Vehicle Description
In 1965, the Scout 800 replaced the earlier Scout 80. A few
variations were subsequently introduced, ending with the 800B that
was sold for just 10 months from August 1970 to March 1971. These
trucks were compact and affordable and were just at home on the
road as they were towing farm equipment. Durable and easy to work
on, they were a good competitor to the Ford Bronco and Jeep CJ.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this nice 1971 Scout 800B for
your consideration. Finished in International Harvester red with
white mirrors and white removable roof, this truck stands out in
today's parking lots full of grey blobs. The paint quality is
average, but the body is straight and free of rot. Factory steel
wheels, grey steel bumpers, and a trailer hitch round out the
exterior modifications. The interior is very spartan but features
items such as wind up windows, full instrumentation, glovebox, and
an aftermarket stereo. The controls are simple and you have a floor
shift 3-speed manual, manual engaging transfer case, and a large
steering wheel. New seats have been fitted and the dashboard is
very clean.
Featuring the 232cid "thriftpower" inline 6, this Scout has more
power than usual and is a good driver. This would make a perfect
beach or trail cruiser and will stand out from the usual Jeeps!
