IIRC it was in NY but I'm not sure.

 

Remember, there are four #001's in the United States, one for each model year.

 

Yeah, true but I think he's looking for "the" number one. The 001 97 ITR. But your right, each year had it's own 001.

 

Someone just rebuilt 01-001 I'm pretty sure.

I thought 97-002 was sold in New York and wrecked shortly after.

 

Maybe andyt still has the Carfaxes of the lowest VIN for each year (which may or may not be #001)...

 

The first ITR was the 1997 model with VIN sequence #2516.
(I believe this might actually be badge #002 however).
It had 2 owners in New York, and had a Severe Accident/Total Loss record.

The last ITR was the 2001 PY model with VIN sequence #3625.
It has had three owners in Puerto Rico.

 

Would be cool to see a pic of them, but there now non-existent.

 

yeah my buddy just rebuilt 01 #0001 py

If its #01-0001 for sure, couldn't he order a new armrest w/ plaque from the dealer and have it engraved? for rebuilding

 

I thought 0001 (1997) went to realtime?

There's been threads about this in the past...

Chris I think you're right... I remember reading about this topic before...

 

do you think 97-0001 is like in a museum somwhere?

Uhh, no. I thought Realtime got the first 97. Anyway, 97 was the first year for the ITR here. Not really that special. Plus, I don't think any car museums here care about Japanese cars really. Its possible the very first ITR is in a Honda museum in Japan but Im not for sure.

Maybe one of our fellow ITR people who have visited Japan can give us some insight.

You also have to think that just because the badge number is 1 it might have not been the first ITR produced for that year. There is rumor the badges were just pulled out of a pile of badges and slapped on. I don't think anybody really knows for sure.

 

i remember reading somewhere about #1 (not sure which year)...some dealer had it and held onto it for a long time. not sure what they did to it after that. i'm curious to find out more info. good thread.

Yeah, buy the armrest and blank plaque from the dealer. Trophy shop would be my first choice, maybe jewelry shop. Try to get a large closeup picture of a real plaque so the engraver can match the font. Good luck!

No offense, but what he says is true. If no one has the original badge, nothing can be proved.
