1980 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER SCOUT II - FIBERGLASS

1980 International Harvester Scout Description

HERE IS A VERY SPECIAL 1980 SCOUT II. THIS SCOUT IS COMPLETELY FIBERGLASS EXCEPT FOR THE HARD TOP AND HOOD WHICH REMAIN THE ORIGINAL STEEL ONES. THE BODY TUB, DOORS, FRONT OUTER FENDERS, INNER FENDERS, WINDSHIELD FRAME, LIFT GATE AND TAILGATE ARE ALL FIBERGLASS. THERE IS ROUGHLY $10K WORTH OF FIBERGLASS PARTS ALONE IN THE MAKING OF THIS SCOUT. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS OF RIGHT NOW, FIBERGLASS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE GIVEN THAT THE MAIN SUPPLIER (KENTROL) DISCONTINUED THEIR FIBERGLASS SCOUT PARTS LINE ROUGHLY TWO YEARS AGO. THE ASSEMBLY OF THIS SCOUT IS VERY GOOD. THE DOORS OPEN AND SHUT VERY WELL (EXTREMELY HARD TO DON ON A FIBERGLASS BUILT SCOUT.) BOTH THE TAILGATE AND LIFT GATE ALSO WORK WELL. FIBERGLASS PARTS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR BEING HARD TO FIT TOGETHER PROPERLY. THERE IS LIKELY 100'S OF HOURS IN ASSEMBLY WITH THIS SCOUT. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT A REPLICA OR LOOK ALIKE TYPE BODY. ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE THE SAME AS A STEEL BODIED SCOUT. STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCOUT, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT IS FIBERGLASS. SCOUTS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR RUSTING OUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WENT TO GREAT LENGTH AND EXPENSE TO BUILD A SCOUT THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.
THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL CONDITION SEATS, DASH, FLOOR MAT, HEADLINER ETC AND ARE ALL IN GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH A NICE APPEARANCE.
MECHANICALLY THIS SCOUT CAN BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED IMMEDIATELY. IT NEEDS NOTHING. ALL HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, MARKER LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, RADIO, HEATER ETC ARE ENTIRELY 100% WORKING ORDER. ALL GAUGES ARE WORKING. THE FUEL TANK IS A POLY TANK WITH WORKING GAS SENDING UNIT. THE ENGINE IS A 196 4CYL AND IS ALSO 100%. THE TRANSMISSION IS A T19 CLOSE RATIO FOUR SPEED. THE TWO SPEED 4X4 TRANSFER CASE IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. FLY-IN AND DRIVE IT HOME IF YOU WISH.
THE 44, 924 MILES ARE DOCUMENTED AS ORIGINAL. THE PENNSYLVANIA TITLE CONFIRMS THIS FACT. THIS SCOUT IS ESSENTIALLY A ONE OWNER VEHICLE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER ONLY PUT 2000 MILES ON IT IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. IT WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO DID THE FIBERGLASS BODY.
THIS SCOUT IS A BLANK SLATE FOR ANYONE'S TASTE. IT CAN BE LEFT ORIGINAL AND SIMPLY ENJOYED THE WAY IT IS. GIVEN THAT THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE MAY NOT BE EVERYONE'S FAVORITE CHOICE, A 304 OR 345 INTERNATIONAL V8 WOULD VERY EASILY BE SWAPPED IN ITS PLACE. THE FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SCOUT IS COMPATIBLE WITH A STOCK 304 OR 345 V8. CALL MIKE MOORE AT SCOUTCO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SCOUT.
