Default Where to buy a S600 or S800?

I'm a long time honda-tech member and car/engine builder looking to pick up a S600 or S800 as a project car. Where is the best place to find one in the US? Websites to search?

Hmm, no takers yet. I think the obvious Ebay and Craigslist sites are the best places to look for US cars. While they're not that common, it shouldn't take too long to find a project car. More of them appear in that category than fixed up and running well. One sold recently on Craigslist for $500 with no engine, probably right on the parts-project borderline but destined for parts.

There are a few good threads on these cars here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/classic-hondas-106/s600-coupe-off-frame-restoration-2460545/ has pages of great photos and videos on a restoration to original and https://honda-tech.com/forums/classic-hondas-106/1967-s800-going-try-fit-s2000-engine-2265590/ has details for an engine swap. Some of the restoration threads here for these cars run three years and more but I have yet to see one finish, so be warned!

Try using www.autotempest.com if you haven't already, it will let you search the major car websites all at once

im in the process of restoring a honda Z600 right now i go to the craigslist engine every other day usually and see what pops up. you have to be quick on some of the ads as they don't last long.

Word. I use SearchTempest all the time (not that I have the money to buy anything).

These were sold new in Canada so the occasional one pops here.
