This 1965 Honda S600 convertible is said to have been bought new from a Honda dealer in Toronto, Canada, by Pennsylvania-based Honda motorcycle dealers Ron and Mary Krause, who would later go on to become one of Honda’s first U.S. automobile dealers in 1972.
The car changed hands several times in Pennsylvania before it was acquired as a disassembled project by the seller in 1995. It was refurbished by the seller in a project that included painting the bodywork in Ivory white and powder-coatixng the frame, and it was featured in the August 2007 issue of Motor Trend Classic magazine. In 2007 the car was displayed at the Honda S2000 Homecoming in Torrance, CA, and at the Petersen Museum’s “Microcars: The Minimum in Motoring” exhibition. It was awarded Best in Show at the 2014 Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, CA, and it was displayed at the 2019 Japanese Automotive Invitational in Pebble Beach, CA.
Power is from a 606-cc DOHC inline-4 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, and the car features red upholstery, a black soft top and fender-mounted mirrors. This S600 is offered with a set of uninstalled door seals and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
