Freak accident, one less Skyline on the planet...
Drunk guy hits Skyline from UK sitting in the parking lot of a bar in the Portland Metro Area. Yep, now there are only 4 left in the USA.

A 1992 British model Nissan Skyline was parked at the Peppermill Lounge at 10 p.m. Sunday night.
The owner went inside to get a drink, according to deputies.
While he was in the bar, someone in a Ford Mustang pulled into the parking lot and plowed into the car.
The Mustang didn't stop, deputies said, and pushed the Skyline 40 feet across the parking lot.
The Skyline was totaled, and the driver of the Mustang jumped out and took off running.
A K9 team was not able to track him down.
This Skyline model had a steering wheel on the right side of the car and deputies said there are only five of them in the U.S.
It's worth $70,000.

$10-25,000 in the UK. Maybe he was trying to get a higher payout from State Farm

I live in London. The r32 is wayyy cheaper than that. Cars are cheap overall here. Most expensive r32 I've seen here was £6000 which is around $9000, but It must have been perfect condition I can't imagine anyone paying that much. r33 and r34 are obviously more expensive, but they rarely reach numbers that high. r33 usually go from around 2000-5000

This is some import auction crap. These are insane prices I know what they go for because I'm looking for a clean r33 as one of my options, and have checked a few out. Can't always believe what you hear on the news.

100k and over, but I see your point. So someone has lied about the value of his banger.

Recent Review of the Peppermill Bar in Aloha, OR : October 24, 2011
"Gone Down Hill. Our family used to frequent this restaurant. Good food that was quick and kid friendly. After adding the lounge, this place has gone down hill quick. I will not even walk by with our kids anymore. The drunken smokers take up the sidewalk from about 5pm on. I am a causal drinker myself, but this is just a lounge full of dirty locals. I would never swing by on my way home, or meet coworkers here. This place just needs to make up its mind; Family Restaurant, or hang out for dirty drunken locals."

On a slightly OT note, maybe it's a good thing these weren't sold here... That car got pummeled.
