This NSX is only one of the 55 examples that were given a Formula Red (R-77) finish for the 1998 model year with a matching removable roof panel. The example has pop-up headlights and an integrated rear wing. It was also given 16- and 17-inch wheels with Kumho Ecsta XS tires, with the front tires measuring 215/45 while the rear measures 245/40. There is some curb rash on the wheels, with the tires have a mix of 2015 and 2013 date codes.

The dashboard features a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer with 8k rpm redline, speedometer, and gauges for fuel, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. The mechanical speedometer shows 21k miles with roughly 50 miles added by the selling dealer.

Under the hood is a 3.2-liter C23B V6 that uses VTEC variable valve timing matched to a six-speed manual transaxle with a Torsen limited-slip differential that gives power to the rear wheels. The NSX is factory rated at 290 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque.

As of writing the 1998 Acura NSX-T has a bid of $98,000 with the bidding ending in less than 19 hours.

You Can Own Paul Walker’s 1980 BMW M1

Every car fanatic is aware of the incredible car collection of the late Paul Walker. Since Paul’s passing, we’ve seen cars from his collection changings hands via online auctions, and this is one of the best to date. 

This exact 1980 BMW M1 was in a collection owned by Paul Walker and Roger Rodas before going to the current owner in 2014. Right now you can find the auction listing for this amazing M1 on Bring A Trailer’s website. 

This BMW M1 received modifications in the early ’80s by an authorized BMW dealer, AHG. These goodies consisted of a Procar-style body kit, a custom BMW Motorsport colorway, and some awesome 16-inch BBS wheels.

Modifications also lead to the 3.5liter inline-six putting down about 350 brake-horsepower along with a custom exhaust system, you can almost hear it by looking at the photos.

The current owner of the M1 put just 50 miles on it in 7 years of ownership, our hats are off, the self-control involved would be insane. The odometer reads exactly 6,800 kilometers (4,225 miles) which is extremely low for a car in its 41st year. Would it surprise you if it went for over a million dollars?
