Up for auction is my 1979 International Harvester Scout II which I purchased from a guy back in 2008 who had owned it for 10+ years. He put a lot of time and money into restoring it to mint condition, but unfortunately I hit a patch of black ice back in March of 2009 and rolled it. It definitely has some bangs and bruises which you can see in the pictures and if you want anymore pictures just send me a message. There is minimal rust on the vehicle; I took a picture of the little rust that I found below the driver and passenger side doors. I was using it as my daily driver until the accident, and decided that I would use it as a parts vehicle a couple of months ago. It was cranking right up and driving after the accident, but a couple of months ago I pulled the radiator out. I have a radiator that was leaking in another Scout that I've tried cleaning up and repairing but haven't finished. It will be included in the purchase. The 4 wheel drive was working great the last time I drove it. I took the doors off for the summer and have not had time to put them back on securely. I only put a few of the bolts in on both doors so you have to lift them a little when opening and closing, but I did save all the bolts if you decide to keep the doors. When I rolled it, the front side panels kind of squished the hood in tight, but I have since worked the metal out and now the hood latch releases the hood everytime you pull it. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the back window above the tailgate doesn't close securely. All of the lights on the vehicle work, including the turn signals. Stereo with cassette player and speakers work, but I can't pick up any radio stations. The front windshield is cracked and pushed out the passenger side a few inches, but the wipers surprisingly still work! The only other broken glass on the vehicle is the window on the passenger side door. The interior of this truck is in immaculate condition. All seats are original, but the fabric on the driver and passenger seats began tearing so I put some racing seat covers on them. The back bench seat is also original and it probably looks better than it did in '79! The interior of the roof held up pretty well, but there are some tears in the fabric on both the driver and passenger sides, and a crack in the plastic piece on the passenger side that goes around the windows of the roof. The A/C blows cold air with force and the defrost and heat work well, but take a little while to warm up. This vehicle is currently not running and will need to be trailered home. This vehicle is sold "as is" and I am listing it locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Please only serious bidders. Full payment is required 7 days after the auction closes. Good luck and happy bidding!
