How Many are Left? Can't buy that info!

Post by mterrens »

I called the "How Many Are Left?" guys, and when I told them I was looking for data on the Honda 600 Coupe, I was practically hung up on!  They said they couldn't help me, actually refused to give a reason why, and went so far as to say that "no one else on the planet" could help me, and therefore I "have reached a dead end" and cannot get help in this regard.
Gee.  THAT was encouraging.

Steven,
Bill has done as much research as anyone on these cars, and I think that our club members paint a good picture of how many really are still around, a few hundred at best!

Hi,
Just a quickie from downunder..... manufacturers really don't care a
lot for "how many were made" it doesn't make them money. Some
companys can tell you everything! I have a build sheet for my 1945
studebaker I obtained from factory records about 8 years ago (but
unfortunately they didn't make it into the 21 Century, maybe they
were more worried about bits of paper?). Mercedes is another good
one, GM down here can tell you most things about most cars.
The Honda Museum in Japan might be a good place to ask though.
The "how many left" I agree with Bill, its the same down here
proabaly 3 or 4 good Z's in most major citys a few more here and
there in the country.
Roger
