I am downsizing my collection and proudly offer my fun little 1972 Honda Z600 Coupe (Note: According to Tim Ming, it is a rarer 1971. The Alaska DMV has it as a 1972. I have spent the last 5 month working with Honda USA, to try and find out the real scoop, but they have no pre-Civic records, so it will stay a 1972 officially. I like to think of it as a transition car: a lowVIN serial number --2286 -- with all the markers of the 71, sold in 1972. Tim also said my paint guy re-mounted the rear bumper over riders upside down, so I have put them back right side up)
My niece and I used itin a parade this summer as the villain car to the Subaru 360 Mystery Machine you see in the background of some of the pictures, it was great fun!
The last picture is what it looked like when I picked it up. (To quote JOE VS THE VOLCANO: "Wow, what a change...")
The two-door Honda Z600 was a Kei Car designed and built by Honda and sold from 1970 to 1972, before the introduction of the Civic in 1973.
Marketed as the "sport coupe" version of the N600 "sedan", the two models were sold side by side at American motorcycle dealerships until the first standalone dealers opened with the Civic on their lots. Total production was 40,586 units.
The Z600 has power brakes, 4 wheel independent suspension and rack and pinion steering.
This Z600 runs and drives great smooth. It’s registered through November 2018.
