1967 Nissan Patrol

[46&2]

I saw this thing driving around town a few times and at first I didnt know what it was. I thought it was an old BJ landcruiser. Then one morning I spied it driving by after my girlfriend and I had just got done having breakfast at a local cafe. I ran over to interogate the owner since I had never seen one before. As I approached I tried to find a badge of sorts to figure out what it was but it didnt have any. I looked at the steering wheel and it had two letters: NP - Nissan Patrol. 

When the owner came back outside I asked him about it and he let me have a look at the engine and interior. It is a 1967 Nissan Patrol with a straight 6 Nissan gasoline engine and a 5 speed. it has solid axles front and rear and a removeable top. I thought it was awesome. He said he found it sitting in a garage along with a second Patrol in a house he bought a few years back. The owners thought it was junk but it just needed a little TLC.

Anyway I thought some people here might appreciate this rare little piece of history. the patrol is a big name around the world but they were only imported for a few years in the States.

A local up pull it yard used to have one that was actually pretty straight and complete, but I can only assume it got crushed when they closed the yard.
