Every once in a while I do a Craigslist Search for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! because I get bored at work. I look for my future project car.

Does anyone want what I kind of see as a Japanese Mini, improved?

Looks mostly complete and in OK shape. Price is a little high, but not totally out of line. Occasionally you see really good examples go for under $7k.

Fun fact: I almost bought that light blue N600 that occasionally pops up in Dallas ( last time was on BaT ). Drove 300 miles, cash in hand, to take a look and it ended up being a kind of crap restoration so I bailed and got drunk instead.

Most parts are still available, but some some, like oil filters, are worrying. These take a replaceable paper element oil filter that is sort of unusual. Last I checked most people were selling NOS units, which led me to believe no one was making them new. (This was several years and drinks ago, so my memory may not be 100%)

That said they’re adorable and you should buy one and then post pictures of it daily.

My father in law has a Z600 in a barn. He got it as payment for installing carpet when some one couldn’t pay. We haven’t even thrown a battery on it because I’ve looking at part prices and unlike Mini parts these Honda 600 parts are stupid expensive, I’m scared to start working on it because I don’t want to fall in love with another money pit.

I do something similar, but I set the year to 1992 or earlier, because then that includes all of the fine examples of quirky 80s cars that may not need as much TLC to be clean and road-worthy.

I had a Z600 and loved that car. Tiny, but surprisingly capable.
