STK 2920 1978 International Harvester Scout II

The International Scout was created as a competitor to the Jeep CJ series. Manufactured from 1961 through 1980, it was a predecessor to the much more sophisticated SUVs of today. Second generation Scout II models, produced starting in 1971, had distinguishing exterior features including an updated front fascia. This 4-wheel drive 1978 Scout II has received a full restoration. The body was professionally re-sprayed original Concord Blue in 2020 and it is an excellent 2-stage paint job. The full-length metal 'Traveltop' has been refinished in White and the blue cloth/vinyl interior was restored to better than original with high-back front buckets. Dashboard, dash-pad, floor mats, door-cards are all in very good condition and there is a full set of factory gauges. This classic Scout is powered by what is said to be International's 345ci V8 fitted with a 2-barrel carburetor. We do not have a history of the motor, but it appears to be 'as delivered' from the factory. These engines were workhorses rated at 165hp and 292 lb/ft of torque, and this one sounds very strong. It is backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission and 2WH/4WH/N/4WL transfer case with manual front hubs. The solid frame supports front/rear leaf spring suspension and period-correct custom chrome wheels mount 15” Yokohama A/T radials. The International is also equipped with power steering and power disc/drum brakes w/dual master cylinder. Put this Scout in your driveway and be the envy of your off-road friends. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
