1971 Nissan Skyline “Hakosuka” GT-R (tribute vehicle)
This is a modified version of the legendary “Hakosuka” Skyline (“Boxy Skyline”) – a tribute GT-R, privately owned. Introduced in 1969, this generation of GT-R, with its DOHC 24-valve 6-cylinder S20 powerplant, cemented the model as a legend, with 52 race victories in Japanese touring car competition, in the 1960s and 1970s. The car shown above was displayed at the 12th annual Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) in California. A similar version is on display at the world-renowned Datsun and Nissan museum in Bothaville.
