Up for auction
is a 1974 International Harvester Scout II, dark orange in color, great trail
ride buggy or beach vehicle!!
This is a great truck. Came from a private collection and always stored
indoors. Very rust free. Permanent convertible, it comes with no hardtop, though one could be added. Paint is very nice, stylish decals and runs like a top. Plenty of power for offroading but great speed and gas mileage on the highway.
This buggy also has a battery tender installed to plug into the wall for extended storage. The tires are practically new. The interior looks great. The engine has the common 4.0 jeep tick, but nothing to worry about. They always tick and still run
300, 000 miles. Just dont want someone who is unaware to think something is wrong with it.
GOOD:
- paint is very good but a few scratches (see photos)
- engine fires every time, havent had any issues with it not starting or
running. Runs amazing. I have taken many long trips (150
miles plus) and never had any issues, no overheating, nothing. Runs every
time, all the time.
- all glass is good, passed state inspection and all of that no problem.
- Has the new and improved ball bearing window crank handles. If you know these
trucks you know what I mean. (expensive)
- Has a custom stereo / TV / video player in the dash, works great.
- seats are in great shape
- 4WD works great, have driven it around the property when it gets muddy. This inline
jeep 6 cylinder engine will go all day long.
- chrysler automatic bulletproof 727 transmission, never any problems
- tires are pretty new, lots of tread.
- the shift boots are torn but there are new ones that come with the truck, I will try to get installed for the new buyer
- easily digs through mud, or goes 70mph on the freeway, no problems with
either. And looks good while doing it.
- complete inside is bedliner. If it gets dirty, just hose it out!! Seats are
weatherproof material as well.
- all LED lighting outside (except headlights)
- gets pretty good gas mileage since it is a 6 cyl
- custom bumpers can pull trailers from front or rear (or mount removable
winch)
- Stereo works great, plays movies and may have bluetooth as well but I havent
tried that.
- GM steering column, key lock and tilt
- center console (this is old and mounts are cracking)
- power brakes (no power steering)
- Rust Free. Let me repeat, RUST FREE. You be hard pressed to find one this
clean.
BAD:
- speedometer currently is not working, I will try to see if I can find out
why. Maybe just disconnected cable.
- gauges have been replaced with aftermarket, (I assume they are cheaper and
work better) but I have a box with all the original gauges if the new owner
wants them. Come with the truck.
- a few nicks and scratches, mostly at the tailgate how it touches the rear bumper
(see photos)
This is a great looking, great running 4WD buggy for someone who likes to
cruise with the wind in their hair. Take a look at others for sale and then
come back.
Keep in mind it is 43 years old and not a new car, but it is in good condition
considering its age. Very rust free body and chassis.
We do consider trades in the specialty or classic category.
