1967 International Harvester Scout 800 Restomod

1967 International Harvester Scout Description

This is a RESTO - MOD build of a 1967 International Harvester Scout 800

I built in stages over the course of a few years. Im firm on my price as I have more than double into the build. My life has taken me down a different path and I need to let this build go on and hopefully the future owner will use it more than I have. I just don't have the time to drive it and hate seeing it just sit. It would make for a perfect beach cruiser.

The build was done by a good buddy of mine and well known Scout Guru... GARY BILLINGS, out of Conifer Colorado.

Lots of time and work went into removing and replacing all and all rust from the body and inner shell.

INTERIOR

The interior was then sprayed by line-x and everything that was removable was sand blasted and powder coated

The needs attention:

• does leak engine oil
• does leak Trans fluid
• Window trim felts and seals haven't been installed but I do have them
• the top has that rust I mentioned above
• we did find a pin hole rust spot near the accelerator when installing the crate motor last year WE DID address it and CUT it out and welded new section in and coated it but the area needs to be sprayed again by Line-X… again this fix has been reflected in the price
• Fluids are clean and all there but its been getting minimal driving time so fluids would be something to address for peace of mind

I think thats everything, Ill add items as I remember them. Honestly too much was done to the Scout to get it to where it is now and lots of small things might have been missed. If you have any questions feel free to email and we can discuss.

There are two builds on BinderPlanet posted By Gary Billings which include pages and pages of the build thread. I believe they are called the 30 day Scout build and another 30 day scout build. There is tons of info on those two Build Threads so if I haven't covered anything they are likely mentioned within there.

Thanks for looking and if you'd let to set up a time to check it out then give me a shout and we can schedule a time. The truck is located in Huntington Beach, has Colorado Title and its clean and in hand.

Needs a good new home

Thank you!
