Vehicle Description
A classic 4x4 like this 1972 International Scout II 4x4 will always
grab your attention for its distinct style that didn't follow The
Big Three. And since distinction is the big part of the appeal
here, this one also has a sleeker exterior, a custom interior, and
proper V8 power.
The gray paint on this one is a terrific upgrade. It makes this
classic look as sturdy as granite, and that's what an International
Harvester was all about. After all, these were often sold alongside
industrial equipment. This rugged attitude is furthered by the
upgraded front bumper, classic Ramsey winch, tall 4x4 stance, and a
rear bumper with a tow hitch and electric plug. But there's a nice
feeling of added style here, too. After all, the paint was only
applied in 2019, and so it has a modern finish and smoothness. And
there are cool little details, like how the white grille matches
the removable hardtop. So while this is a sturdy-style SUV, it all
makes for a great sunny day cruiser.
The first thing you'll notice about the interior are the seats. The
gray has a premium appeal with its full custom pattern stitched
into the durable vinyl. There are custom diamond-stitched door
panel inserts and a matching full headliner for the hardtop. Even
the dash pad was upgraded to coordinate and the steering wheel was
painted gray. So it shows a solid investment in keeping this
International Harvester a unique machine. But you also never lose
the sense of a well-made American classic. There is an
understanding that this one knows how to get to work in everything
from the feeling of the shifter to the full liner paint protecting
the interior and cargo area.
International's own 304 cubic-inch V8 means a unique presentation
with the bold red block, and it also provides plenty of torque. The
V8 is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission for easy
driving. Plus, the power steering and power brakes add to this
classic cruiser feeling. Of course, the Scout's two-speed transfer
case and added lift in the stance remind you that this is a useful
4x4.
You may find areas to improve, like adding back the trim, replacing
some caps, or adding a stereo. But overall, this Scout II is the
right mix of rugged vintage appeal and some distinct modern flair.
