International Harvester Scout II (1979)
for sale

Price: US $3,000.00

Description:

Here's a rare chance to own a 95% original, running, un-modified, un-restored Scout II in overall great shape for it's age. I bought this Scout in Tennessee in 1994 and moved it to Texas in 1997. Since then it has been garage kept and rarely driven. There is no lift kit, no roll cage, and no custom aftermarket accessories added. You can restore it to it's factory glory, make it your own custom trail rig, or just spruce it up a little for a nice toy. It has the 345 V8 engine, 727 Torqueflite auto tranny, Carter ThermoQuad 4bbl carb, Dana 44 axles, 3.07 gears, Dana T20 Xfer case, 30x9.50 tires on factory rims, Skyjacker OEM shocks, rear step bumper, and deluxe black interior. It runs good, and has a current state inspection sticker for TX.
The window regulators and door locks have been replaced and work great, and I will include a new ignition switch matching the door key. I'll also throw in a NOS gas cap still in the wrapper. The interior is factory original and in remarkably good condition for the age. The dash is excellent with zero cracks. E-brake cables were replaced in Jan this year. The gauges and back-lights are working except for the clock. To my knowledge, the top has never been removed.
I replaced the original speedometer with a used one after it began to stick, so the mileage reported above is an estimate. The replacement speedometer reads 5077.
As this is not a restored truck, it does show typical wear and tear for a 36yr old vehicle with over 100K miles. There is rust in the usual Scout spots: rockers, lower body panels, and a lower corners of the windshield area. These should be repairable without replacing sheetmetal. It has been at least partially re-painted (original color) and re-striped at some point long ago by a previous owner, and has had minor body repair to the right front fender. The old paint in places has cracks visible up close, especially the hood and around the fuel filler. The rubber cab mount bushings need replacing. It has some slow oil leaks. The original heater valve is crusty and can't be opened/closed from the dash control lever. The factory A/C compressor is included but has been removed while replacing the alternator recently. Factory cruise-control is not working, and a new speedo cable is in place bypassing the C/C box.
