1978 Nissan Patrol LG60

The Nissan Patrol has provided a winning combination of rugged, off-road-capable performance in a compact package ever since it debuted in 1951. This second-generation LG60 example was reportedly refinished in its factory shade of orange in 2020 and was imported from Columbia in 2022. Now located and titled in Indiana, modifications appear to be limited to a Pioneer stereo with Rockford Fosgate speakers, black 16-inch wheels, and some engine-bay trim pieces painted blue. With seating for at least four people thanks to the rear side-facing bench seats, this capable off-roader is ready to take its next owner and their family/friends on many new adventures.

This Nissan Patrol LG60 was imported from Columbia in 2022and reportedly received a repaint in its factory orange color sometime in 2020.The selling dealer acquired the vehicle in August 2022 and spent over $800 on service and repairs, including replacing the driveshaft, exterior lighting, and a lube/oil/filter service.

The first Nissan Patrol was launched in 1951, several years before its cross-town rival from Toyota. The second generation was launched in1959 and featured many variants, including the medium-wheelbase G60 station wagon seen here. The drivetrain consisted of a 4.0L inline-six-cylinder engine,4-speed manual transmission (early vehicles had a 3-speed manual), and part-time 4-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case. Series production of the Japanese-manufactured second-generation ended in 1980.
