1972 Honda 600 Z Coupe

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. Those Helpful Honda guys and gals were but a twinkle in their parents eyes way back in 72.


Rarity

Few and far between in 2018, 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.


Time treated this Coupe well. It was garage stored here in temperate Southern California before coming into our hands in 2016. We have documented her return to motoring with photos and video and look forward to seeing the next owner getting to enjoy her. She gets a lot of looks, thumbs ups and plenty of attention. Always a hit at the local show and shine or cars and coffee.


Exterior.

Fresh two stage respray in Factory matched 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.


Wheels, Tires

Restored Factory steel wheels with new 145/10 Falken tires.


Engine

Rebuilt 598cc, 2 cylinder motorcycle engine runs great. New top end. New pistons and rings. Polished head with fresh internals. Rebuilt Carburetor. New timing chain and guide. Detailed engine compartment.


Transmission

4 Speed transmission operates perfectly. Fresh rebuild by "Merciless" Tim Mings. New clutch and pressure plate.


Braking, Steering

Brake systems have been completely gone through and function perfectly. New shocks, pads, shoes, cylinders, brake lines. Calipers and drums serviced. Steering is precise. Detailed underneath.


Battery

New warrantied Interstate Battery


Service

Fresh service including 20/50 Castrol oil change, belts, hoses, spark plugs and fluids. Genuine Honda parts.


Trim

All trim is in excellent condition.


Glass

All glass is in good to excellent condition. New weatherstrips. Windows operate properly. Iconic "Snorkel or Face Mask" rear hatch. If you're familiar with these cars, you'll know they all tend to break the same few things. The plastic gear in the rear hatch lock is most always broken. Ours has been replaced with a metal gear especially designed to replace this weak part. It wont need to be replaced again.


Interior

Original interior is in excellent condition. Nice dash, door and quarter panels. Nice headliner and overhead console. New carpet. Small spot on the driver seat. See the photos.


Odometer

The odometer shows 53500 miles and operates properly. The documentation and local expert opinion confirm the mileage as accurate.


DMV

The California title is clear and all documentation is included. No back fees are due. No smog is required for California residents. Very low cost Antique registration for most US States.


Documentation

A thick build book with extensive documentation is included. There are detailed photos of the restoration work, documentation and receipts.


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 46 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 new. Like a Prius.
