New 600 Guy

Post by Lee Gwin »

Hi All,
I've been into 600s for a long, long time. As a matter of fact, I remember going to a Honda car dealer on Broadway in Denver in the 70's and drooling on the new, shiny coupes. I was probably about nine. I have two coupes now, a blue one that runs but has a very rough body, and an orange one that has a great body, but the previous owner did some amateur wrenching, and I've never started it. Both of them came from a guy (Maurice?) in Prescott, AZ, though the orange one was owned by a kid for a while. I'm in CO, and the cars are in storage in another state. I'm gearing up to get them down here and start some restoration. I'll probably use the blue one for parts, and fix up the orange one, so I may have some parts for sale after a bit.
Thanks,
Lee

I remember looking at them new in the Dealers back in 72. Even picked up all the sales brochure's at the time. And still have all the sales brochure's. I didn't get my first 600 until 83. I have owned about 15 coupes. Only have one these days.
