That is a good-looking truck - i prefer uncut-unrolled rear fenders, but there is a lot to like.
Is it part of the database and does anyone know the seller?

The seller is member bkippen here. Having just checked, no its not in the Registry. It certainly should be. One simple thing I ask from you guys and it's still like pulling teeth. Sheesh.

River,
My apologies I was quite sure upon my receipt of this one I registered it.
Nevertheless it’s a fantastic example. Fenders are rolled not something I’ve done so I accepted it. I’ve had this one for a couple of years and must say it’s one of the best Patrols I’ve seen. It’s been very reliable I’ve driven it as many as 300 miles non (aside from gasoline) stop.
The reason for the sale is I’m trying to ease the expansion of my company. For those that know me know that I own a prototype machine shop
www.kadmodels.com. In October I open a east coast facility. I’ll be splitting my time between coasts and probably going grey but I believe when am opportunity presents itself you should take the leap.

Wait, what?!
A knowledgeable, authoritative woman asks a man to do a simple thing for the benefit of everyone and the man “forgets” to do it and then claims that he thought he did?!? Shocking. Shocking I say!!
But more seriously - good luck Brian, not only with the sale of this Patrol, but also with the expansion of the business. Exciting times.
I wish I’d known this truck was in Alameda. My daughters play volleyball on the beach there and I would gladly have driven them down Hwy 24 at redline to get a photo of these two Patrols together.

It is indeed an excellent specimen of a Patrol. That it can be reliably driven regularly to me outweighs any cosmetic issues. You wouldn't want to be driving a frame off restoration daily anyway. Life happens, hence the necessity of the sale. Best of luck to you with it, it's worthy of an eye opening final bid.

Great Rig... Great owner.
Brian, one mild suggestion for your BAT ad... add a picture of the original wheels next to the truck. You may be surprised how many more bidders that will shake out of the trees...
