Honda NSX abandoned and left submerged in a river for FIFTEEN YEARS sells for a small fortune
AN HONDA NSX, abandoned and submerged in a river for fifteen years, was sold for a fortune.
The car was found in 2019 in Yadkin River in North Carolina during an unrelated missing person investigation.
The Honda – with 32,000 miles on the odometer – was stolen in 2003 and dumped in the river, The Drive reports.
For the past four years, the car was owned by a towing company before a salvage company purchased it – and has now shared some images of the Honda.
And the photographs intrigued a Honda NSX expert from the state of Maryland – who bought the car for approximately £7,000.
These pictures published on Facebook showed the car full of dirt; however, the car’s buyer, Jay said to The Drive: “We’re going to try to either restore it or build a fun shop car we take to the track.
Jay’s shop has done many NSX builds and has saved another salvage model before.
Shockingly, Jay doesn’t know much about the car’s condition because she bought it without seeing it in person.
The body panels are intact, but the condition of the drivetrain is unknown.
However, other items like the A-pillars have been damaged during the car’s time at the towing company.
For the 1991 model year, a total of 1940 NSX examples were produced in the US for £50,955 each.
These cars are powered by a 3.0-litre V6 engine, with a 1351kg kerb weight.
This comes after explorers stumble across a long-forgotten car graveyard abandoned in the woods with classic Fords and Volvos.
And an urban explorer discovered a creepy car graveyard where dozens of vintage Fords were left to rot for decades.
