Cool Z600 Coupe in POP Orange. 50k miles restored collectible by DRIVEN.co

Thanks for stopping by to view our listing for a very cool Honda Z600 Coupe. These Z600 Coupes represented the beginning of the Japanese hot hatch and JDM movement in the US. Developed from Motorcycle roots, the Air Cooled 2 cylinder with an 8000 RPM Tach moves this super lightweight along at a reasonably fast clip. These cars were originally sold in Honda motorcycle dealerships alongside their 2 wheeled cousins because there were no Honda auto dealers in existence.

We figure those Helpful Honda guys and gals were but a twinkle in their parents eyes way back in 72! Wouldn't it be great to see this cool little gem in your Helpful Honda Dealer showroom? We will Donate $500 to your favorite charity if you help us sell to a Helpful Honda Dealer! Sell, not give.

Rarity

Few and far between in 2019, many of these cars were delivered to the eastern US where rust took its toll. Noted Honda 600 authority Tim Mings got a look at this car and said that the low 53k mileage looked accurate due to the minimal wear on the interior. Tim said that these cars typically made it to the 50,000 mile mark, spit a part and then sat. That was exactly the case with our car.

Exterior.

Fresh two stage respray in Factory matched Pop Orange has been color sanded, polished and buffed to a high sheen. The car was disassembled and painted inside and out. The paint work was completed in the correct fashion, with all of the interior and glass removed. This is not to be confused with the inexpensive method but superior results require superior effort. Chrome is freshly replated and excellent.

Inspection

Please come inspect this great Honda before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional. Please keep in mind that this is a 47 year old used car. It will need periodic attention just as any classic automobile does. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that's what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something boring. Like a Prius.
