Vehicle Description
International Harvester has an instant appeal with its
industrial-grade ruggedness. And that's maximized on this 1975
Scout II 4x4. It has the right off-road-ready upgrades to ensure
even a trip through town looks like you're in the middle of a
globe-trotting adventure. And as you look at the coil investment
everywhere from the fuel-injected V8 power to the self-healing
exterior wrap, you'll see a solid all-around investment in
delivering a capability that those "soft-roaders" can't touch.
This Scout has the right attitude for a serious off-road machine.
But while this is rugged, there's also something quite beautiful.
We're told there are only about 700 miles on this restoration. And
you can tell the difference in the clean look of all the details. A
nice black on the bumpers, grille, side tow mirrors, and full-size
spare on a swing-away mount. And the Method Racing 17-inch wheels
set the right tone for style and function. All this darkness looks
terrific set against a glossy Desert Tan, and the coolest part of
it all is that it's a 3M wrap over the body. This is a special
"self-healing" design. So it has a glossy and clean look that comes
from a recent application, and when you take this Scout off-road,
any fun you had gets erased as scratches disappear. So this one is
made to remain a proper fun off-roader that also knows it has a
pace of admiration in the classic vehicle world. There's even
plenty of spare vinyl wrap material that comes with the sale. You
can tell they took their time to ensure they got the details
correct, including the upgraded headlights and a full light bar to
turn night into the day out on the trail. It makes for a complete
package that likes to look good everywhere with the capability to
take you anywhere.
A proper Scout likes to be outdoors because that's part of the full
appeal of having an open-top SUV. So the interior continues the
robust style, and there has been a large investment to add comfort
into the mix. You see this so well with the seats. The fronts are
well-bolstered Corbeau Baja RS buckets designed to keep you planted
on an uneven trail. The rear is a Corbeau suspension unit with
seatbelts. There are handy additions like a Tuffy locking center
console and an AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth. This is
designed for outdoor life with liner paint and rubber floors.
There's also a new soft top and full doors with windows to give you
the right coverage when you want it. And not only does this have
one of the most comprehensive roll cages you'll ever find, but it
also includes features mounted to it like dual tactical saddle
bags, LED lights, a fire extinguisher, and plenty of grab handles
to maximize its usefulness. The river's seat is built to be a
command position with a sports steering wheel, TCI shifter, and a
full array of upgraded readouts - including the sniper EFI
touchscreen at the center.
Under the hood is an upgrade to Chevy small block power. This 350
cubic-inch V8 is nicely built with an Edelbrock intake, headers,
and topped with a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system
for the best in power and consistency. The cleaner/newer build
makes it easy to spot suitable supporting components, like the
Optima battery, Griffin aluminum radiator, and electric fan. It's a
robust package ideal for a ton of go-anywhere fun. And that's
precisely what this Blazer was built for. That's why you have beefy
upgrades like the NP205 two-speed 4x4 transfer case, Nitto Mud
Grappler tires, Bilstein shocks, full CPT (Crawler Proven
Technology) axle upgrade kit worth thousands $$$. This is an
impressive off-road setup, but this Scout likes versatility. So the
TH400 three-speed transmission is a stout unit that delivers easy
automatic shifting. And features like power steering, power brakes,
and front discs are the kinds of things that are useful on the
trail or just driving through town.
The sale comes complete with a digital file of restoration photos
and a highly organized build receipt file. And there's such a huge
list of info that we don't have all the space to list it all. So
please call for the full details. But you already can tell someone
used this to answer the question, "What's the ultimate classic
off-roader with no expense spared?" Call now!
