Getting Old Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Prince GTB Value Hi everyone, I am new to this so please be patient. I own a Prince Skyline S54BE-3. It is original with matching numbers. The wheel flairs were ruined by the previous owner. I had always intended restoring it but left it too long.Hence my name. Everything is there except for the standard wheels and one LH guard lamp. Motor, Gearbox and Weber pack have been garaged on a pallet since I purchased the vehicle. I want to sell the vehicle but have no Idea f what it is worth. Can anyone help. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/469621-prince-gtb-value/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PranK Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Mike, Your Prince is gorgeous! I have no idea what it's worth though, sorry.

Getting Old Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Christian, I have owned it for 33 years. I only drove it twice. Then pulled the motor and box out to start restoration. I still love it. Especially because it is all still there. Matching numbers. As a restored vehicle that would add value I think. I have the same old story. Got busy with work and work on the Prince just stopped. Now I don't have the energy.I also have a series 1 RX7 that is almost fully restored. Selling that as well. Health issues. Thanks for the comments 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/469621-prince-gtb-value/#findComment-7817665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam GTR Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) This might give you an idea, i saw this about a year ago in similar condition, about $5000 AUD, but different country different market.

PranK Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hey Mike, this might get more traction in the classics section. Do you want me to move it? 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/469621-prince-gtb-value/#findComment-7820691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroy Peterson Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I did some searching and didnt find much. Few similar era skylines in Japan, but none had prices. http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU3730457392/index.html?TRCD=200002 http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU5575180273/index.html?TRCD=200002 Might be worth asking some members of Classic Skylines Australia. Their facebook page might be the best bet. https://www.facebook.com/Classicskylines/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/469621-prince-gtb-value/#findComment-7820965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgh Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Did you obtain a price? Have you sold it? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/469621-prince-gtb-value/#findComment-7840570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getting Old Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi. No I didn';t obtain a price. Best guestimates were between 5K and 15K.I had numerous offers at the lower mark. The death of my wife stopped my wish for an immediate sale. It is still available but I still won't consider the lower end of the range.

Getting Old Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I have decided to restore the Prince myself. It is no longer for sale. Thanks for the help in trying to establish a value.

Blue Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi Mike, I assume you would be aware of the Prince register? Jason as listed in the post above yours would be a great place to start. Lots of really passionate Prince guys there. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/469621-prince-gtb-value/#findComment-7872537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getting Old Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi Blue. The passionate guys I did speak to from the Prince club were all happy to tell me the car was only worth a few thousand due to the cost of restoration. Mind you the cost of components,If I were to wreck it, would be greater than my asking price. I came to the conclusion that the only way to get the true value for the vehicle was to restore it. Top to bottom. Thanks for your input but the experts all seem to be more passionate about scoring another bargain rather than actually giving any real advice. That's why I have withdrawn it from the market.
