Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1978 International
Harvester Scout II Traveler. Finished in Lunar Rock Gray with a
period-correct graphics package and full black soft top, this a
nicely restored truck that never fails to turn heads. 17-inch alloy
wheels with a matte gold finish wearing 33x12.50 tires are the
perfect complement and look fantastic. GRC custom front and rear
bumpers. SSII grille. Optioned with power steering, power brakes
(front disk), four-speed manual transmission and a 345 cubic inch
V8 running FiTech fuel injection. Nice paint and body with a nicely
detailed underside and no known rust issues.
Interior is tastefully finished with GTI plaid upholstery on the
seats with matching door panels. Modern AM/FM stereo with
bluetooth, USB and aux input. Wood steering wheel. Roll bar with
three-point seat belts for both the front and rear occupants. All
interior and exterior lighting had been upgraded to LED. Interior
floors have been rhino lined for all-weather durability.
This Scout has seen a thorough mechanical restoration, as well -
under the hood is a rebuilt 345 cubic inch V8 running FiTech
electronic fuel injection and an updated distributor with
electronic ignition. Thanks to the EFI, it starts easily, provides
excellent throttle response and makes good power throughout the rev
range. The IH V8s are not typically regarded as high-performance
powerplants, but this 345 is among the strongest we've driven.
Flowmaster dual exhaust helps it breathe and delivers a throaty
exhaust note. Driveline, suspension, steering and brakes have been
fully overhauled with rebuilt axles, full brake job including new
lines, new front locking hubs, and more.
Few vehicles are more fun than driving a Scout on a nice day with
the windows down and the sides of the soft top rolled up. This rare
Traveler variant is the long wheelbase version of the Scout II,
with an additional 18 inches of space in the back. For more
