Prince Skyline GT S54B-II

The Prince Skyline GT S54B represented the birth of Japanese performance sedans. Developed specifically for racing homologation, it featured a twin-cam inline-six engine derived from Prince's racing program. The triple Weber carburetor setup and lightweight construction made it a formidable competitor in Japanese touring car racing, establishing the GT-R legacy decades before the R32.

$45,000 – $120,000

Only 1,963 units were produced, making it one of Japan's rarest classic cars. Prince Motor Company merged with Nissan in 1966.
