1973 International Harvester Scout II 4x4

1973 International Harvester Scout Description

1973 International Harvester Scout. Condition is "Used". This is a true unrestored survivorScout II from Northern California with factory original paint! It has been well maintained and drivenat least once a month it's entire life. It runs and drives well and stops on a dime in a straight line!
This 1973 Scout II has the original 345 V8 motor with an automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and is smog exempt in California.This Scout even has the original factory hubcaps in their original box that came with the Scout when it sold new back in 1973, and they have never been mounted! Everything works as it should including the original radio, however the clock does not work, and the gas gauge stopped working about 6 months ago. There is also a light out in the dash on the left side of the gaugecluster. It has a few cracks in the dash, and it has a small oil leak under the motor, and an exhaust leak on the passenger side of the exhaust manifold, however it is not bad or loud, but if you listen closely you can hear it.This Scout does have a fairly new exhaust system from the motor all the way to the back, with dual Flomaster mufflers and it sounds great! It also has an external oil filter mounted to the firewall for superior protection. It has a Holley 2 barrel carburetor that was installed about 5 years ago. It also has a set of Michelin 30x9.50 R15 LT 104R X Radial Tires in good condition with lots of tread left on them!
As far as the body and paint, it is as stated factory original / never been repainted, and that being said, it does have a few small dings and scrapes and even some light surface rust in some of the nooks and cranny's however it is very solid with no rot out anywhere that I can see... In my personal opinion you will not find a Scout this old with factory original paint as nice as this one!
I have included a pair of sliding glass windows, another set of hubcaps that have been used, the original hubcaps that came with this Scout when it was sold new back in 1973, as well as a few miscellaneous items that came with this Scout II when I purchased it.

A little history about this 1973 Scout IIMy best friend purchased this Scout from the son of the original owner who passed away. My friend owned it from about 2002 until 2014 when I purchased it from him after many years of asking him to sell it to me, and now I am selling it because I have decided to move out of state to live closer to my son and grandkids and will not have a garage to park it in anymore.
