JLPurcell Posted September 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 14, 2011 I have may hat in my hand! I am looking at a Datsun Patrol in the RENO area. Is there any member in the area willing to take a look at a vehicle for me? I just want someone to put eyes on to make sure I am not being scammed :pirate:before I send out the cash. If you can please PM me. Thanks Jerry Purcell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted September 14, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 14, 2011 Jerry,I am newly in the Reno area. I go back to work tomorrow and that is pretty much all I can accomplish for the next 6 days but after next Tuesday, I start my every other week 8 day vacation and could look at it for you. Not really in to Datsun Patrol, in fact I am not even sure what one looks like but I do know what rust looks like and I can hear a rod knock pretty well...

zed2 Posted September 15, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2011 Rob,The main mechanical parts that are hard to replace include the carb, distributor, heater core, wiper motor(s), door lock mechanisms, and window regulators. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is rough but looks to be solid and most of the parts are there. It does not run but does turn over. The current owner obtained it at a storage auction. He is currently in the hospital but said the vehicle was accessible. I don't want to inconvenience you so if the location is too far from you don't hesitate to beg off.Thanks JLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
