Exterior
The Tamarak Bronze and Winter White color combination captures the
essence of 1970s style, making this Scout II an eye-catching
standout among vintage SUVs. The paint, well-preserved and
original, exudes a richness that reflects the era's aesthetic,
while the Winter White accent on the roof and detailing adds
contrast, emphasizing the Scout's distinct, utilitarian design. The
body is in exceptional condition, with clean lines and minimal
wear, a testament to the careful stewardship it has received over
the years.
Interior
Step inside, and you're greeted by the Tan Bark Deluxe interior, a
warm and inviting cabin that's period-correct and highly original.
The wood grain trim adds a touch of refinement, setting it apart
from more utilitarian models and enhancing the Scout's comfortable,
almost luxurious feel. The seats, door panels, and dashboard are
all intact, showing minimal wear and preserving the authentic look
and feel of a 1970s off-roader. This interior is both nostalgic and
practical, giving drivers and passengers a genuine glimpse into the
era when the Scout was a top choice for adventure-seekers.
Powertrain and Drivetrain
This Scout is equipped with a 198ci 6-cylinder diesel engine, a
rarity for the time and a nod to International Harvester's focus on
durability and efficiency. Known for its reliability, the diesel
engine is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, allowing drivers
to feel fully engaged with each shift, whether cruising or tackling
tougher trails. The Scout's 4x4 capability provides the confidence
to explore off the beaten path, making it a versatile choice for
those who appreciate classic styling without sacrificing
performance.
Off-Road Capability
Built for adventure, the Scout's 4x4 drivetrain and manual
transmission make it more than capable off-road, delivering a true,
unfiltered experience of the rugged terrain it was designed to
conquer. With its original components intact and the integrity of
its 4WD system preserved, this Scout embodies the classic off-road
capability that made it legendary among explorers and adventurers.
Whether traversing trails or making a statement at a car show, this
Scout II maintains its status as a rugged icon with genuine
off-road prowess.
