Ash,
Have a look at the Early Datsun web site. There is a link to Prince, plenty
of reading for the history buffs here.

Does anyone have a pic of one of these?
I have no idea how to even imagine how one of these would look.
Thanx,
Ash.

Richard,I don't seem to have any good specs here but this little snippet of
info will give you a bit of an idea about the difference. These cars were
ahead of their time, some of the features found their way into the 1600
although whose idea was it to have a 99 litre fuel tank, start saving up for
a trip to the servo.BTW The Prince Gloria was the luxury version of the
Skyline.
PRINCE SKYLINE GT S54 SERIES 1965 - 1968
When Prince wanted to go racing with the Skyline someone had the bright idea
of taking out the 4cyl. engine and replacing it with the 6cyl. from the S40
Gloria. At first a small number were built to homologate the cars for
racing, when these proved so popular they decided to put the GT into full
production. There was no way the 6cyl. engine would fit in the S50, so what
they did was they cut the car in front of the fire wall and inserted an
extra 8 inches of panel work into the nose of the car to give the extra room
needed. When you look inside the engine bay this modification is clearly
visible. This gave the car a very dramatic appearance with it's long bonnet
and short boot. It was available in two versions, the "B" model had the
1988cc 6cyl. 127hp OHC G7 engine. It had triple 40DCOE-18 Weber carbs, 5
speed close ratio gearbox, 99 litre fuel tank, full instrumentation, limited
slip diff, power brake booster and a higher compression engine. The "A"
model had a 106hp single carb version of the G7 with a lower compression
ratio. Both models had disc front brakes with twin piston callipers and
alloy finned drums at the rear. Later models had flow through ventilation
with small eye ball vents added to the dashboard. Later cars were sold as
either a Prince A200GT or Nissan A200GT.

I'm keeping quiet on the whereabouts of Prince Skyline until I decide
whether I'm interested in takiing it on as a restoration. I also need to
see if I can do the conversions to take it from a genuine GT - A to the
sexier GT - B specs. Any one have the original performance info on these two
models?

MY FAVOURITE ALL TIME CAR With all the options (lsd, 5 speed, 4 wheel discs
etc etc ) a very sweet car.I went for a drive in one when i was very young
and it was very new. I was 10 and our family car was a Vanguard Spacemaster.
It was the first time i saw a motor vehicle as being for anything other than
a people carrier. When this guy changed into 5th at 100mph and those webers
roared I was hooked.I have no idea what they are worth but I'd love to own
one..In fact I'd probly sell the 1600 to get one.I think there were lots of
different Princes and they are not all GT's.Will u let us know if u find out
Richard.. BTW Where is it and is there an asking price?cheersMick -----

Anyone have an idea what a 1965 Prince Skyline GT-A is worth? This is the
predecessor to the current Skylines and 1600's. It looks like an elongated
early 1600. The one I looked at has rust in the lower doors and outer sills.
Body and interior is complete, straight and in original paint. It is a four
speed GTA but comes with the GT-B triple weber manifold and three dial
dashboard. No 5 speed or LSD however.
