Godzilla Market Value & Price History

The Australian magazine Wheels called the R32 Skyline GT-R "Godzilla" — a monster out of Japan — after it arrived and dominated Australian touring car racing.

DriveIndex tracks 6 models that the Godzilla name covers, across model years 1989–2002, with current market values from $32,291 to $386,575, built on 186 verified auction sales. 1 is for sale now. Sold prices are down 11.8% over the past 12 months versus the prior year.
