Acura NSX spent 15 years in the river

Recently, an incredible story was published on Facebook about a car that spent many years under water, and now it will get a second chance. It is an Acura NSX that looks like it came from an apocalyptic movie, and it was bought for $8,500. It could be an exciting project for a new owner.

The story goes that the car was allegedly stolen and under unknown circumstances ended up in the Yadkin River in North Carolina in the early 2000s. No one knew about it until 2019, when a search for missing persons was launched, and the car was accidentally spotted. It was pulled out of the river, and now awaits a better life.

The restoration of the car will be done by Helix Auto Works, Maryland, which has a very demanding task ahead of it. 15 years under water is not a short period of time, so the damage to the car is quite large. Still, Helix Auto Works hopes to bring the NSX back to life.

The company has set two goals, the first is to make the car road legal, but if they fail to do so, the only option left is to prepare it for use on the track.

What will happen in the end doesn’t even matter, because every car deserves a second chance.
