Exclusive: 1988 Nissan Safari Fire Truck

We’ve seen some cool vintage fire trucks, but most are simply too big to fit in the average garage. Well, if you’ve always dreamed of owning a bright red fire truck, but don’t own a massive barn to store it in or you want one that you can actually comfortably drive around town, this Nissan could be the truck for you! It’s covered just 7k miles and as a result is in great shape. It’s equipped with a 5-speed manual and 4 wheel drive, plus all kinds of fun looking gadgets! Message Justin G via the form below if you’d love to give it a new home.

What Makes It Special? Original 1988 Nissan Safari Fire truck with only 7k miles. Right-hand drive with a 5-speed and 4×4. Lots of cool gauges and buttons to play with. New tires that have less than 25 miles on them.

Body Condition: Body is a solid 7/10. Has a few paint chips but shows great. New tires and some fresh paint. Interior looks great.

Mechanical Condition: Starts right up and drives with no problems. Has a Manual choke that might need a little adjusting. Right-hand drive is a super cool way to get around.

      I’m starting to think everything on this site was here a year ago and I’m starting to think the BF readers are right when they say most of the asking prices we see here are insane

      There was one in March of this year, but it was an ’86 version.

    I would have to brush up on my Japanese reading skills to run the pump or get the control labels translated by the guy at the local Hibachi restaurant.

    If I had the 10K I would buy this rig and donate to some rural volunteer Fire Dept.
    Have close friend who worked many years for UN in many poor nations, he tells about how tough these rigs were, over built frames and suspensions, underrated for carry weight, run on crudest fuel, and while not totally
    maintenance free damn near, ; he has a bone stock no luxury items.
    He said many poor nations bought for their miltary.

      Thank you, I was hoping I wasn’t the only one to think that. Some California folks could sure use this. Drag a water tank around, could save a house.
