Vehicle Description
International Harvester developed the Scout as a precursor of more
sophisticated SUV's to come. The only other 4-wheel drive
recreational vehicles offered at the time were Jeeps. The Scouts
became known for their ability to go anywhere and have high
durability. They are a key part of automotive history being
considered the first SUV. The Scout 800 was the replacement for the
80, it came with upgraded heating system and bucket seats.
This classic International 1968 Scout 800 came to us from a long
stay in the dry and sunny climate of California. It features a
fresh paint job dressed in a glossy red over a fresh black
interior. The interior was rhino-lined and given Corbeau seats with
a bench in the back. The gauges were also replaced at the time of
restoration. The power plant consists of a Ford 289 v8 mated to a 4
speed manual transmission. The Scout runs and handles as it should.
This sweet SUV was given all new wiring and front disc brakes and a
roll cage. The front and rear bumpers are custom and covered in a
glossy black finish with tow hooks. It is equipped with a tow
receiver and dual gas tanks which were re-conditioned with custom
caps. While classic SUV's are on a steady incline in value, this
4x4 is a smart investment or addition to any collection.
