Nissan Skyline - C10 (1968 to 1972)

The C10 generation of Nissan Skyline was the first to only be sold with a Nissan badge - the previous generation was initially sold as a Prince Skyline, only to change to Nissan in 1966. The C10 Skyline was offered as a coupe, a 4-door sedan, and a station wagon, and with a selection of inline four and inline six cylinder engines. Notable variants include the entry level 1500, powered by a 1.5L inline four rated at 88hp to 95hp, the 2000GT and slightly uprated 2000GT-X, powered by a 2.0L inline six rated at 120hp and 130hp respectively, and the 2000GT-R, first Skyline to wear the now famous GT-R badge, powered by a high-revving 2.0L twin-cam inline six rated at 160hp. Identified by the VIN characgters PCG (4-door) and KPGC (2-door), this generation of Skyline GT-R became known as the Hakosuka: "Hako" in Japanese means "box" relating to the somewhat-boxy styling, and "Suka" means "skyline." The 2000GT-R became a force in Japanese motorsports, spawing additional variants in future generations. Worth noting that many Skyline variants have been modified with GT-R features. The C10 was replaced by the Nissan Skyline C110 generation in 1972.
