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. The name stuck to the whole R32–R34 run of the twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive Skyline GT-R. DriveIndex tracks 7 models that the Godzilla name covers, across model years 1989–2002, with market values from $32,622 to $577,500, built on 207 verified auction sales. 1 is listed for sale. The median sale price is down 2.5% over the past 12 months versus the prior year. That figure tracks the median of what actually sold, so it moves with the mix of models, years and mileages that came to market as well as with the market itself.
Where the name comes from: Wheels magazine (Australia), on the R32 Skyline GT-R's touring-car era.
