While killing time on the puter I stumbled onto a site titled Aussie Muscle Car Museum. All kinds of need stuff and this I would love to terrorize the neighborhood in:
2. Prince Skyline GTB
Mention the name "Prince", and most people think of a funky African-American rock star whose voice still hasn't cracked, but in 1960s Japan, Prince made competent, but boring cars and light commercial vehicles. In 1964 Prince launched the Skyline 1500, a basic 4 cylinder sedan that resembled the not yet released Datsun 1600. Prince aquired the rights to the old 1950s design OHC 6 Mercedes engine, fitting it into their own version of a Nissan Cedric, called the Gloria. In a very bold and unprecedented move, Prince then stretched the nose of the Skyline by a massive 8 inches forward of the firewall and installed the same engine! Determined not to do anything by halves, they also upped the compression ratio, modified the head and camshaft, fitted 3 magnificent 45 DCOE Webers, dropped in a 5 speed gearbox, LSD, finned rear brake drums, massive 99 litre tank with quick-fill cap in the boot, Nardi style woodrim wheel, full instrument dash, and straight through exhaust, to produce a not too shabby 127HP from a car weighing roughly the same as a Ford Escort. Did it go? (do eskimoes wear leg warmers in winter?) The Skyline S54 A200 BE3 GTB was a very competitive race car in Japan, much less so in Australia, but set a precedent for high performance 6 cylinder Nissan Skylines such as the 'Godzilla' GTRs that continues to this day.
In 1967, the car formerly known as Prince became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co., and Prince still designs and manufactures high performance Skylines under its own name even now. Over 300 Skyline GTAs (2 barrel carby only) and GTBs were sold new in Australia, it is believed
around 10% of that number survive. (for sale, refer cars for sale page)
