Equipment
196/111hp four, 3-speed, 4-wheel drive, Dana 20 transfer case, bed liner, hardtop.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
A few minor scratches on the passenger side roof and door. Overspray on the underbody. Otherwise very well presented, recent restoration. Originally a work truck at NC State and sat for many years. Now represented as 7,800 miles from new with a basic, truck quality restoration that was completed last year. Patina from its past life can be seen in the scratches & dings in the original brightwork. The interior is spartan with no carpet or creature comforts. The gauges and dash show chips and scratches from past use. The front and back seats look new. A good driver quality Scout with a lot of life left.
Market commentary
This Scout is better described as a usable and unusual weekend chore truck than as an object of admiration but it will stand out from the sea of Land Cruisers, and even K5 Blazers, wherever trucks gather. For that, it is a sound value at this price.
