Would make an interesting wall hanging as a piece of art. And it’s the right color...
That was actually going to be my follow-up point - a fender or grill that is distinctive would be a great wall hanging - the only value in this would be to conduct a "scared straight" demonstration for teenage drivers: "This is all that will left of you and your car if you don't pay attention - blood flows red on the highway!!!"
1983 cimmaron? Chevy-built Cadillac's aside - Monte Carlo Blue Pearl NSX?
BINGO!

Long story short, I had a very close relationship with the powers that be with Acura (and Honda headquarters) and asked if they could make two photographs, not prints, for me from one of the NSX brochures. One was just the NSX aluminum skin and the other was of Aryton Senna in his McLaren.
Yay BINGO for me!! I used to be a Honda-Acura guy. I alternate between eurotrash and Japanese. Love the reliability but the cars have no soul. Euro cars are true drivers cars and what they lack in reliability they make up in being.......unreliable.

Man that Senna photo is really awesome, not many follow F1 in the states but I have been a fan for 45 years and Senna is my all time favorite. Saw my first race at Kyalami at age 7, been hooked ever since.

NOT to get overly philosophical, I’ve heard that “knock” about the NSX being without soul and I have to disagree. “Soul” to me refers to a person, not an object. The “knock” about the NSX was that it drove too well and that even my or your grandmother could drive it like...well...Senna. Having driven an NSX twice coast to coast I can safely say that in my opinion, it remains my favorite car of all time. Looks, handling, and comfort; both in the drivers and passenger seat. And I’ve put those and my [two past] NSX’s through many different and exceedingly fast paces. BUT, I get your point.

I think it came from the 1997 NSX brochure and when I saw that Senna photo—and I’ve always loved Senna—and the NSX aluminum “skin” I was lucky enough to have such a close relationship with Acura/Honda that they reached out to the company (I think it had to be in-house) who produces their brochures and had both photographs made for me.
Hey madmax1911: since you love Senna so much, here’s another fantastic photograph featuring Senna—from the Belgium Grand, flat out on“Eau Rouge”—which I had made for me from a friend who worked for some British racing publication whose name I forget. (It was the cover at the time.) Nice to have friends in “high” places.
Great Deal on Ebay! WT????
