Scout 800A History
The International Harvester Scout was introduced in 1961 as one of
the original sport utility vehicles designed to combine off road
capability with everyday usability. The Scout 800A produced from
1969 to 1970 represented one of the most refined evolutions of the
original Scout platform. It featured improved drivetrains upgraded
interiors and increased comfort while retaining the rugged
durability that made the Scout legendary.
The 800A was offered with multiple engine options including the
desirable 304 cubic inch V8 which provided a significant increase
in power and drivability over earlier four cylinder and six
cylinder models. Today the Scout 800A is highly regarded by
collectors and enthusiasts as a true icon of American four wheel
drive history and a direct predecessor to the modern SUV.
This example stands out as a thoughtfully restored and tastefully
upgraded Scout 800A that honors its heritage while delivering
modern performance comfort and reliability. A rare and compelling
opportunity offered by Fusion Luxury Motors.
