YOU WANT AN EASY RESTORE PROJECT THIS IS IT. I BOUGHT THIS SCOUT FROM A FORMER BOSS WHO HAD IT A HIS VACATION HOME IN NEW MEXICO. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD BROUGHT IT THERE FROM ARIZONA A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO ARIZONA SO AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS SCOUT HAS SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN ARIZONA MINUS A COUPLE OF YEARS IN NEW MEXICO I DROVE IT FOR 3 YEARS AS A DAILY DRIVER WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THEN BECAUSE OF FUEL COST I BOUGHT A MORE EFFICIENT VEHICLE AND PARKED THE SCOUT WITH THE FULL INTENTION OF FULLY RESTORING IT. . I REALLY HATE TO SELL THIS BUT I KNOW THAT IF I HAVENT DONE ANY THING WITH IT IN 6 YEARS I PROBABLY WONT AND I DONT WANT IT TO JUST WASTE AWAY. ITS TIME FOR A NEW HOME. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 6 YRS I DO DRIVE IT 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR AROUND THE BLOCK TO KEEP IT RUNNING.SO IT HASENT BEEN COMPLETELY IDLE FOR 6 YRS IT HAS A 345 V8 WITH 116K MILES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION( UNSURE OF THE EXACT MODEL BUT ITS A BIG MOTHER) A/C THAT WORKS ALL THOUGH IT MIGHT NEED A BIT OF A CHARGE(I DO HAVE A CAN OF FREON THAT I WILL INCLUDE) NO RUST ON THE EXTERIOR OR UNDER BODY THAT I CAN SEE IT RUNS STRONG NEW BATTERY HAS ALL SCOUT AND INTERNATIONAL EMBLEMS INTACT THE CARB/DISTRIBUTOR AND SPARK PLUG WIRES WERE REPLACED ABOUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE I PARKED IT IT IS A XLC MODEL. I DONT KNOW IF THEY ARE CONCIDERED RARE OR NOT BUT I HAVE ONLY SEE ONE EVER FOR SALE ON EBAY AND NEVER ON THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD THAT XCL STANDS FOR EXTRA LOAD CAPACITY AND THAT IT HAS A 10K TOWING ABILLITY REMOVABLE TOP THAT HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED THE WIPERS/LIGHTER/TURN SIGNALS AND ALL LIGHTS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR WORK. THE BULB ON THE REAR PASSINGER SIDE PARKING LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IT COMES WITH THE FOLLOWING INTERNATIONAL SCOUT II XLC SERIES SERVICE MANUAL A 30 GALLON FUEL TANK. I WAS GOING TO INSTALL BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT JVC KDSH71 200W STEREO WITH CD PLAYER/MP3 INPUT/REMOTE AND REMOVEABLE FACE PLATE THAT I STILL HAVE THE CASE FOR. 2 SONY EXPLOD 3 WAY DOOR SPEAKERS A KENWOOD KSC-7702 DUAL 3 WAY REAR SPEAKER SYSTEM BEING A 35 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND SITTING FOR MOST OF THE LAST 6 YEARS IT IS NOT WITHOUT SOME ISSUES. I WOULD CONSIDER ALL MINOR EXEPT FOR ONE. I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW IS WRONG WITH THIS SCOUT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILLITIES. THE SEALS ON THE TRANNY HAVE DRIED UP AND IT LEAKS FLUID. SO THE TRANNY WILL DEFINATLY NEED TO BE RESEALED. THE U JOINT OR COUPLING THAT CONECTES THE TRANNY TO THE DRIVE SHAFT CLUNKS WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR SO THAT WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF YOU CAN DO THESE THINGS YOURSELF IT SHOULDNT BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. THIS IS THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I KNOW OF THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED MAJOR IN MY OPINION. THE OTHER ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOWS: IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN OVER WHEN IN PARK. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NUTRAL. THE TEMP AND OIL GAUGE DONT COME ON. I KNOW THIS IS A ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS THEY DO ON OCCASION JUMP TO LIFE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND. THE TIRES ARE THE SAME ONES I HAD ON IT WHEN I PARKED IT. THEY STILL HOLD AIR BUT 6YRS IN THE ARIZONA SUN CAN CAUSE UNSEEN ROT. YOU CAN DECIDE BUT I WOULD CHANGE THEM I DONT KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT THERE IS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE INTERIOR. IT IS CONFIND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FOOT WELL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE CARGO AREA. I HAVE BEEN UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND IT HAS NOT. I PUT SIGNIFICANT BODY WEIGHT ON BOTH AREA'S AND THEY ARE BOTH SOLID. THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN FIGURE THAT CAUSED THIS IT THAT I DIDNT PROPERLY CLOSE THE TAIL GATE AND RAIN GOT IN DURING ONE OF OUR MONSOONS,GOT UNER THE CARPET AND DID ITS THING. I DONT THINK THAT IT WILL TAKE ALOT TO REMOVE IT. THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS ARE NOT THE ORIGINALS AND WHO EVER REPLACED THEM DID NOT FILL THE HOLES WHERE THE OTHERS HAD BEEN. I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PHOTOS. THIS SCOUT STARTS AND RUNS STRONG BUT FOR SOME REASON I DONT UNDERSTAND I HAVE TO PUT A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS DIRECTLY INTO THE CARB TO GET IT TO START. I CAN RUN IT FOR AN HOUR AND IF I SHUT IT DOWN AND TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN ALL IT DOES IS TURN OVER. PUT SOME GAS IN THE CARB AND AWAY IT GOES.PROBALY JUST A CARB AJUSTMENT OF SOME KIND NEEDED. THE WIPER FLUID CONTANER UNDER THE HOOD IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DONT REMEMBER FOR SURE IF THE FLUID PUMP IT SELF WORKS BUT I THINK IT DOES THE CLOCK DOES NOT WORK BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER PARTS OF THE TAILGAIT DO CLOSE BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LITTLE FANAGLING TO GET THEM CLOSED. I THINK THEY NEED TO BE AJUSTED THERE ARE A FEW MINOR DINGS AND DENTS THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS I HAVE HAD THE SEATS COVERED SINCE I BOUGHT IT BUT I REMEMBER CORECTLY THE APOLSTERY WAS IN BAD SHAPE THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE IS ORIGINAL AND NOT IN TERIBBLE SHAPE ALTHOUGH THE DECALS DOWN THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE HAVE FADED COMPLETELY. I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS HONEST AS I COULD. I WANT WHO EVER BUYS THIS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE GETTING. THIS SCOUT IS A PRIME CANDIDATE FOR FULL RESORATION OR TO USE AS A FARM OR HUNTING TRUCK. THAT WILL BE UP TO YOU. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.I WILL CHECK INONCE A DAY TO RESPOND. IF YOUR IN THE PHOENIX AREA AND WANT TO COME HAVE A LOOK JUST SEND ME A EMAIL AND WE'LL SET IT UP On Nov-28-10 at 16:41:19 PST, seller added the following information:I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE STEREO NEEDS AN AMP TO WORK..
