    Nissan Patrol! Excellent!

    IIRC they were only imported for a few years in the late 60s (?) ... any idea how many were brought in?

    How did you manage to score two of them? They are defiantely a rare bird, even rarer to see 2 together at one time. Good find.

    I remember reading an article as a teenager in Popular Science comparing the Bronco, Scout, Jeepster and Patrol. I don't remember the specifics, but I think the Patrol did pretty well. The Bronco had the 170 and 3-speed, so this muat have been 1966 or 1967? It would be interesting to find that article and read it again.

    The reviewers liked the power of the Jeepster. I think they liked the ride of the Bronco, and gave that the top rating.

    Well i don't know what to do with them!
    I plan on keeping the brown one it is a 1964 (it was my Buddy's dads and we use to drive it Mexico) Its all stock but missing the hard top! I may have found a Hard top buts its going to cost me:(!! The white one is a true soft top! to quote Patrol production history "Here in the USA the Patrol was imported and sold from 1961-1969. Total sales was 2616 vehicles with 975 being L60's or soft tops and 1641 being hard tops or KL60's." I wanted to strip out one and make a almost stock softy but not all the parts fit real well (the more i find out about patrols the more i want to keep them both)!
    I really dint have the room to keep any of them, my cj2a is in the garage, my cj3b I gave to my dad (no room at my house) my mbt is in my toy hauler and my 33 Plymouth is in my grandfathers shop up north! crap way does this stuff kee following me home!
    I think i will most likely sell the 1967 (even though it will kill me) and leave it as complete as i found it!

    Humm! this sounds like a good poll!
    who says:
    keep them both?
    sell the white one?
    sell the brown one?
    sell them both?

    Take a better look!! I posted some pics on Rocky Mountian Patrol & Off Road
