Tony Stark’s garage just got a little more accessible. The Acura NSX Roadster from Marvel’s The Avengers is up for auction on Cars & Bids, and bidding has already climbed to $98,500 after three days. Every dollar goes to charity, which gives this movie prop a rare dose of respectability on top of the fantasy.
Acura NSX Roadster Goes Hollywood
Underneath the sharp bodywork, this is not a new NSX. It is a 1991 original, reskinned by Trans FX in Oxnard, California, using a design from Acura’s Advanced Design Studio in Los Angeles. Hollywood fabrication makes the car look modern, but the chassis carries three decades of history. According to Acura, the NSX nameplate was built to rival Europe’s best, and this build keeps that spirit alive on screen.
The spec sheet reads like a time capsule. A 3.0-liter V6 produces 270 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. On paper, that is modest by modern standards. Still, collectors pay premiums for analog engagement, the same logic behind Porsche one-off models chasing eight-figure prices.

Where the Auction Money Really Lands
Pricing is the real story here. The current bid sits near $98,500, yet this is a non-road-legal concept, so registration is off the table. Ultimately, charity-backed prop auctions tend to attract emotional buyers rather than spreadsheet investors. Even so, the Roadster’s fame could give it a stronger floor than an ordinary 1991 NSX.
Our Verdict on the Stark Price
Is it worth the money? In reality, the answer depends on how much a buyer values movie memorabilia over driving dynamics. Our estimate lands near $110,000 at the final hammer, though that is speculation. Meanwhile, the car’s real value lies in its story, not its horsepower.
