"!962 Nissan Patrol. Arizona vehicle with absolutely no rust. The body is straight with no work ever done to it. It has new upholstery and a new bikini top. Mechanically everything is intact and ready for restoration. This is one of only a small number that were imported in 1962. I am eager to sell this to that one buyer who is looking for this diamond in the rough! "

My softy is a 62 and I'm a 1962.....no wonder I like the 62's so much!
I hope this finds a home that will at least clean that red paint off the door pulls.

Very interesting.

The tub height doors look kinda familiar to me!

Hey Mike,
That job on your doors is nice info. Would you post that again? I believe GSC was interested in seeing this.

All my door build pics and text went by my completely pulling out of the other site! I may try to throw something together someday...

I'm going to look at this tomorrow at the request of another member here... any special requests from anyone else? Pics, questions, observations? Let me know before 10 a.m. arizona time...

I bought that red 62 in Phoenix... They couldn't get it to start, so I told him I'd pay 2800, which was all that the chassis and body were worth to me; and he took it.

The body is super clean and solid, ditto the chassis- This one is very solid, rust free original steel.

Trailered it home, found a broken 12v lead to the distributor, and reversed the spark plug wires (they had the firing order right, but they had it going clockwise, instead of counter-clockwise) and it fired right up - 30 minutes of effort.

Unfortunately, the crankcase is full of oil combined with coolant, so I have to pull the head and see what's going on (praying it's just a head gasket).

This is actually the 2nd Patrol I've owned - I also owned a beat up blue 67 rust bucket back in the mid-90's that ran like a champ- I wish I still had that one now- I could combine the 2 into one killer ride.
