Selling Flipper: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/flipper-the-nx2000-that-wont-die/196710/page1/

Got it listed on FB but would think I'd be happier selling him to a GRM'er. Shoot me an offer, bring a trailer and a jump pack lol

He's been rolled over, on fire, been through a few motors, and apparently a pizza delivery vehicle? There is not a single straight panel on this vehicle but he still keeps on kickin'.

When I say that a good chunk of a car's value is its story, this is what I mean.

That anecdote makes the car way more interesting IMO.

Oddly, I have a fender from an NX2000 that rolled hanging in my garage.

Good thing flipper wasn't a T-Top car like many of them were.  I had one years ago and they're hard to find now.  I'm watching for one that is a little more street friendly and a little less track rat to have fun in again someday.

Yes, so many T-top cars out there–well, back when they were new. Been a minute since I have seen an NX2000/NX1600 in the flesh.

I remember loving these back in the 90s. Almost bought one, but ended up with a Civic instead.  I have to wonder though, what makes them tippy?  Is there something about the suspension geometry or is it more of a matter of sticky tires plus the nut behind the wheel?
