Up for auction is this sexy 71 Scout 800B. A true California barn find! It was brought to Arizona in August of this year and has what I believe to be the original Omaha Orange paint. A true survivor Scout that runs and drives great. Very nice body with only one small spot of rust on the entire vehicle. (See picture of drivers rocker panel). There is the normal surface rust on the underside but nothing that needs to be replaced.
Here is a list of recent items that were serviced:
Rebuilt original Holley 2300 carb
Replaced thermostat and flushed coolant system
New sparkplugs and wires
New battery
Fuel tanks cleaned and sealed
New fuel senders on both tanks
New fuel filler necks and gas caps
New master cylinder, front wheel cylinders, and brake shoes (front drums turned)
All fluids changed
Engine runs fantastic with no leaks or smoke, transmission shifts as it should, 4wd works as it should. All lights and gauges work. Parking brake works.
Overall a real nice Scout that can be driven just the way it is or makes a great foundation for a full restoration.
