1972 HONDA AN600 SEDAN Excellent condition, absolutely no rust, never seen snow, an original car (except steering wheel and removeable roll bar). I purchased this car from a guy in Wisconsin who was a certified Honda technician. Over the years, he had owned 12 of these cars and when I bought this car, he had recently rebuilt the motor. I've put approximately 500-600 miles on the car since then, mostly to local car shows and around the neighborhood. It looks and runs superb! Believe me, it draws a lot of attention, not to mention the phenomenal gas mileage (45+ mpg). If you're looking for an original rust free collector, which needs nothing, this is the car for you! Lots of extra parts including: dash, glass, and extra engine and electrical parts. You will not be disappointed! The Honda 600 was the first "mass market" car sold by Honda.The N600 sedan was introduced to the US market in 1969, and the sportier Z600 coupe followed in 1971. According to one source, a total of 40,586 sedans and coupes were sold in the US for the 1970 thru 1972 model years, with the majority being sedans. Totals from the HONDA FACT BOOK state that there were 35000 Honda AN600 Sedans and 15500 AZ600 Coupes sold in the USA. Regardless of the exact number sold, very few have survived. Although the actual number of survivors is unknown, best estimates are fewer than 1000, probably more like 300 or so are in operating condition today. Bill Colford has done research on production numbers, and his conclusion is:"How many USA survivors are out there, I would have to say 600 or so Sedans and Coupes combined and maybe 300 of these are running. However, more are being restored as we speak." The Honda 600 sedan (N600) and coupe (Z600) are small cars - just over 10 feet long, and weighing about 1300 pounds. Although not overpowered by any means with a two cylinder motorcycle engine with 36 cubic inches and 36 horsepower, they were actually fairly sophisticated and powerful compared with the other micro cars of the time. Some of the features that differentiated the Honda 600 were front power disc brakes, 4 speed all synchro transmission, a tachometer (coupe only), and a surprisingly spacious interior with reasonably comfortable seats. All this is true when compared with Subaru 360, Fiat 500 or 600 features. Compared with the typical US car of the time, the 600 is a tiny, cramped, underpowered car. First imported into Hawaii only in 1969, the N600 sedan was sold on the mainland later that same year.
