This 1967 Honda S800 coupe (chassis 1001915) is a good-looking, claimed largely original and rust-free example with an interesting history. Delivered new in France to a US native, the car was shipped back home in 1970 and last registered in 2002. Literally found in the original owner’s barn following his passing last year, the car has since been recommissioned with some brake and clutch hydraulic work, fuel system cleaning, and a general going over. Now said to run and drive well, the car has a few minor details in need of attention, but retains its lovely original yellow glass Marchal headlamps, French plates, and other interesting historical items like attendance stickers from Monte Carlo and Le Mans. Find it here on Craigslist in Emory, Georgia for $21,900. Special thanks to BaT reader Eric B. for this submission.

Says the seller: “Incredibly original and rust-free with with 76,000 km or about 47,000 miles. Exterior shows well with very good chrome, trim, and glass, and although it’s seen some paintwork at some point, the finish has a wonderful patina that we would leave untouched. No corrosion underneath and the doors shut with a reassuring sound.” Among the short list of noted faults are a broken hatch latch and aged tires in need of replacement. Note the original-owner fitted roll bar, OEM wheels with cap, and generally well looked-after appearance.

The interior is said to show as “virtually new” and certainly does look very good in photos, with an excellent headliner, dash, center console, door panels, switchgear, gauges and other trim. The OEM wood-rimmed steering wheel wears a leather wrap, which we’d leave in place until prepared to pay for a possibly expensive restoration. Klippan three-point seatbelts have been fitted alongside aftermarket, slip-on headrests–both are period and seem to have been fitted by the original owner. Switchgear and gauges are described as being in excellent, working condition, though further down the ad the seller notes that the temp gauge sender seems to be bad.

Again, the seller words: “After we acquired the Honda from the estate of the original owner we undertook a sympathetic freshening to put it back on the road–this included some brake and clutch hydraulics and fuel system work and a general going over. It is running and driving very well–the engine sounds like a formula car as it screams towards redline, breathing through four side draft carbs and beautiful stainless headers/exhaust.” Speaking of carbs, the original airbox is missing, hence the incorrect filter elements. The engine bay otherwise looks nice and original, but would benefit greatly from fitment of a correct filter and cover arrangement.

Someday soon 22 grand will seem like a bargain for one of these, and this one’s cool history, nice colors, and good condition make it a very compelling example.
