For Sale: 1978 International Scout II in Mansfield, Texas

1978 International Scout II

In 1902 the International Harvester Company was born out of the merger of multiple agricultural manufacturers and immediately took a large share of the US farm equipment market. In 1907 they entered into the motor vehicle race and gradually made their shift from farms to commercial transport. Later on they began focusing on consumer vehicles which brought upon the Scout. They were produced from 1961 and 1980 but after their hiatus will be returning in 2028 with a modernized version. This 1978 International Scout II is a beautiful example that has been entirely restored. The body is very straight and it is all rust free. It has been repainted in a metallic Orange that has a nice shine and is very eye catching. That is paired with a Dark Gray painted grill and headlight bezels. To keep a touch of chrome the original bumpers have been kept in place and they have a nice shine with no pitting or issues. The modified tailgate has custom block inserts with "Scout" embossed on the right side. The glass is all good throughout and is slightly tinted. It rides on American Racing mag wheels with locking hubs and off road Falken Wildpeak A/T tires.

Pop the forward lifting hood to reveal the rebuilt International V8 motor. It is nicely dressed up with painted International valve covers and is topped off with an Edelbrock 4 barrel and chrome air cleaner. It runs great and with power steering, power brakes and air conditioning is a very comfortable cruiser. During the restoration the front end, suspension, brakes, and automatic transmission were completely rebuilt so it is ready to go. Underneath it is very clean with a painted to match gas tank, painted to match shocks, and all new floors.

The interior in it is all custom with a price tag around $15,000. It is done in a two tone Orange and Gray with custom diagonal stitching on the seat inserts and door panels. The fun doesn't in there because when you look up is a beautiful custom headliner with custom courtesy lights. The front bucket seats are in excellent condition as is the rear bench seat. The dash has all been repainted and was modified with an aftermarket stereo and a Vintage Air AC system that blows cold. On the newly carpeted floor is the shifter and 4 wheel drive controls which function properly.

It has been driven very little since completed so the restoration looks like it was just finished. It has never been shown so you will be the first to unveil it to the world.

This fresh Scout could be yours for $49,950.00!
