15k-Mile 1991 Acura NSX 5-Speed

OVERVIEW

This 1991 Acura NSX mid-engined sports car was initially delivered to Pompano Beach Imports in Florida and has covered 15,900 miles since new. It is powered by an unmodified 3.0-liter V6 with VTEC variable valve timing mated to a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Service includes a timing belt replacement at an Acura dealer within the past year. Finished in Formula Red over a black leather interior, this first-year NSX is now offered with service records, a window sticker, owner’s booklets, a CARFAX report, and a clear title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The factory-applied Formula Red (code R77) paint coats the aluminum body panels with the exception of the contrasting gloss black roof. In 2003, the front bumper cover was replaced under prior ownership. Exterior features include retractable projector beam headlights, vented rear fenders, a rear window defroster, an integrated spoiler with an LED brake lamp, and dual chrome exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

The 15-inch front and 16-inch rear forged aluminum five-spoke wheels are wrapped in BFGoodrich tires that were installed in 2008.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The two-seat cockpit is fitted with black leather power-adjustable bucket seats, matched to the door panels, dash, and carpeting. Amenities include power windows, power door locks, cruise control, a Bose audio system, automatic climate control, a driver-side airbag, a tilt and telescoping steering column, rack-and-pinion steering, and power mirrors. A compact spare tire is stored in the front compartment.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation consists of a 188-mph speedometer, a 9,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and voltage. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 15,900 miles, which aligns with the most recent mileage of 15,841 recorded on the CARFAX report in October 2022.  

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The unmodified mid-mounted 3.0-liter DOHC V6 features VTEC variable valve timing and was rated at 270 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque when new. A major service was performed in October 2022 at Don Jenkins Acura in Ocala, Florida, and included the replacement of the timing belt and transmission fluid. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The brake fluid was replaced in October 2022 during the aforementioned dealer service. Chassis underpinnings consist of a forged aluminum double-wishbone suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars and gas shock absorbers.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report begins in April 1991 and shows ownership in Florida through 2000, followed by Tennessee, and Florida again starting in 2020. A damage report was filed in late 2003 involving damage to the front of the vehicle. According to the seller, this was related to road debris damage under prior ownership; the bumper was subsequently replaced and refinished. The sale includes service records, owner’s booklets, and a window sticker showing an original retail price of $61,600.
