Early Honda cars - Z600 and N600

I do not think very many people know that these little Honda cars exist. They were sold at Honda motorcycle dealers. They were the first Honda's imported into the USA. They were powered by a small 2 cylinder engine that had between 31 and 36 horsepower. I was really interested in buying an N600 from a local dealer but he would not part with it. I bet it became scrap.

The Z600 was the more sporty of the two cars. It was a two door coupe while the N600 was the sedan variant. They both had the same engine and were relatively similar besides the body style. They are pretty collectable today.

I found this pair at a junkyard. They were both in very bad shape but probably have parts that people want badly.

First is the Z600.

 

I like the side profile of these cars, They look pretty sporty. Check out the weird flip open window in the back. This cars interior was completely gutted.

These cars also really liked rust. Check out the roof of this beast

Here is picture of the little two cylinder engine. Lots o' Power!!!

Check out this futuristic light console. It in good shape.

Here is the N600 sedan variant.I only took the front shot. I will get a side shot next time I am out and about.

Here is a picture of the interior.

You might be able to save one of these cars but it would be highly unlikely.

The Honda Civic replaced these cars in the United States.
