This 1977 Nissan Patrol (chassis LG6065568) is a 29k lifetime mile example that wears a recent restoration with 500 miles added since completion. Described as fully functional, it sounds like the seller did most of the work and claims no area of the truck was overlooked. The overall result is very attractive, and a few small stone chips and other imperfections means it won’t be a shame to use it properly. Find it here on eBay in Atlanta, Georgia with reserve not met.

Bodywork was performed by the seller and paint was professionally resprayed in the truck’s original color, however there are a few dents on the rear panel with cracked/chipped paint in the lower corners. The ‘Nissan Patrol’ decal on the rear is also beginning to peel. New roof canvas replaced a tired and since discarded fiberglass top, chrome bits have also been redone and tires are new.

Photos of the cabin are limited but it’s also said to have received lots of attention. All instruments and electrics are working following what the seller describes as a rebuild. The two spoke steering wheel is factory correct, but we’d try to find one of the interesting early models to brighten things up a bit.

Underneath, the chassis is claimed to have been disassembled completely with bushings subsequently replaced along with some nuts and bolts, while others were re-used. Note the early Land Rover peeking from behind.

Despite low mileage, both the 4.0 liter gasoline six and manual trans were rebuilt. Some details could use further improvement like the yellowed washer bottle and worn hoses, otherwise things are tidy under the hood.

Though the seller hints that it may be over-restored, we think it actually strikes a good balance between attractive and usable as-is.
