For Sale: 1972 Honda Z-600 in Phoenix, Arizona

1972 HONDA Z-600 COUPE, 2 CYLINDER COMMUTER 4 SPEED MANUAL 3 DOOR HATCHBACK COMMUTER OR "CITICAR" AS THEY WERE KNOWN, SEE HISTORY BELOW:
The two-door�Honda Z�debuted in October 1970 and was marketed until 1973 in most countries. US sales (only with the larger 600�cc engine) lasted for model years 1970 through 1972, ending prior to the 1973 introduction of the�Civic. Marketed as the "sport coup�" version of the�N600, the two were sold side by side at American motorcycle dealerships until the first stand-alone automobile dealers opened to market the Civic. Total production was 40,586 units[citation needed].
In certain countries, such as the USA, the Z600 name simply reflected the engine's size of 598�cc (36�cu�in). The smaller-engined Honda Z360 was available in Japan (and other markets, such as Australia) with a 354�cc (22�cu�in) twin. In the UK they came only in 600�cc form and were called simply 'Honda Z' with no mention of the engine size in the name.
As with all cars in the�Kei�class, the Z360's specifications were tightly governed. The Z360 originally featured an air-cooled, 354�cc, 2-cylinder�SOHC�engine with a 4- or 5-speed transmission driving the front wheels. Outputs were 31�PS�(23�kW; 31�hp) at 8500�rpm for the Act and Pro versions, and 36�PS (26�kW; 36�hp) at an astronomical 9000�rpm for the sportier TS and GS models.[1]�The Z600 model's 598�cc�SOHC�engine was rated at 36�PS (26�kW; 36�hp). In December 1971, the Z360 received a facelift and a water-cooled engine, it too producing 36�PS (26�kW; 36�hp) at 9000�rpm. Only a month later, the 31�PS engine used in the lower spec variants (Standard, Deluxe, Automatic, Custom) also became water-cooled.[2]�The engine's technical achievements reflected influence from Honda's larger 1.3 L air-cooled four cylinder used in the�Honda 1300�coupe and sedan.
The Z featured�coil sprung�and independent front suspension and leaf springs on a beam axle rear suspension. The interior accommodated two adults, with a very small rear seat.[citation needed]�A rear glass hatch with a black plastic surround opened to a shallow cargo area. Below the cargo area a compartment, accessible via a lid beneath the number plate, held the spare wheel and tools. Later versions, after a November 1972 facelift, deleted the extra lid and also moved the license plate down where it had used to be. These also received the new�EA�engine of 356�cc (22�cu�in), now only available in a more powerful, 36�PS (26�kW; 36�hp) version.[3]Production ended in 1974, after the new Civic had arrived and the�Oil Crisis�had diminished the market for "fun" cars.
