Our Take:
- Rarity Factor: The 1964 Nissan Patrol is a rare gem, especially in the U.S., where it was quite a newcomer compared to the Jeep and Land Rover. With its rugged design and powerful capabilities, it was known as a go-anywhere vehicle—though today, finding one in such original condition is like spotting a unicorn in the wild.
- Historical Significance: This Patrol marks Nissan's attempt to capture the global off-road market during the early '60s. The model was known for its simple yet robust engineering, which catered to the needs of various militaries and adventurous buyers worldwide. The fact that this particular Patrol still retains its original engine is a nod to its lasting engineering prowess.
- Unique Features: The Patrol’s manual transmission is a testament to the hands-on driving pleasures of the time. And while it’s missing a couple of doors, that just adds to the character—think of it as a "built-in convertible." Plus, the modifications like the non-original fuel pump and bumpers hint at a life that’s seen some practical upgrades.
- Collector's Interest: With only 300 miles on the odometer since its restoration moments, this Patrol is practically a time capsule waiting to be opened. For the enthusiast, restoring the missing components can be a rewarding endeavor—one that promises plenty of tales for your next car meet. And being titled and registered in California means it's already cleared some of the most stringent registration hurdles out there.
