For Sale: 1974 International Scout in Mesa, Arizona

International Harvester has an instant appeal with its industrial-grade ruggedness. And that's really maximized on this 1974 Scout II 4x4. It has the right off-road ready upgrades to make sure even a trip through town looks like you're in the middle of a globe-trotting adventure.


This Scout has the right attitude for a serious off-road machine. Everywhere you see black, there's off-road ruggedness. It includes the tubular steel front bumper w/bull bar, side rock guards, full roof rack, wide trailing mirrors, and rear steel bumper w/trailer hitch. And what looks like dark headlights in the daytime are really upgraded LEDs with lighthouse-level power. The body has been finished in a camo-style green. It has a distinct look that will really resonate with those who like the look of nature and like a vehicle that isn't afraid to come in contact with it, too.


While the outside has been done for a robust look, there has been a large investment inside to also add comfort into the mix. The premium two tone gray and black is expertly intertwined on the high back bucket seats, full-size rear bench, and side/door panels. It has a leather-like look, right down to the stitch, but it's made of a durable vinyl. This same kind of resilience is why you have strong rubber mats over the newer carpeting. There are nice features for added comfort, like the cup holder center console that also doubles as a lock box. And there's an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB and Bluetooth. You'll love slipping behind the wood-rimmed steering wheel, and you have a clear view to the full gauge package.


Under the hood is a stock presentation of a 392 cubic-inch motor. This was the big V8 in IH's arsenal, and so it's great to have in this beefy SUV. This V8 fires up eagerly as it inhales deeply from the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. And the dual exhaust with Xlerator mufflers has a proper V8 sound. The lifted stance and two-speed 4x4 transfer case give this the ability to keep going when the trail ends. But for those days when you're on pavement, this Scout obliges with good anytime features like power steering, front disc brakes, and a smooth but stout Torqueflite 727A three-speed automatic transmission.


Complete with build receipts, this is a great combination of distinction and utility with even plenty of comfort added in the mix. So it's time to grab this Scout. Call today!!!
