Acura is selling the one-off NSX Roadster concept that Robert Downey Jr. drove as Tony Stark in the closing scene of Marvel's The Avengers (2012). It's a no-reserve auction, live now on Cars & Bids, and 100% of the winning bid goes to charity. As of Oct 18, 2026, 10:18 AM ET, the current bid is $77,777 after 7 bids.

What it is

Acura's LA design studio styled the roadster to preview the second-generation NSX. Trans FX in Oxnard, California, then hand-built a resin and fiberglass roadster body over a 1991 first-generation NSX.

Under that body it's still the donor car. The odometer shows about 252,000 miles, and it keeps the 3.0-liter V6 and 5-speed manual, so it actually drives. It wears the screen-used "STARK 33" plate.

The catch

It's a movie prop with no VIN, sold on a bill of sale. It can't be titled, registered or driven on public roads, and the sale is subject to an Acura usage agreement. The car is in Torrance, California.

Where the bidding stands

  • Current bid: $77,777 with 7 bids, as of Oct 18, 2026, 10:18 AM ET. This is a live auction, so the number will change.
  • Ends: Saturday, Oct 31, 2026, 5:00 PM ET.
  • Reserve: none.
  • Buyer's fee: American Honda will reimburse the winner's Cars & Bids buyer's fee.
  • Proceeds: 100% of the winning bid goes to charity.

A street-legal NSX it isn't. What's for sale is a piece of Marvel and Acura history that still runs. Would you bid on a car you can only drive off the road?
