"Cruisin Classics is proud to share with you today this very rare and insanely cool 1997 Acura NSX-T with only 39,388 ACTUAL MILES! These miles are backed up by a clean Carfax and an actual mileage title, not to mention the impeccable condition of the car itself. This was the seventh model year for the NSX, and it was the pinnacle of Honda's engineering and design prowess at the time. This is the world's first mass-produced car to feature an all-aluminum body. This particular car was one of only four produced in '97 with a Formula Red body, Onyx interior, and an automatic transmission! This NSX comes to us dressed in what appears to be its original coat of Formula Red paint that still looks slick and glossy. The body styling is still as breathtaking today as it was back in '97, with a low-slung front nose, forward cockpit, elongated rear window that covers the mid-engine powerplant, and a full trunk topped with an integrated spoiler. 1997 was the first year that Acura produced the NSX with a removable targa top (hence the ""T"" in the name), and this one is painted body-color. Up front, you'll find flip-up headlights, a small Acura logo badge on the nose-cone, a black chin spoiler, and a small front trunk (""frunk"") that offers no storage but is home to a compact spare tire, radiator, and headlight mechanicals. The sides of the NSX feature color-keyed side mirrors, unique door handles, discreet ""NSX"" badges on the doors, and deep air vents just behind the doors to help the engine breathe. At the rear are dual chrome exhaust tips, a thin LED third brake light that runs the width of the aforementioned spoiler, and a working power antenna. This incredible machine rolls down the road on factory forged aluminum alloy 7-spoke wheels (16"" in front, 17"" in the rear) wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact tires (new in 2021).
When you lift the curved rear window, you'll see that there is actually a flat window that separates the cockpit from this area � and with good reason, because underneath a lift-up cover is the engine bay! The engine bay is home to an all-aluminum 3.0-liter DOHC V-6, which features Honda's VTEC system (variable valve timing and lift electronic control). The entire engine and its surroundings are immaculately clean and bone-stock. The 252 hp V-6 is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission that puts down the power via a limited-slip rear differential with traction control. This drivetrain, combined with a lightweight car, a mid-engine layout, and a double wishbone suspension, is a driver's dream! We have an invoice from 2021 showing that the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump were all replaced (along with a thermostat and plugs) - a rather costly but necessary maintenance item for these cars that has already been done for you! In addition to the timing belt service, a new catalytic converter was added in 2023.
Swing open the driver's door, and you're greeted by a stunning Onyx leather interior with a cockpit feel to it. The door panels are a stylish mixture of leather and vinyl, and the driver's door has controls for power windows, locks, and mirrors. The power-adjustable leather bucket seats are in very good condition (save for some light bolster wear on the driver's seat), and they're incredibly comfortable. Between the seats is a center console that follows a straight, angular rise up to the dash and actually seems to ""become"" the dash � a very cool design that adds to the cockpit feel of the interior. On the console/dash is an armrest/storage box, a leather-wrapped shifter for the 4-speed automatic, an incredible AM/FM/Cassette sound system by Bose with a remote 6-disc CD changer in the trunk, and an automatic climate control system that offers cold AC and hot heat on demand. Ahead of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel with airbag and cruise controls that's mounted to a tilt and telescopic column. The stock gauges all work as they should, and there is a tachometer with a 7,500 rpm redline and a 180mph speedometer. The black carpet is in flawless condition and is kept that way with carpeted factory floor mats with red ""NSX"" stitching that really pops in the all-black interior. Overhead are map lights and the easily removable targa top. Ahead of the passenger in the glovebox, you'll find the original owner's manual and a stack of service receipts from the last five or so years. Back in the trunk is the 6-disc CD changer, a CoverKing car cover, and under the floor panel is the factory jack, tools, and air pump. This NSX also comes with 3 standard keys and a valet key.
These NSXs are quite rare and highly coveted by collectors these days, and this particular car is an exceptional low-mileage example! If you're looking for a red with black interior automatic from '97, this is one of only 4 examples made (from a total of only 338 NSXs that year). Making it even cooler is the fact that this car was the 22nd off the assembly line in '97! Give us a call today and be the lucky one who gets to put it in their garage!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.

Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
