Slowly but surely, Paul Walker’s impressive car collection is being ripped apart, as the cars he once owned and drove are sent each their own way at an accelerated pase: the biggest sale of Paul Walker cars started earlier in January in Scottsdale, Arizona, and starred anything from a 2000 Audi S4 to the stripped 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R we are going to talk about here.
This particular race-bred car managed to fetch the second highest sum of any of Walkers cars on sale during the event. Whereas the 2009 Nissan 370Z the actor once owned sold for $105,600, this GT-R went under the hammer for a total of $100,100.
Whoever purchased the car landed themselves a right hand drive machine equipped with a full roll-cage, just one Sparco racing seat, and a fire extinguisher. Under the hood lies the stock 2.6-liter twin-turbo inline-6 engine, linked to a 5-speed manual transmission and the ATTESSA all-wheel-drive system. The engine develops 332 hp.
Aside belonging to Paul Walker, the R32 Skyline GT-R is a treasure of a car in itself, mostly because there aren’t that many to go around in the U.S: the 1989 model only became legal to import a few years ago, according to the 25-years rule.
Typically, such a car sells for prices between $20,000 and $75,000, but given the fact that this particular one has been modified for the track, and it belonged to one of the big car lovers of our time, the final price is more than justified.
As for the rest of the Paul Walker collection on sale by Barrett-Jackson, not all cars found their owners yet.
For instance, the five BMW M3 E36 Lightweights are still listed as for sale. But the other items on the list, including a 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302S, several bikes, and even a beat-down Chevy Nova from 1963, managed to sell for sums that combined reach well north of $500,000.
