't visible. Everything works, no crackles. There are no issues.
I had the paint corrected, had the hood clear bra replaced and had the entire car ceramic coated with one layer of ceramic glass. The car looks ridiculously good in person, and in pictures.
I uploaded some pictures but as they were taken by a photographer, the image size is large. I can share the link with high-res images with anyone who is interested.
Of course I have the spare wheel, bracket etc. I also have the original wheels with new (1 year old) tires on them. The original wheels are in good condition but show their age a bit.
Also - I spent some time going over the car to see what I could note as far as imperfections.
1. There is a small mark on the leather by the gas flap release, it may be visible in one of the pictures but I'm not sure.
2. I had the clear bra replaced on the hood but I did not pull it off the front bumper or mirrors. Pulling the clear bra from the front bumper and mirrors etc, then having them paint corrected and new clear bra applied would likely be an improvement though I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with the current situation.
These are the two things I could find, the rest is as it should be but I wanted to put it out there.
Thanks
I have extensive receipts for all the work that has been done. Everything is up to date and all major maintenance was done within the past year.
Lastly - I'm posting the car here first, but I will add other listing sites in the following days.
