1979 International Scout II - $26,900 - Atlanta, GA -
This nicely restored 1979 International Scout II has a great look and great options, including a V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes and cold A/C. Clad in Persimmon with white Rallye stripes, paint quality is excellent (it's base/clear, not single stage) and all panels are straight with good gaps and good door alignment. Glass, grille, side moldings and trim are excellent; rear bumper is straight but has minor patina. Front utility bumper is fitted with desirable (and expensive) Warn 8,000 lb winch. A four-inch suspension lift gives the truck a great stance; Pro Comp alloy wheels with nearly new 33x12.50 mud terrain tires complete the look. The underside is solid with no known rust issues.
The interior is finished with International's one-of-a-kind Russet plaid upholstery; seats are in very good condition and door panels are among the best I have seen. Carpet is new. Dash is excellent with no cracks in the pad; the steel portion has been repainted and looks great. A modern AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input has been fitted in the dash and a dealer-style A/C unit hangs below. All gauges, lights, switches and indicators are working properly and all keys work properly.
Under the hood sits International's 345 cubic inch V8; all tune-up and service items are fully to date, including new plugs, wires, rotor, cap, coil, oil, filter, etc. The truck also just got new valve cover and oil pan gaskets, heater hoses, fuel lines and pump, thermostat, temp switch, exhaust, a nice Griffin aluminum radiator and a brand new Edelbrock four-barrel carb with electric choke. The steering column has been rebuilt. A/C has been converted to R-134a and blows cold. The V8 is mated to a TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission with Dana 44 axles front and rear (axle ratio is 3.07). The transmission was recently rebuilt and the transfer case and both differentials have just been serviced. The engine bay is very nicely detailed.
In short, it's a no excuses, turn-key truck with excellent mechanicals and a fantastic look. For more information about this International Scout II available at Motorcar Studio in Atlanta, please call 404-692-5250.
