97NSXer Thanks for all your work on keeping track of these cars. I noticed that 244 Orange came up for sale but on the Type S tracker, vin 244 is yellow.
First 2024 update: Still looking for build information for the RHD cars exported to Japan. This 2023 update adds some additions and a couple of correction. For example, a 130R White was determined to be a Gotham Gray Matte paint option. More...

So maybe we have one less Indy yellow and one more Thermal orange on the total cars produced.
@red-nsx, thanks for finding and posting the listing. All indication points to a bad VIN in the listing. This has happened many times before. If you look at all the pictures on the dealer's website, the last one is of the window sticker (see below). It's hard to read but there are two values most important to identifying the car, one is the Dealer name, who ordered the car, and two the actual VIN. (Credit for the photo goes to Motorpoint Roswell where the car is listed.) If you zoom in on the lower left, its fuzzy, but you can see the last 3 digits of the VIN is definitely not 244. It hard to see but it does indicate 17...something. It looks like a 3 but who knows, it could be an 8 or 5. Let's look at the ordering dealer, its clearly Grieco Acura. Good news. Grieco Acura got only one allocation. Yep, its car #173 and not surprisingly its Thermal Orange Pearl as again listed on the window sticker. It corresponds to the tracker. Now that is solved, what is car number 244? See next post.
But since I am here, let's post the montage for car #173, 19UNC1B04NY000173. A while ago, I found a video by Nouan Phasouk@nouanphasouk7109 and created some still shots showing #173 at the dealership when it was first sold (note license dealer ad plate). Not the best pictures, however, but it was a start. I've added a couple of the pics from the listing to round it out. Options wise, #173 was built not only with the flaming orange paint job but with the matching orange calipers and the light-weight package, Orchid seat option, Berlina Gloss Black wheels and the technology package with the XM radio. The MSRP is $187,495. The interior shot confirms the Alcantara instrument hoodie. This car at the time of the listing has traveled a whopping 339 miles.
One last point made by
@docjohn, this could be an error by the dealership either listing the wrong picture or the wrong VIN. If the window sticker is for the car listed than the VIN is absolutely wrong. However, if they do have #244 for sale, then the pictures are wrong. Who knows but with the window sticker and the previously captured stills, car #173 has definitely been confirmed. Now....what about #244? Read on.
