International Harvester Scout (1973)
for sale

Price: US $1,125.00

Description:

I originally purchased this Scout to restore it due to its lack of rust, but 2 days after buying it I bought a Travelall. I'm also in the middle of a '73 1110 p/u restoration so the Scout goes. Previous local owner had it for 20 years. Please copy and paste link to video for a detailed look at this vehicle. (youtube.com/watch?v=PSTFjEGUfkU) Arizona Scout II missing the head liner. I do have the interior side panels for the top. It runs but has sat for a while and smokes when started until oil burns off. Issue appears to be the passenger side head. The 2 bbl motorcraft needs rebuilt and it has spongy brakes. V304 w/ automatic and TC-143 transfer case (another reason I liked this Scout!). Sits nicely with a 2 Rancho lift on 31's and chrome spokes with a spare in the back. The seats are in decent shape, the front bench seat passenger side has 2 small tears (see video) and is parting at seams. For whatever reason, it starts with key and a toggle switch in dash (see video). As mentioned, I just bought it so I haven't worked on it and the brakes and carb are too bad to be able to drive it. I just dumped a battery in it and primed the carb to start it, typical IH!! Video is representative of unit, please ask any questions or for additional photos or video. I will be happy to accommodate. The only bondo we can determine is at lower right corner of driver side headlight. The only obvious surface rust is at the bottom corner of driver side fender (see video) and surface rust showing through the paint. The undercarriage, body wedges and sills are also very clean as seen in the video. Honestly, I hate to let it go. Its one of the cleanest Scouts I've seen in a long while, even here in Tucson.
