(The red one is now the tan one. The red one is posted to show that I have spent $ to bring it to where it is today.)
In
the
20 years I've owned my Scout I've received dozens & dozens of
positive comments. Many comments from people saying that in the past
they also owned a Scout and regretted selling it. I took their
comments as a lesson, … don't
sell My
Scout!, ….
but unfortunately now it is necessary for me to part with my Scout.
Not something I wish to do. Money is tight for me these days and I
don't see the extra cash anytime soon for me to continue to make the
improvements I would like to make. (i'm self-employed and national
retail corporations do not support small business as they have in the
past, even though I have
better
prices and service than my competitors have.
MY RANT!! ) So for it to continue
to
reach it's full potential as a head turner it needs to be
in the hands of the person with the money & time to take it to
maximum coolness.
Improvements
I've made and new stuff: Radiator, Starter, Poly Gas Tank, Transmission (rebuilt-maybe 400 miles on it). Spray-on bedliner(rear
half), new seats & console (black denim), seat
belts, fender flares, front bumper, roll-bar, bikini
top &
full coverage canvas top
, large storage trunk included, Hood Scoop (not mounted), shop manuals. Car Cover, stereo/mp3, 4 barrel carb. Muffler
and exhaust. Sun-visors & lighted rear-view mirror., … and other
little this & that's.
No
hardtop, ... I never used it so i sold it. Parts
are not too difficult to find. The mileage is uncertain, speedometer doesn't work. The bill of sell when I bought it says 85, 000. In the 20 yrs I've owned it I may have put 15, 000. ?
You
can invest some money into this and make it YOUR fun & unique
“Head Turner”. It will never lose it's value. Check out the ones
that are listed for sale to understand better.
They aren't making
anymore, ... so keep the Scout alive.
In my previous listing I said it had some issues. I will explain. Most of the issues are really not issues, they are things that I would like to do but now can not afford to do. So for me they are (fantasy) issues, i guess.
(i'll pay shipping, maybe)
