1967 Nissan Patrol

1967 Nissan Patrol 4x4 — Rare, Rugged, and Authentically Vintage
Offered here is a seldom-seen 1967 Nissan Patrol, an honest and capable vintage 4x4 that represents the roots of Nissan’s legendary off-road heritage. Long before the Patrol became a global nameplate, early models like this one earned a reputation for durability, simplicity, and go-anywhere capability.
A Brief History
The Nissan Patrol was introduced in the early 1950s as Japan’s answer to rugged utility vehicles like the Land Rover and early Jeep. Built for harsh terrain and demanding use, the Patrol quickly proved itself in military, agricultural, and expedition roles worldwide. By the late 1960s, the Patrol had evolved into a refined yet still utilitarian platform—strong inline-six power, body-on-frame construction, and leaf-spring suspension—making surviving examples today increasingly collectible.
Vehicle Highlights
This Patrol retains the purposeful character that made the model famous, presented in an eye-catching and period-appropriate configuration.
Powered by a 3.9-liter straight-six engine with a single-barrel carburetor, this Patrol delivers smooth, torque-rich performance well-suited for trail use and cruising alike. Power is sent through a four-wheel-drive system, giving it true off-road capability. A single side-exit exhaust completes the mechanical package with a clean, utilitarian look.
The suspension remains true to its roots with leaf springs front and rear, providing classic ride quality and durability. Drum brakes round out the braking system, consistent with the era and the vehicle’s original design.
Exterior
Finished in metallic gold paint, this Patrol stands out while still respecting its vintage DNA. A vinyl soft top with zip-up windows adds open-air versatility, while details like twin mirrors, Nissan mud flaps, chrome tow hooks, and H4 halogen headlights enhance both functionality and appearance. Chrome wagon-style wheels wrapped in 31x10.5x15 all-terrain tires give it a confident, ready-for-anything stance.
Interior
Inside, the cabin is simple, practical, and honest. The speedometer and odometer read in kilometers, reinforcing its international heritage. Late-model adjustable cloth front seats improve comfort while maintaining a utilitarian feel. Vinyl floor mats, three-point seat belts, and flow-through ventilation make it usable and enjoyable. The rear has been left open with no back seats, offering ample cargo space or room for gear.
Summary
This 1967 Nissan Patrol is a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic early Japanese 4x4—one that blends historical significance, rugged mechanicals, and unmistakable vintage character. Whether added to a collection, used as a weekend adventure vehicle, or displayed as a conversation-starting classic, this Patrol represents a unique chapter in off-road history that’s becoming harder to find every year.
