Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1965 International Scout
80. Finished in turquoise metallic with a white half-cab hard top,
it's an attractive and unmolested example that never fails to turn
heads. Introduced in 1960 as part of International Harvester's
Light Line of passenger trucks, the format proved popular (and many
say that Ford borrowed liberally from IH's design for its
first-generation Bronco which debuted in 1966). Original,
unmodified trucks like this one are increasingly difficult to
find.
Nice paint and body with good gaps. Truck bed and interior floors
have been finished with a color-matched bedliner material. Seats
have been reupholstered in light grey vinyl; steel dash and door
panels are in good condition. All gauges are working (including
backlights and vintage tachometer mounted on the steering column).
About the only thing not original is the modern stereo, with
speakers mounted in the sides of the center console.
Under the hood is IH's trusty 152 cubic inch four-cylinder mated to
a three-speed manual transmission - and this is only Scout 80 we've
seen with an overdrive (the lever to the right of the gear shift is
the overdrive control). Four-wheel drive with twin-stick transfer
case. Steering, brakes, clutch, gearbox, etc. all feel as they
should - this Scout starts, runs and drives great.
An unrestored full hard top is also available as part of the sale.
