1979 International Harvester Other Base Description

FOR SALE: 1979 IH, International Harvester Scout II, (Scout 2) ; 4 WD...106k miles...304V8 with AC, PS, PB and 2 barrel carburetor...has Trak Lok locking differential...the Tartan Plaid interior is quite nice for age and condition...has lots of exterior rust as shown in photos...floors in front and back appear quite sound...floor in back is coated with a rust prevention coating and is very sound...vehicle is complete and factory original except for rims and spring shackles...engine was regularly run last, about 4 years ago...tranny and transfer case functioned properly and operated as normal...AC was barely cool, but worked...here's the abbreviated story: we bought this Scout out of Oklahoma as a second driver, and then other priorities emerged. My father took ill and passed away a year later, we had our first and second children and then bought a fixer- upper house and then my mother had a life- changing accidental fall ...so this vehicle took a low priority, and just basically sat in our driveway...it is currently actually registered to us and has a clean title, but I haven't run it in about 4 years. It will be a loss to us, and we are sad to see it go, but it will be a gain to someone else who has a need for a complete Scout to fix up or part out, and has the time and means. The reality of it is that this Scout will need repair and complete restoration. These vehicles are now quite rare and desirable. Selling for cash without warranty, as- is and where- is...buyer is responsible for transportation. This is also being listed for sale locally. We will be listing our other '79 Scout Traveller soon.
