Cosmetic issues: couple minor paint blemishes, some rust in the gutters, drivers side body mount could use some attention. It's not a body off resto, and it was never meant to be a show car; but this is one of the most complete, and well built Scout II's in Hawaii, and will continue to appreciate in value over time.
