ONE OF ONLY 500 GOLD SR2 SCOUTS PRODUCED IN 1970.
The SR2 promotional prototype special edition was only produced in 1970 for a few months. Most of them were red and the total produced was only 1,975.
Matching numbers 1970 Scout SR2 800A, with line setting ticket for documentation. 304V8, Automatic transmission, 3.73 differential gearing, 4x4.
V8 POWERED
Engine is the correct original one installed from the factory, engine block numbers match the numbers listed on the line setting ticket paperwork, which will be supplied to the purchaser.
All 4 VIN/Identification tags are matching; Frame number matches, Federal Safety label matches, VIN plate on left door matches, and original sticker on the underside of the hood is still present, with the correct displacement engine represented as "304E"
The 304 V8 rumbles with a deep tone and has a freshly rebuilt factory original Holley carburetor with automatic choke. Rebuilt starter just installed with new battery cable. Engine retains enclosed air cleaner, stock valve covers and both exhaust manifolds and intake manifold. Engine just had fresh oil and filter change. New oil pressure sending unit.
Correct drivetrain - Dana 44 Positraction rear axle, Dana 30 front axle, Dana 20 transfer case and Borg Warner automatic transmission. 3.73 differential gear ratio.
New gauges, both gas tanks, carpet, high back front seats, back seat and matching door panels.
NEW 2 STAGE URETHANE PAINT
New two-stage dupont paint with urethane clear (basecoat/clearcoat). Exterior trim was stripped and the body was prepped, primed, and painted with the top off. Truck was painted with the windshield out. a new windshield and new rubber seal were installed after paint. Factory style SR2 stripes were added to the sides and hood by a professional striper.
Interior door jambs and outer shells were repainted, full exterior, inside panel on tailgate, and tailgate jambs. The dash and transmission tunnel retain the factory gold paint that it came with.
New exterior chrome side mirrors on both doors. The SR2 models did not come with any front fender emblems besides just the simple "Scout" chrome script. All 4 chrome sidemarker bezels remain, along with correct grill trim and hood ornament. Exterior trim was cleaned with steel wool while removed and some new items were added, new reverse lenses and bezels and new taillight lenses. Hood ornament was repainted by hand. Headlight bezels were repainted in black as original
The white hardtop with its original sliding SR2 option windows has had new white paint applied to the exterior. The rear lift gate opens and closes as it should. As with most scouts, the door windows require assistance from the opposite hand when raising and lowering. Drivers door is pretty easy, passenger door regulator is worn.
The floors are solid as are quarter panels and rockers. Where applicable, floors were welded with new 18 gauge steel and supports. Floors have been coated with spray on bedliner. To the best of my knowledge, I believe that all body panels currently on the vehicle were original panels to the vehicle.
Frame has been painted in semi gloss black. Undersides of floors have been undercoated in black (was factory undercoated when new, per LST)
Dash appears as original, with 800 script still on dash. Steering wheel is original, and even the very rare factory AM radio still resides in its place.
Hard-top is fully removable with easy hand only fasteners and matching white sound barrier spray inside. Visors are there as well.
GOODYEAR TIRES 235/75/15. White letters face out, as the SR2s originally had. Factory chromed 15" original SR2 rally wheels remain at all 4 wheels.
STOCK HEIGHT SUSPENSION looks original
BRAND NEW DUAL EXHAUST
Brand new dual exhaust pipes and mufflers were just installed from manifolds to rear axle exit.
Brakes were just bled. Disc brake conversion done on the front.
I have the LST printout describing full factory equipment and SR2/Doll Up Scout. This is a rare find. 1 of 500 built in gold, a one year option, 1970.
Total SR2 production was 1,475 flame red units but only 500 in gold. Total produced was only 1,975. (International Scout Encyclopedia)
This truck is currently registered to us in the state of California, with current tags and license plates. No smog check is required in the state of California for vehicles built before 1975.
