The Scout was developed and ultimately produced in less than two years time -- a remarkable achievement in the automotive industry in the 60's. The Scout line was formally introduced to the public on January 18, 1961. The first Scout to roll off the production line was available in both 2WD and 4WD versions. The engine was a 93 hp 4 cylinder engine, with 3 speed, floor mounted transmission. In 1967, the first Scout V-8 was built, powered with a 266 cubic inch engine. Scout 80 Scout 80 was the model designation for the early model Scouts (1961-mid-1965). They had sliding windows, a 152 4 cyl. engine, a fold-down windshield, vacuum windshield wipers at the top of the windshield and an IH logo in the center of the grill. Scout 800 Scout 800 was the model designation for Scouts produced from late-1965 to mid-1971. They were manufactured with more creature comforts and had a fixed windshield, fancier bucket seats, windshield wipers located at the bottom of the windshield, an optional 196 4-cyl., 232 Inline-6, 266 V-8 or even a 304 V-8 in the 1969 and newer models, and an International nameplate versus the IH logo on the grill. SCOUT II The Scout II debuted in April of 1971 and incorporated many vehicle improvements. In 1973 the 196 4-cylinder engine was dropped from the Scout line. However, the energy crisis caused International to reintroduce the 196 4-cylinder engine to the Scout line in 1974. The last Scout rolled off the assembly line on October 21, 1980. In November of 1977, a Scout S.S. II driven by Jerry L. Boone of Parker, Arizona, finished first among 4WD production vehicles in the Baja 1000 -- one of the most challenging of all off-road competitions. Boone crossed the finish line almost two hours ahead of his closest competitor -- a Jeep CJ7. Boone completed the run in only 19 hours and 58 minutes. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A RESTORED 1975 INTERNATIONAL SCOUT II, AND A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS BEAUTIFUL SCOUT THAT WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF DRIVING ENJOYMENT AND PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP! See my 442 100% feedback rating BID WITH CONFIDENCE! NO DISAPPOINTMENTS! READY TO SHOW & DRIVE! BID TO WIN! Vehicle Condition: THIS 1975 SCOUT HAS BEEN LOVINGLY CARED FOR SINCE NEW. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT. THIS SCOUT IS A REAL PLEASURE TO DRIVE. THE V-8 ENGINE PROVIDES SMOOTH AND POWERFUL ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECTLY. This Scout is nearly 37 years old, so some minor signs of age are to be expected! The new paint job is spectacular! There are no chips or touch-ups that I could find. The exterior chrome is all new, so this Scout looks great! There are two very small door dings that are barely noticeable. I believe they can be easily and inexpensively removed by a paintless dent remover for about $75. The interior is in great condition, as most of it is brand new! The paint, padded dash, seat covers, door panels, etc are all brand new! To the best of my knowledge, this Scout needs nothing mechanically. THIS IS A SUPER NICE CORRECT 1975 SCOUT II THAT IS READY TO BE ENJOYED TODAY! Note that the mileage listed above is shown as 0000 miles since the restoration was just completed. The engine and transmission were rebuilt 2000 miles ago. The actual odometer reading is 28,270 and is not necessarily the total mileage on the vehicle. Terms of Sale: BIDS ARE BINDING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK THEM PRIOR TO BIDDING.

The name of the color on this Scout is called "OMAHA ORANGE". Sorry for the confusion on the color. I kind of left that determination up to the individual bidder's eye.
