Green Machine for Sale

Greeting Patrol Enthusiasts Worldwide,

I am selling my 62 Patrol. It is a no expense spared rebuild. It was not a frame off. It was just a rebuild of every component except the motor and transmission. The motor has spec compression and it easily took me to 12,500' last summer. The weak points are the sheet metal, paint and interior. The sheet metal was repaired from rust prior to painting. New Troa pans were welded in across the front floorboard. The exterior was professionally painted. I am not aware of anything that doesn't work. All known upgrades were included, all systems new or rebuilt, to name a few; MBC, wheel cylinders, bearings axles, SS brake lines, water pump, fuel pump, oil pump, hoses, radiator recore, relined fuel tank etc.

Search "Green Machine" on the forum browser and the lengthy build photos are there.

The front bumper and PTO will be replaced by a stock new bumper unless a buyer surfaces quickly. Otherwise the PTO will be going to my 66 Patrol. Perhaps the soft top will as well?

If you are interested I will show you the spreadsheet on it. It resides in Lake City CO, but I maybe bringing it back to Texas in May.

I have one interested party but timing is everything. I have over $30,000 in the 62 Patrol. Maybe $3-5k of that was improper mechanical the first time so I had it redone by a better mechanic. Though lessons learned from the 65 Presidio Patrol was incorporated in this re-build.

I will sell it away reasonably but not give it away unreasonably. It is a wolf that needs new skin to be good until the next ice age....which is what I'm experiencing now that my wife knows I have four Patrols. :shock:

I look forward to your messages.

It is a violation of the laws of physics to post a vehicle for sale, without a photograph, (especially when you still refer to the truck by it's former color... :lol:

So, if you'll indulge me, I took the liberty of selecting a couple pics of the (white) green machine that Mr. L60Boerne has listed for sale:

Thank you Rob,

Your help, which clearly was needed..... highlights the point that my road to the finish line is often far more circuitus than need be. :whistle:

If anyone cares the rebuilt name for this one is Command and Control Vehicle 5 (CCV5) 8-) , formerly The Green Machine. And it is trail proven. It is not a garage queen.

Patrolling again soon,

Greetings to Patrollees worldwide,

My 63 Patrol will be back in San Antonio in early June, if anyone is interested it is still for sale. But before it leaves CO it will complete the Alpine Loop above Lake City, CO over Memorial Day...providing the roads are open. No Patrol has better or newer mechanical parts outside the motor block and transmission which hasn't rebuilt but I'm thinking any Patrol capable of the Alpine Loop is fairly fit.

It comes with a newly rebuilt VZ42 carb, several VZ 42 parts carbs and a new VZ 42 rebuild kit, the last one known available from Australia.

Patrolling again soon,
L60Boerne

Curlrider, No, but I know where Canyon is...in fact I'll drive through Canyon next Sunday. I was not aware any erudites lived in Canyon, now I do.
Patrolling again this weekend,

CCV5 (Command and Control Vehicle 5) was in action today.

First it winched Presidio Patrol out of it's winter cocoon then it drug a random sleeper sofa someone put in our barn. :naughty:

Presidio is getting a Tesla boost tonight so it will be ready for action tommorow.

Patrolling in Paradise,
