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!

 

sorry to have to ask this but i haven't used craigslist other than for local stuff. newb. how do you search the entire US? i put in S600 or S800 and i get no results.

 

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

 

to search all craigslist ads in the USA i use

http://craigslist.extads.com/

 

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.
