This pristine 1972 Honda Z600 coupe is proudly offered for sale at Classic Cars West in Oakland California. A rare opportunity to own a very tidy example of Honda's kei class car originally sold in Japan to meet displacement requirements under the vehicle tax codes of the day.

an air-cooled two cylinder 600CC (36CI) engine mated to a four speed manual transmission this adorably cute car has great pep for the city. Weighing just 1300LB and measuring 123 inches the Z600 is the perfect car for having style in the city. Freeway travel is not an issue if you're happy in the right lanes with the Z having a top speed of about 65MPH.

This particular example has been treated to an exacting restoration by the second owner and has been thoroughly gone through to be both mechanically excellent and aesthetically very pleasing. Elite Performance Northern California's premier Z specialist decided the engine did not require a full rebuild instead opting to adjust the valves breaker points recap the spark plugs transmission gaskets instal a custom shut mounts axel seals ignition timing adjustment all suspension components and running gear replaced and a custom X-formation Flowmaster twin pipe stainless exhaust system. This is consistent with the original owner's claim that the 18214 mileage is original. Instruments were upgraded to include temperature volts and oil pressure. All replaced hardware in stainless. Brakes completely gone through with new hardware. Car sits on very nice Minilite mags with under 500 miles on new rubber.

The car was completely stripped down and repined inside and out by Sunny Auto Body. This included all chrome and brightwork being reconditioned or replaced and is all in excellent condition. Austin Healey mirror kit included wing and rear view mirrors. Custom front lip. All weather stripping was replaced alone with front and rear windshield gaskets. Interior reupholstery work by Enrique upholstery complete with headliner door inserts and carpet and is in brilliant shape. Interior is also in great shape with the slightest cracking evident in the dash. Everything works when tested. Custom higher end Alpine sound system. Earlier this year a comparable Z600 coupe passed the Barrett Jackson block selling for $27500 making this likely the last time a high end Z600 will be affordable or even available.

Recent receipts for around $20000 come with the car along with manuals documentation from the restoration extra parts etc.
