Equipment
196 cid four, floor shift 4-speed, bucket seats, heavy duty shocks, cassette stereo.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Originally exported to Europe. Looks mostly original underneath with dirt and oxidation but no rot or serious body repair. Very old respray with masking errors and a few blisters as well as serious orange peel on the roof. Tidy interior. Pitted tailgate latch and the aftermarket tint on the rear glass is bubbling up. An eye-catching but driver-quality unrestored Scout II, and although the European export makes for an interesting story, it doesn''t make this IH worth any more money and that four-cylinder will struggle to do much more than keep up with right line traffic on the Interstate.
Market commentary
Scouts were cheap workhorses until fairly recently, when they became more popular for their vintage style and loud colors in the same vein as early Broncos, Blazers and Land Cruisers. This price would have seemed preposterous just five or so years ago, but today it’s perfectly realistic for a driver-quality four-cylinder Scout II.
