AUSTRALIAN PADDOCK PATROL's

Post by G60michael »

Hi all,

After a successful post on another forum, i decided to start up the Topic on this Forum.

The Topic is about posting photos and information of that old g60 patrol your eyes caught onto while driving down that lonely country road,
Or that g60 stored in the old barn and you almost crashed, because you were to busy trying to work out if it was a g60 :lol:

Its a good way for us Aussies to show each other what still lies about our beautiful country. If you wish please post photo of old aussie patrols, weather its parked in a paddock, shed or overgrown with lantana, we want to see it.

I've got a few pics to post up this evening, anyways I am off to Neil's

Cheers G60michael

Here's a G60 sitting in a wreckers yard just outside of town.

Rang them up about it a while ago, the dude wasn't too pleasant, got told there is no engine in it either, no radiator either looking at the photo.

Here's a 1966 G60 sitting on my father-in-laws property.

Apparently it still goes, but it has pretty much just been left to the elements.

Well here is a few old g60 Paddock Patrols that i know are still about, i didn't take some of these photos, i just received them in emails and Via Facebook ect.

A Orange late 1970's Tray back Ute a few mates spotted local. Its got a good aluminum tray bolted to it. It was running but has a starter motor issue, but apparently it will still go, the owner said i can have it for a carton on toohey's, i just have to arrange to get it here now :)

Image

A white 1967 G60 Patrol Ute which a contact put me onto, apparently it hasn't been driven in 3 years, and still has the original engine, its a shame it beaten around, its a few hours from me, but if its free or very cheap may see it end up here.

This old beast belongs to my mate Neil, a Chopped 1976 MWB which runs the sawmill, welder and occasionally is the farm work ute.
Image

Neil's parts Donor, a stuffed 1976 SWB which was pushed on its side for easy access to parts. Was running good when parked but chassis was rotten and was replaced by the 76 MWB/Ute.
Image

Neil's newest g60, a 1975 MWB, Which is rusty but was purchased to replace the 76 Ute, by powering the sawmill/welder. We will be picking it up in the new year.
Image
These old wrecks are just up the road from home, the green one is a 72 G60 ex Mining Ute, Totally wrecked, both of these g60 will or may have already been crushed, due to EPA shutdown.Image
Image

This old 1973 G60 Patrol Ute, is parked in a run down Farm Shed, there is a 78 G60 Ute behind it as well which is almost overgrown in Vines and trees.Image

A guy contacted me a few hours from where i live, he has these 2 g60's he is looking to sell, one is a wreck of a LWB Troop Carrier :doh: the other is a rust MWB.Image

So cool to see these old Patrols... But also such a waste to see some in the state they're in!

This one actually has some decent, hard to find parts left on it. And surprisingly, I believe that it has an original factory hard top. It looks like the top piece has been reworked, but the sides are unmistakably factory. Cool!

Thanks for sharing guys! :D
Beyond any hope for intervention
