Frame Off, Mechanically Restored, Fuel Injected, Adventure Machine

1975 International Harvester Scout Description

Frame off mechanical restoration preserves the vast majority of the original design.The main goals of this build were to enhance drivability, reliability, and safety while preserving original character.The general aim of this build was to complete 100,000 maintenance free miles of reliable operation and adventure. Travels and explores any terrain at any altitude thanks to modernized computer controlled fuel system, conservative but capable componentry, and intrinsic off road ability.

Every bolt on this vehicle was turned as part of the build process.All surface rust was removed from the major parts, which were painted black. Nearly every component has been fully replaced with new or fully rebuilt.The body panels and interior have generally been left alone, but are in great shape; an inclined owner could modernize to personal taste or intent. Scout has been gently driven for approximately 750 miles, assuming engine break will occur at around 1000. Starts, runs, and handles flawlessly and reliably.
