Prince Skyline 2000GT-B

Following the 1966 merger between Prince Motor Company and Nissan, the Skyline 2000GT-B carried both heritages, featuring Prince's sophisticated inline-6 engine and advanced semi-trailing arm rear suspension. The GT-B served as the upscale performance model until the legendary GT-R arrived in 1969. Its refined six-cylinder engine and superior handling made it popular among Japanese executives who appreciated performance without the GT-R's racing focus.

$18,000 – $55,000
