THAT is a nice Patrol. He's underpriced it. If he took some better pics and put it on BringaTrailer it could go for over $20,000, I think.

Yea, but his headlight knob is broken!

...and half the headliner is missing, and the mirrors are wrong, etc. But it is in very good 'preserved' condition. It still has the welded on side steps, which indicates that it hasn't been thrashed. The listing doesn't state what the mileage is, so that could detract from the price, but it doesn't look like a high mileage engine.

Hmmmm:

everything on this vehicle is original, including the chrome wheels with hubcaps

Those do look like original hubcaps, but the wheels seem too deep, and at first I thought those were trim-rings, but they look more like the wheels themselves are chrome ...

I'm just nit-picking the wording of the ad - It is a VERY nice, original looking rig. Not sure why there is only one bumper and one clip on the hood.... that is interesting

Very nice.

I thought that was interesting, too, the original hubcaps on non-stock chrome wheels. But, owners do interesting things; Togo is an example of that.

The single bumper and clip on the hood is because it it a 68-sold-as-a-69. In 69 they went back to having two bumpers and clips.

Looks nice! Thinking its a "68 sold as 69", which explains the year not being mentioned on the data plate, the "banjo" steering wheel, the independent dual wipers, the single hood-bumper and latch, and of course, the front and rear turn signal-parking lights, the speedometer mounted left of the instrument cluster. Mine came stock with 15" split rims, also.

The winch looks manually operated.

The winch looks manually operated.

I wonder what that would put the weight rating at? One figure for you, another for me. And be sure to keep your shirt tail away from that gear.
