Description:

This is not your Grandpa's Scout, at least not any more. With a Chevy ZZ-383 Factory Crate engine putting out 425 horsepower, and full YJ suspension, it makes for a very nice ride. I built this Scout to keep, and only used the best components for it. I wish I didn't have to sell my baby, but finances have dictated otherwise. I just finished building it, and it only has 300 miles put on it since all of the work has been done. Here is a list from the bottom up:
· Dana 44 rear end with factory Posi-Traction, new outer bearings and seals including pinion; 3.73 gears. Also new Brake Shoes, Drums, Flexible Brake Hose, and Wheel Cylinders
· Professionally Installed Jeep YJ Springs w/ new Greaseable Hangers and Shackles. They are much wider than the Scout springs, and have very nice Stable Ride to them
· Rear end moved forward so tires will fit in the wheel well better than stock
· Front axle also moved forward to maintain 100 inch wheelbase, and also to provide better Balance
· Front axle is a Dana 30 that has just been completely rebuilt with all new bearings, seals, and a new 3.73 ring and pinion, plus the same custom installed YJ spring setup as the rear. It sits at stock height, but it would be very easy to change out the springs to a lifted set if that is your thing.

This Scout Turns Heads like you wouldn't believe. It is Turn Key and ready to drive anywhere. The original windshield wiper motors, and vacuum switches are still in place, but they never worked very well, so I did not hook up new hoses to them. There is a very slick new system being sold now that replaces everything with an electric motor.
It will come with a Clear, Vin Number Matching, Oregon State Title in my name. I will be keeping my custom license plates. Other than the windshield wipers I am aware of no other issues with the Scout, and as with all used vehicles, it will be sold as-is
I will need a 500 dollar deposit immediately following the auctions close, with the balance due by way of cash, cashiers check, or bank transfer within 5 business days. All checks will need to clear my bank before Scout will be released. Please write with any questions. Thanks, TJ
