Very Cool In My Book

[RotorNutFD3S]

There is a guy at work that owns the car, unfortunately I have never gotten the chance to talk to him, but it's pretty cool to see a car that's this old, still running, and in decent shape. Much less smaller than a Mini and on 10" wheels.

Awww... it's teeny!


I dream of owning an old Fiat 500 one day. I adore tiny cars.

K24 swap candidate if ever I saw one!

[RotorNutFD3S]

I do want to see under the hood...
And the guy that drives it must be about 220-250 lbs and almost 5'10". He's not a small guy.

That thing is sweet. time for tires though. I wander if you can even find 10"s anymore. A buddy of mine just had to put tires on his festiva, they were 12", took forever to find them.

Cool. I'm a big fan of the small classics, especially the mini cooper. I will have one at some point.

[Roadster]

Needs a B16. Aren't those things two-cylinders?

[MoD_Scotty]

That's awesome. What model is it? A buddy of mine in the Air Force had a really cool Honda 600. It looked a lot like an old school Mini. The engine in that thing was ridiculously tiny.

[metalman]

I think you will find that might have either a 500 or 600 cc 4 cyl.
My brother worked at the dealer when those came out. I remember the first time
I saw one, umm...I was slightly younger at the time. :lol:

[RotorNutFD3S]

Hmmm... yeah, you just carbon dated yourself... :P

[deerock]

:jawdrop: i want! that thing is amazing!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

That's very cool. I wonder what kind of mileage it gets.

[Doppelgänger]

Does it have VTECH ??:wtf:

[MeFryRice]

I saw that the other day. It looks to be in pretty good shape!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Does it have VTECH ??:wtf:


He may have a cordless phone in there, but I don't see the point. :P

I'm thinking that is a Z600 2 cylinder air cooled

"What is a Honda Z600

The sporty Z600 coupe was introduced in the US in 1971 with a total production of 40,586 sedans and coupes were sold here. Approximately less than 2-1/2% remain today of that number of which most were sedans.

The 2door Z600 hatchback originally had a 345cc engine in the Japanese market, a more robust 599cc engine was squeezed in for the European markets. It came in basic colors of primarily orange, yellow, olive green and blue. The power plant was a Air-cooled, two cylinder SOHC aluminum engine, this gas miser came through during the oil crisis of the 70’s giving the owners a excellent fuel efficient car, it was rated to get approximately 40mpg while it only held 6.9 gallons of gas.

The Honda Z600 was built on a 123in x 51in chassis and approximately 51in high with a Curb weight of 1312lbs. Given it’s small size it was found to still give reasonable comfort to the driver and front passenger. The back seat would be described as storage only because of the little wiggle room in the back. This car had some interesting advances like retractable seat belts and a in dash seat belt warning system, front wheel drive and power assist brakes. "


Very cool and looks to be in nice shape too, I might be able to source some tires for the guy if you ever speak with him

[BFH miata]

or you could turn it into this hayabusa powered carbon fiber monster that was in GRM a month or two ago...

Wow, when the car looks tiny next to an Asian chick, that really puts things in perspective.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Where's the Asian chick? :lol:

[Roadster]

Next to the car? Pudgy one.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

she looks more white to me

[Roadster]

Very flat face and asian looking hair, but whatever. Lol.

Let's compare to the 5' Puerto Rican standing next to her instead.

[silver280zx]

Theres a Z600 just like the one in the first post, sitting covered at Phil Hughes Honda in Athens, around the side of the building. I want it so bad.

[RotorNutFD3S]

For size comparison, here it is next to a Millenia:
