THERE IS ONE PICTURE OF ONE OF THE SHEETSOn Jun-15-12 at 16:29:57 PDT, seller added the following information: New Info !!!!!!! I just went through the truck and checked it over real good one last time. I am by no means trying to sound like a used car salesman here, but this truck is actually in better shape than the pictures show. I kind of scratched my head and thought about cleaning it up, doing a little bondo work, and taking it to Macco for a quick $1000 paint job. I could probably sell this thing for ALOT more. But with respect to all proud Scout owners, I'm going to let the auction run its course and give the next owner a chance to put his own taste into doing the final touches. (I think that's part of the fun with these projects) I had one person ask me more about it, so I only thought it would be fair to include all parties with my answers. I recently bought this vehicle and used the buy it now option on ebay. Almost 6 hours after I agreed to purchase this one, another Scout popped up locally on Craigslist. I JUST HAD TO HAVE THAT ONE! I paid alot more money for it but was more than 95% complete. So out of respect to the ebay seller, I still purchased this one too. I don't need 2 scouts and the one I purchased on Craigslist already has every knob, molding, gauge, etc. Interior is finished, It needs practically nothing. It was owned by the same owner who is 71 years old and he bought it in 1981. He ownes storage units and kept my new one stored inside for the last 31 years. He's taken it to Alaska every year for the last 10 years and decided he was getting too old to make the trips any more. So you can see why I had to purchase that one. I think I had "Scout Fever" that day. I BOUGHT 2 SCOUTS IN THE SAME DAY! LOL! I did not strip ANY parts off of this one......... NOT ONE! Almost everything is there and ready for final touches. If I was going to strip anything, I'd take the front bumper and seats for sure! They're so much nicer than the ones in the other Scout that I'm keeping. This one you are bidding on was just driven over 200 miles in the last 3 days. So I believe it will make a long trip if the buyer is traveling a distance to get it. The body on the one you are bidding on is actually in very good shape and like I said, the pics make it look worse than it is. (at least in my opinion) Interior is pretty darn decent too. I tried uploading more photos but ebay will not let me since the auction already started. So that's the history on this one. My loss is your gain. Who every buys this will love it I'm sure. Feel free to ask any questions. I'll try and give a quick response, but my messages don't get forwarded to my phone so I have to check ebay messages every now and again. Good Luck!
