Anyone know more about this listing? Is it legit? I know how rare these are here in the US ... in fact I've only ever seen the red & blue ones that are here on this forum (in hard-top); I think there might be another grey/green soft-top floating around, as well (I seem to recall it having been listed for sale in a few different places last year-ish ... but at a pretty high price point). (edits) Although I'm sure there likely are more, that's just been the results of my anecdotal observations in browsing around looking at these vintage Patrols over the last several years. (/edits)

Both listings appear to be for the same vehicle, ad copy is below (along with one picture - there are quite a few more at the links), for reference:
The Nissan Patrol's legend was shaped by drivers in some of the world's most inhospitable places. It quickly built its reputation as a tough, reliable and innovative addition to the motoring industry. This real man's truck became iconic, lauded for its tough nature and undying loyalty to those who drove it.
This is one truck that people will stop, turn around and come back to look at it. They have never seen one in their life. I get more reactions from this truck than from my two previous Toyota Land Cruisers - FJ40 and FJ43. One thing I can say for sure is that the build quality and the ride are way better than the Toyota FJ40. The Nissan Patrol was a very expensive truck back when it came out, more expensive than the Toyota.
This particular truck is a very rare long wheel base version that never came to the States, with a 4-speed manual transmission (a lot only came with 3-speed). The manual steering is superb compared to the FJ40; it is very easy to maneuver this truck. The 4x4 works great.
The odometer currently reads 66,000 kms or 41,000 miles, but it probably turned over once, so I woud assume it has 166,000 kms or 103,000 miles. This classic 4x4 starts up with the first turn of the key and purrs like a kitten. The 4.0L inline 6-cylinder engine is smoother and stronger than the competition. This vehicle was legally imported from South America.
I have a clean and clear North Carolina title available for transfer.
Price is $23,999. Serious inquiries only, please. This is a very rare, vintage collector's vehicle which will only increase in value. Please email or call [show contact info] for more information. We don't need help selling or trading the vehicle. Price is negotiable when you come see the vehicle, but not over the phone if you haven't seen it.
