Semi-Custom Honda AZ600
The AZ600 was the “sport coupe” version of the N360/N600 microcar – arguably Honda’s first mainstream production car. These featured various air-cooled twin cylinder engines, with the 600 indicating 600cc displacement here and in all US versions. Most of these don’t play up the sport theme too much, but here we have the first I’ve…

Nasty Del Sol
We recently featured a very nice Honda Del Sol and pointed out that these are an interesting way to get some open-air fun. This is not at all like that car… This seller claims a B18C swap from an Integra, which isn’t a terrible idea, though it only adds ~17ft-lbs and 10HP over a stock…

Finally, a complete Honda S600
We’ve posted a couple of these recently, but they’ve been projects and it’s been hard to get a feel for the real value of these. Finally, a nice, complete one has arrived. Despite a reserve, the starting price was low enough, so the market will speak. As for the car itself, suffice it to say…

Super-rare in the US: Honda City Turbo II
Honda hasn’t, so far, been known for turbochargers, but this tiny hatchback is an exception to that rule. This is not officially a Kei car due to size, but, trust me, it’s small. I’ve never driven one, but would love to – a tiny, turbocharged engine in a really tiny car. What’s not to love?…

Twice in a lifetime?
Recently, we featured a Honda S800 Coupe in unfinished condition and it’s no secret this is one of my favorite cars. Here we have the S600, which preceded the S800 and has the funky chain-drive rear end. This one needs restoration, but the seller claims it will run on fuel from a can. Would you…

Honda S800 Coupe – previously sighted and now for sale!
We previously spotted this car at Irvine Cars and Coffee and now it’s turned up for sale. A quick look at the images guarantees this is the same one, so we know it has driven within the last year. This may be the greatest temptation to appear on eBay all year, and it waited for…

Custom Honda 600 pickup
Sadly, Honda never made a pickup version of the 600. The closest thing was the cab-over TN360. Regardless, some have decided to take matters into their own hands and create N600 trucks. We applaud them for their contributions to automotive weirdness. This example appears to be in good shape and the seller claims it runs…

Holy Grail of oddness: Honda S800 Coupe
Anyone with any automotive street cred knows exactly what a Honda S2000 is and why it’s a great car. You have to go up a level to know that the S2000 was inspired by Honda’s first production car, the S500 through S800 series. Seemingly very few, however, are aware of the coupe versions of the…

Rare Honda 1300 Coupe 9
Here’s something we’ve never seen – Honda’s first “large” car, made for only a few years and with a high price tag. This is a gray market, RHD car, which is the case with any you’ll find in the US. The ad text below sums it up nicely. Really, though, what’s not the love? Weirdness…

Custom something-or-other
We featured this car in our coverage of June 8th Irvine Cars and Coffee. It’s not at all surprising to see something parked prominently at that event for sale within weeks. What’s funny here is that we’re still not sure what it is. There’s mention of a Fiat title and Honda power (from what?). There…
