The Adorable Death Trap with a Rod Knock



Ah yes, the Honda AN600—Japan’s answer to “how small can a car be before it’s legally considered footwear?” This pint-sized relic of the early ‘70s is powered by a 600cc twin-cylinder engine, which—when new—offered all the horsepower of a strong leaf blower. But don’t worry, you won’t have to deal with its gutless performance, because this one has a “terrible Rod knock”—which is Craigslist code for “this engine is one cold start away from total annihilation.”
The body is described as “pretty decent”, which is a bold claim for a primered-out shoebox that looks like it was left in a field for a decade. But hey, the manual transmission still exists, and the missing title ensures you get a free scavenger hunt with purchase.
Buy Rating: A charming but overpriced lawn ornament. Honda N600s in running condition have recently sold for prices ranging from $8,800 to $25,000, depending on their condition and originality. Given this one’s severe rod knock and missing title, it’s more of a project than a car.
