60Patrol

Ah yes, the very illusive Marks 5 speed. And this one is in the US even! Is this one of the few known in the US, or newly discovered one? More pics, please!

Wait, was this in that Rat Patrol you picked up?

The Patrol thats sporting this tranny and paperwork shown above wound up selling from Texas to Arkansas or vise versa. I'll have to dig a little to nail it down. I wanted this Patrol but distance scared me off.

So is it in Arkansas or Texas?

Yes it is. You know what they say, better lucky than good

It has some other cool stuff to, I'll document stuff as I clean it out.

Lots of body rot at the seams, so I may just clean it up for a desert exploring rig. I have the tag and motor numbers, and don't see it on the list. Going to take some cleaning to get the frame numbers.

Awesome. I love those kind of surprises.

What if it's still sitting in a wood box, just waiting patiently for someone to install it in a Patrol?

Is is still cool...?

Of course it is! Sheesh. Mine's still sitting in my shed, and I've had it longer.

Super cool

Hey I never asked how the box held up? Was it still solid when you got it? Did it look like it had a soft ride? I cant believe it was nearly 2 years ago!!

Oh yeah- the box was solid- Everything looked like it had a smooth ride.

I know - the time flies - and unfortunately, the older you get, the faster it flies...

I've got to get this 65 hardtop done, because after that, I'm going to start the restoration on the 62 softop, and I'm going to build my modified Patrol with the Marks5, both at the same time.

Hi all,

attached is the original fitting instructions for the Mark's 5-speed gearbox - thanks go to the previous owner for keeping this from 1994 !

cheers,
