1972 International Scout II

A company in Fort Wayne Indiana whose main business was Tractors and AG equipment thought they could build a better off-road vehicle than the Jeep. So that's what they set out to do. In 1961 they debuted the Scout 80. It would come in the form of a full hard-top utility or a half-cab and pick up bed. And what they figured out is that the American people were craving fun off-road adventure vehicles. The Scout II when it debuted in 1971 was basically Scouts 4th generation and the end of the Scout Era. Production ended in 1980 and to this day the last generation Scouts are extremely desirable and pricey.

This quite impressive Scout II is a drivers dream with strong performance, reliable brakes and during our test drive all the gauges were working properly along with lights, wipers, horn, and heat. Vehicle has a great look with the Cosmic Blue paint that is complimented by the 15in white wheels and 30in aggressive Wild Country tires along front disc brakes. Vehicle came out of Washington state with a short stint in Tennessee before arriving to GR Auto Gallery. The 4spd manual shifts flawlessly and engages into reverse with ease and the clutch engages with no chatter. Four wheel drive system engages into both hi-lo range and gives this Scout II many options for the trails, mud, dirt or snow.

Interior is very nice and original other than the steering wheel and stereo (inop), but seats are comfortable, roll cage is purposeful and visually enhancing. All four seats have seatbelts and rear cargo area is clean. Vehicle is easy to maneuver with the power steering and responsive brakes. According to the previous owner the engine, transmission, transfer case and clutch were rebuilt around 106k miles. Vehicle is believed to also represent the actual mileage shown of 115k miles.

This is golden opportunity to buy an appreciating asset, have fun with it and enjoy your weekends in style. The IHC market has been red hot these past few years and is considered by many to increase substantially over the next decade. Vehicle comes with original owner's manual and service manual, clean title, and box of some misc parts.
