I remember when my friend bought a Patrol back in 1980. I was seriously jealous. It was in great condition. One of the things I remember about the Patrol is that it had a crank start in case the battery was dead. Very cool. The friend ended up rolling the thing on dry pavement less than a year after he bought it.
Sweet!
A friend of mine had two old Patrols collecting dust in his barn. I could kick myself now for not buying them. He wanted $1000 for the pair.
Geez, man, where you been lately? /threadjack
Hella old thread, here I go.....
Lol, what sparked that fire?
That's frigging amazing...Currently they are way way cheaper than an FJ40 to get into, even a Rover. But parts can be a real bitch! Parts are available though on Ebay.Australia and from a few sources in Colombia. Nissan Japan doesn't have a lot but you can get a few thousand bucks worth of parts from them still.
Check out this absolutely mint 69 Patrol that sold in California for $10k. It is one of the nicest un-restored Patrols I have ever seen. If this was an FJ40 it would easily sell for $50k+. It is even sporting the original tires, a true time capsule of a truck.

Not often do they come up like this one though and sometimes they go for 2-3x what this one did. The guy who bought this seriously scored imho.
Cheers
