1980 International Harvester Scout II
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1980 International Scout II. Finished in Saffron Yellow, this is one of the most solid and original Scouts we have seen -- paint is 90 percent original over an accident-free body with no known rust. This truck has spent its whole life in Texas and it shows. Never undercoated so there are no surprises underneath. While there is minor patina throughout (especially on the original graphics, which have slightly cracked with age), it's far better preserved than most "survivor" trucks. Recent upgrades include a custom front bumper with a 9,500 lb winch, a 2.5-inch suspension lift, a 1-inch body lift, and 17-inch Method Race Wheels wearing BF Goodrich 285/70R17 mud terrains (equivalent to 32.7x11.2 inches). The bumper, lift, wheels and tires give this Scout an updated look with an improved stance, while still retaining a great vintage feel overall.
The interior is completely original with Sierra Tan pillow-top seat upholstery -- there is minor wear on the driver's seat consistent with age and mileage, but the front carpet, rear vinyl floor liner, door panels, headliner, sun visors, steering wheel and headliner are all in very good original condition. Even the dash pad is crack-free (and the steel portion of the dash is still finished in original paint). All gauges are clear and working. Older AM/FM cassette stereo works but tape function has not been tested. A/C is still running R12 and blows cool, but not ice cold.
Under the hood is International Harvester's 345 cubic inch V8 mated to a TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission (with four wheel drive, of course). Mileage, at just under 94,000, is believed original. In addition to the recent suspension work and new tires, other service within the last 20,000 miles includes a new power steering pump, rebuilt steering gearbox, rebuilt rear axle, new fuel pump, new brake master cylinder and brake hoses, and a new Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. Window regulators have been replaced and most of the door seals, window seals and hard top seals have been replaced. Original paint and original decals remain in place in the engine compartment. This Scout runs smoothly and drives well.
The general rule of thumb is that the larger the lift and tires, the worst a truck drives -- but thanks to sub-33-inch tires and a fairly mild lift combined with a steering box brace, new tie rod ends and Borgeson steering u-joints, the road manners of this Scout are particularly good. It also has 2.72:1 gears making it more suitable for highway use than most. 1980 was the final year of production for a Scout, and it got the heaviest duty axles and also an improved transfer case with a shorter-gear-ratio low range.
They're only original once and this Scout is one of the best preserved and most unmolested examples we've seen. Thanks to decades of attentive maintenance it's also mechanically well-sorted and ready for its next owner to enjoy. Included with the sale are the original owner's books, line setting ticket and service records dating to 1994.
