I have had a few Patrols over the years. Still cruising the ratpatrol. One of my freinds drove this heap in High School, can't believe it's still running?

Welcome to 60Patrol. Brrrrr, I thought the temps here last night were cold. Patrol looks all original all the way to the paint.

Looking good! Nice to see another green Patrol on the road. It looks like mine.
i just noticed you have the 2 piece doors on yours. You have the recessed outside door handles. Interesting!

Welcome to 60Patrol!
Thanks for sharing the pics.
I love your Patrol. It really has character. I love that's it is still running and being used. Too many people would want to be seen in it so it would sit neglected. I like the custom radiator block - I totally get it. Patrol heaters are very anemic in very cold weather. How long have you had it?

Welcome ratpatrol. I am new to the website myself and everyone has been great. Will be wearing out the search feature over the next couple weeks/months. Good luck with the green machine.

Looks like you have a 67, judging by the door handles. Looks like round button to open door? Square or rec. would be 68 or 69.2869ral wrote:Looking good! Nice to see another green Patrol on the road. It looks like mine.![]()

Early 66's have the two-piece style doors with recessed handles, and later 66's have the 67-later style door and handles...
My green 66 also has the early style doors.

Those that have been with you since new are the best!
I hope my Jeep and Frontier stay in the family forever. I have already told my kids they can each have one of the Patrols one day.

Re: ratpatrol66...
I bought my daughter a new car for her 16th birthday, my son is 14 and i told him i would buy him a new vehicle too. He said no dad i want a Patrol. How cool is that!, but i want him to have a vehicle thats a bit more road worthy. So we decided to to build a Patrol pick up/UTE. It will have a 5.3 chevy vortec, automatic, completely computerized. We will have to build most of it from scratch. It will be a father/son build, i cant wait. I will have a build thread on this when we start.mdawg4x4 wrote:Those that have been with you since new are the best!
