Barn fresh Z600's

Post by eric.geiger »

so over the summer i went and visited my uncle who i haven't seen in probably 15 or more years. He's always had lots of old cars and i knew he had some in his barn so i decided id pay a visit since i was in the area. here is what i found. 2 honda Z600's buried under 20 years of barn dust and debris.
The green one was pretty clean on the exterior and was called the frog. Raccoons have eaten the entire interior and the pics are crazy! i think this one still had the engine in it. He put grease on all the rust spots before putting it away so the body has stayed in decent shape.
The yellow one has had something put on the roof so its caved in a bit but the interior was semi clean and the drivers seat was usable and not that dried out amazingly.
regardless i tried to get him to let me buy them but he keeps saying some day he's gonna get around to working on them. Its never going to happen!! my aunt keeps saying i can have them.
His son is now in charge of all the cars and bits and he's not much better at giving anything away and says someday he's gonna fix them up with his kids. More than likely these cars will never get out of the barn but hopefully if they ever decide to do anything with them ill get the first call.
Enjoy the pictures and try not to cry.

Hey Eric,
Do you think that your uncle (or his son) would consider selling the Mini Panel Van or any of the other cars?
