Very nice. I love the old gas station. The barn shot with the sketch filter is calendar quality.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Re: Sierra Patrol's 1967
Couple more photo's.
I have a slight mis after today drive, it had been sitting for 5 years, they cleaned the plugs and put some new gas in it and rebuilt the carb. I think I will pull the plugs in the morning and see what they look like, I put some lead additive in the fuel last fill up for the valves. I also have some exhaust leaks I think one or two at the manifold, Does anybody have any photos of the stock exhaust system routing or a thread link?

And you can look in the Brochures and find the post with the '65 brochures. This one: 1965_Datsun_Patrol_brochure_lhd.pdf has a picture of the underside of the Patrol showing the exhaust.
More great pictures!

Your exhaust looks close to stock at a glance. What tires are those you are running?

Tires are old school and ready to pop due to weather cracks Sears Roadhandler 235-75-R15's. I would like to run a skinny tall BFG KM2miksum56 wrote:Your exhaust looks close to stock at a glance. What tires are those you are running?

Re: Sierra Patrol's 1967
I'm in love, those pics are great, you would almost think they were taken 50 years ago. (just need to wipe some drool away)
You can post more pics anytime

Re: Sierra Patrol's 1967
So I have decided to do a quick tear down and restore this winter, since its a complete runner. This will make it easy, just take lots of photos, tear down repaint and assemble. I have a paint booth at my shop, so I know what I'm in for.
It's snowing here and just decided I want this thing like new for car shows and events this spring, so I need to have it done by May. Plan is make it nicer then that blue one that sold in Idaho.
