1967 International Scout - $13,500 - Las Vegas, NV - Meet Sydney!
Sydney is a great friend to have. He's reliable, well looked after, and tons of fun. Sydney is a 1967 International Scout 800. We have all the original documentation of the work done to him over his life, including everything we've done to sharpen him up over the past 5 years since we've owned him. He was bought in Colorado in 1971 from the Rocky Mountain International Dealership. He was driven around Colorado for a few years, then moved to upstate new york by train in the late 70's. Then, from what we can gather, sat in a garage for 25 years. Very little rust on the chassis. We bought him from a man who had purchased the truck from the second owner in Albany New York. The second owner had put in a 3" lift kit and did some terrible wiring. We worked with a mechanic in Albany for a year, and did a lot of work. Then we moved to Las Vegas, where we found an incredible mechanic who put a lot more man hours into Syd, including a completely new wiring harness with fuse box, brake lines, fuel pump (twice) and connected us with a local painter who Rhino-lined the whole truck inside and out in sea-foam green.
All of the spots of body rust have been sanded out, re-welded and painted over. He has a 4 cyl, 152 ci slant 4 engine (original). Transmission is original and in great working order, though top speed with current transmission is 50mph. It would be very easy to drop a different transmission into the truck and drive at highway speeds without concern. Syd also has a removable hard top that is certainly in working order, but does need a new paint job and a little love, though a new hard top is probably cheaper. The driver side windshield wiper are in perfect working order, but the passenger side isn't working. Syd runs 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. As was true with most trucks from this era, the first gear is geared very low, great for towing, and off-roading!
