Liberty Walk-Widebody 2013 Nissan GT-R Packs an AMS Alpha 7 Turbo Kit and a Rebuilt Title

A 2013 Nissan GT-R Premium wearing a full Liberty Walk Silhouette Works widebody kit and an AMS Alpha 7 turbocharger package is currently bidding on Cars & Bids, and the black-over-red R35 is drawing attention for more than just its aggressive stance. Bidding sits at $47,350 with a few days left on the clock, a number that reflects both the extensive performance work done to the car and a title history that every serious bidder should understand before raising a hand.

Nissan built the R35 GT-R for 2009 as a giant-killer, pairing a hand-assembled twin-turbo V6 with all-wheel drive and a dual-clutch transmission to chase down cars costing several times as much, a formula that earned it the Godzilla nickname among enthusiasts. In stock trim, the 3.8-liter engine sends 545 horsepower and 463 lb-ft of torque to all four corners, but the seller reports this particular car has been built well past factory output with a fairly comprehensive AMS Performance package, including the Alpha 7 turbo upgrade, a matching intake and intercooler, downpipes, a race exhaust, larger fuel injectors, and an E85 tune loaded onto a COBB Accessport. The rest of the car has been sorted to match, with a carbon-ceramic brake conversion, air suspension, and 20-inch Savini forged wheels filling out the Liberty Walk bodywork, while a custom roll cage and Takata harnesses hint at track use. The odometer shows roughly 23,700 miles, and a Carfax report attached to the auction shows the car has been registered in California since new.

That Carfax also explains why this GT-R carries a rebuilt title rather than a clean one. The report shows minor damage to the rear and right rear in September 2017, followed by a salvage title issued in March 2018 and again that June, with a rebuilt title finally issued this past April. The seller maintains there is no frame or suspension damage and that the car tracks straight, but the paperwork is a useful reminder of how insurers total GT-Rs: parts and labor on the R35 add up so quickly that even modest collision damage can push a repair estimate past a carrier's threshold, triggering a salvage brand regardless of how the chassis actually holds up. Cosmetically, the seller discloses a handful of flaws typical of a modified car with some age on it, including chips on the nose, a scrape on the passenger-side skirt, and wear on the driver's seat and center console.

Title branding and heavy modification both tend to move GT-R money in the same direction, and Hagerty's valuation tools make that easy to see. Hagerty currently values a clean, unmodified 2013 GT-R Premium in #3 (Good) condition at $74,900, a figure that has stayed essentially flat over the past year. Measured against that benchmark, this car's $47,350 high bid reflects the discount the market applies to a modified, rebuilt-title example, even one with sorted mechanicals and a widebody kit that easily cost more than the car currently owes. It is the kind of gap worth running through Hagerty's valuation tools before bidding, whether on this GT-R or on a No-Reserve 2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition also out of Cars & Bids, or a very different slice of Nissan turbo history in this 34-Years-Owned 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo out of Hagerty Marketplace. Bidding on this GT-R is scheduled to close July 31.
