Nissan Patrol Submodels
The Nissan Patrol has been a global competitor to the Toyota Land Cruiser since 1951, earning a reputation for extreme durability. Early models like the 60 series are prized for their classic looks and simple, tough-as-nails construction, making them popular restoration candidates. Later generations, especially the Y60 (1987-1997), brought coil-spring suspension and the legendary TD42 diesel engine, blending modern comfort with old-school reliability.
Collectors are drawn to the Patrol's rugged authenticity and its relative affordability compared to its Toyota rival. Imported Japanese-market "Safari" models are particularly sought after for their high-spec options and rust-free condition. The market is active, with values steadily climbing for well-preserved, low-mileage, and tastefully modified examples from all eras.
The current market shows a wide spread, with an average price around $16,000. This reflects the variety of vehicles sold, from tired project trucks to pristine, imported diesel models. As interest in vintage 4x4s continues to grow, clean and original Patrols are becoming a solid investment for enthusiasts.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest issue. Check the chassis rails, especially around the rear spring hangers, along with the roof gutters, firewall, and floor pans.
- On popular TD42 diesel models, check for signs of past overheating, which can lead to cracked cylinder heads. Look for coolant stains and check oil for contamination.
- Many Patrols are heavily modified. Inspect the quality of suspension lifts, engine accessories, and electrical work, as poor modifications can be costly to fix.
- Test the drivetrain thoroughly. Engage 4WD and low-range to ensure they work smoothly. On coil-sprung models, watch for steering shimmy or "death wobbles" which can indicate worn swivel hub bearings or other front-end issues.
Prices range from around $1,350 for project vehicles to over $41,500 for restored or highly desirable imported models.
