If you’re not too familiar with the Honda Z600, you’re in good company. The odd little front-wheel-drive hatchback was one of Honda’s first forays into the automotive market back in the early ’70s. Call it a toe in the water from a manufacturer who sold its very first car …
One of my favorite builds ever.
I hate it when organizations changes the rules too often up to make you spend money for no reason other than not being a lying shiny happy person about it.
this is a super creative build regardless, I love it!
Do we know what happened to this car? I know I saw some pictures of it at an event a few years later but since then crickets
In reply to nocones :
We talked to the owners at Nats a few years ago. IIRC, the chassis was reused in their current racer while the body is sitting somewhere. (This could be totally wrong, though, so don't quote me.)
Very cool story and impressive build!
But if you change or upgrade every single part of the Z600, is it still a Z600? Or just a Z600-shaped racecar?
Ah, the Honda of Theseus. My favorite problem in philosophy.

This needs more upvotes. I nominate for the next Say What? column.
Gotta love the funky builds. Enjoy this story from the vault!
I loved the pic of him holding the body skin up.
Just gawking at this build! Glad y'all decided to bring it up again. The finishing is as amazing as the construction and design. Love it!
In reply to DavyZ :
It really that cool and another good reason to attend Solo Nats. It’s awesome seeing so much inspiring work up close.
Saw something in a similar vein at the Grid Life event over the weekend.
last pic crappy unfortunately.
