Default Showcase ITR at Acura dealership

I was at an Acura dealership up in Mass today. Found a hidden gem in their showroom! It's the owner's son's car or was, and is not for sale. Apparently he raced the car and blew the engine but has since been replaced. Car was originally Phoenix Yellow the dealer claims and the front end conversion was done by a body shop.




No number?






Thought it was pretty cool.

There is a Canadian transport badge above the VIN in the door aswell

I can't tell - is there a caR # on the armrest badge!?

If so, the ITR registry could be searched...

Not clean at all. Engine replaced. Front end conversion. No badge #. Weird bumper. Color change. Even if it were a real R it's not a showcase piece.

That car is a mish-mash of crap. Funny that it was on the showroom, though.

It's actually a good thing that it's not for sale.
