International Harvester sold over 500,000 Scouts from their introduction in 1961 to the final production run in 1980. This example is a Scout II which was produced from 1971 to 1981 and features a V8 engine and front winch. While there is some rust in the lower body panels, overall, this Scout II looks like a good driver. The Scout II is listed here on eBay with three days remaining in the auction. The bids have currently lifted the price to $5,100 which has not met the reserve. The Scout II is available for delivery within 400 miles of Grand Junction, Colorado.

The first Scout model was known as the Scout 80 and was powered by a 152 cubic inch inline 4 cylinder engine that produced only 93 horsepower. Later Scouts came with the 196 cubic inch inline 4 cylinder and a 232 cubic inch and 258 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder were also available. Also, a 266 cubic inch, 304 cubic inch V8, and a 345 cubic inch V8 engine (this one) were equipped in later versions of the Scout. This Scout is believed to have only 84,251 miles.

The interior is dirty but not in bad shape. It was purchased from the second owner recently who had purchased it from the original owner in 1993. The Scout II was originally green but was repainted red at some point. The paint is fading and the body has rust in the lower body mounts, fenders and rocker panels. The seller has performed a recent tune up and the vehicle is equipped with air conditioning.This Scout II has sat from 2009 to 2022 so there may be some bugs to work out.

International Harvester introduced the Scout 80 and produced it from 1961 to 1965.  In the following year, the Scout 800 was produced in three sub-models (800, 800A, and 800B) from 1966 to 1967. The Scout 800A was produced from 1968 to 1970. The Scout 800B had a short production run of only a few months from August 1970 to March 1971. It was replaced by the Scout II (this one) which had a 10-year production run from 1971 to 1980.
