1977 International Scout SSII

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1977 International Harvester SSII. This Super Scout is an honest and unmolested survivor still wearing its original metallic brown paint and original graphics, which have developed an awesome patina. 1977 was the first year of production of the SSII, a doorless-and-topless roadster variant which IH offered to more directly compete with the open-air Jeep CJ. This truck does have a few battle scars, but all sheet metal is original, down to the floors -- never restored, never undercoated and not hiding anything. Very solid floor pans, cab supports and rockers with no rust. Topside is also solid with only minor surface rust here and there. The only areas with rust-through are two small spots, low on the quarter panels in front of the rear wheels, on both sides (see photos).

Nice interior with original, crack-free dash (plus original snap-in defrost vent covers, which almost never survive on an SSII), factory AM/FM radio and original steering wheel. Gauges are clear and working. Seats recently reupholstered in correct material. Newer bikini top.

Under the hood is the original 304 ci V8 mated to a TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission (with 3.54 gears). The truck is equipped with power steering and power disk brakes. It starts, runs and drives very well. Tidy and correct engine compartment, and even the engine is in original paint with original decals present on the valve covers. Over $3,000 in recent service by noted Scout specialist GRC Fabrication, including carb rebuild, partial engine reseal, oil service, transmission service, brake master cylinder and service, and a full tune-up with Pertronix electronic ignition upgrade.

Stock suspension with new 31x10.50 all terrain tries on original steel wagon wheels make for a comfortable ride (and the stock ride height means it's easy to get in and out of). The current owner took this SSII on a round trip from Georgia to Ohio earlier this year for the IH Scout nationals, and the truck performed flawlessly.

Line Setting Ticket (the IH equivalent to a factory build sheet), period sales literature, owner's manual, and service records included with the sale. For more information about this 1977 International SSII for sale at Motorcar Studio in Atlanta, please call 404-692-5250.
