Zanardi went bid-less on cars.com!

Taken from an article in my local paper, The Post Crescent.


"On the block - 1999 Acura NSX, Alex Zanardi edition, not sold: If you missed out on one of the 50 special edition, all-aluminum Acura NSX's sold back in 1999, fear not as they sometimes come up for resale.

Most have very low miles (this example has 38,000 showing) and a reasonable price tag considering the vehicle's uniqueness: It's named after open-wheel racing champion Alex Zanardi.

It's also about 150-pounds lighter than a 'normal' NSX and it comes with special BBS-brand wheels.

Finally, it has a fixed roof (there were no targa-roof Zanardi cars) and some interior decoration.

There were no bids on this auction, but the seller would have taken $44,700."






Looks like you buyers let one slip away!

A lot of the Zanardis have accident histories...

Ya, I'd have to go with Ken...for $44,700, that car has to have some sort of history.

 

[NSX 3.0]

This one.

Without a VIN, we won't know??? Looks kosher in the pic.

I would bet $100 this is Zanardi #8.

This car sucks!!!!!!! I drove it, looked at it, and checked it out from top to bottom. $44k is too much for this car.

What specifically was wrong with the car?? Just saying it 'sucks' leaves some room....please advise on what you noticed. Thanks!

According to this it is incorrect if one considers that:
#1- a 1991-1992 is also a "normal" NSX
#2- a Zanardi is only 54 lighter than a 1991-1992
#3- the "150" figure is actually a round-up of the press material's figure of 149 lbs (as in 149 lbs lighter than a NSX-T)
