 | Introduced in 1969, the PGC-10 Skyline 2000 GT-R was nicknamed 'Hakosuka,' a combination of 'box' and 'skyline' in Japanese. Under the hood is a true jewel of a motor. Displacing 2 liters with dual overhead cams, and a 7,500rpm redline, the 6-cylinder, S-20 heart of the GT-R was derived from the Nissan R380 racecar, and was only found in GT-R's and Fairlady Z 432, making it a rare and highly sought after race engine. |
 | The lack of importation and limited production means a hallowed status among Japanese car fans. 2,029 GT-Rs were made between 1969 and 1972. |  Only 832 sedans were built. |
 | Hakosuka's rarely escape Japan. When this particular example arrived to the US, Jay Leno featured it on his popular series. The car changed hands for $130k. |  |
