You may find it hard to believe but the Paul Newman Version R30 Skylines still fetch a decent amount of coin back in Japan. Apart from being specced to the same level as the top of the line GT-ES models and the inclusion of a R200 LSD as standard equipment there’s not much else that makes the PNV any better than a regular HR30. (Unless you count the signature decals of course)

I’ve encountered this car at a few shows about the place before but this morning I found it parked only a little way down from my work and I had my camera on my, figured it would be rude to not share it.
A chap on the JNC forums recently shared this find and purchase with the forums.
A rare Mitsubishi, in Oregon!?
How cool is that? Not only is the Debonair a rare car, even in Japan, but it’s also one of the coolest looking cars ever built and most certainly one of the coolest cars that Mitsubishi ever made. How odd for one to be kicking about (albeit in tatty condition) in the United States. I can only imagine the excitement that ‘city hunter‘ had when tracking it down was similar to mine when I found my S21 locally.

I know I’ll be keeping a close eye on it.
