I was just wondering.
I heard the #1 Build 350Zx was sold a little north of $70K at an auction.

-SS2K

 

i hear the type-r's #0001 are all in the Honda Musuem. Maybe the S2000, being their anniversary car and all, is also there.

 

Well I have #269.
I'd sell it for some serious coin. Otherwise its mine for a long time.
I've had it now for over three years. Past the warranty. But I did buy the extended.
Still only 23.5k miles.
Unforuntely its in storage for the Green Bay winter.
Probably not the smartest spent money, for how much I paid. But a great car.

I'm quite sure Honda owns it.

 

hrmm...anyone w/ a low # car keeping it as a collectible?

I know a guys with an ITR #0040 that just keeps it in storage w/ 23k or so original miles. He's planning on keeping it there 30+ years. Good investment? Or waste of money?

 

Waste of money. My vehicle is #81 - built June '99 and a friend on thius board (JMC) owns #52 but it sure ain't gonna appreciate in value just because it's a low VIN.

 

I have No. 0002 of the 2001 model year. Spa Yellow.

The numbers are different for each country or region anyways so there are several of each number for each model year. I would think keeping that ITR in storage will be a big waste of money compared to what he could be doing by investing that money. No way a fast, import hatchback will appreciate that much, it it does at all, in 30 years.

 

I don't think this particular car with appreciate because of a low production number. C'mon guys, this is a superb machine no doubt, but it doesn't have the pedigree to command a difference in price based on order of appearance.
If the NSX can't pull it off we have no chance.
