EM2 INC. IS PRESENTING A 1979 SCOUT II FOR EBAY. WE HAVE HAD THIS SCOUT SINCE AUGUST OF 2007. AFTER PAINT, INTERIOR, EXHAUST, WHEELS, TIRES, LUGGAGE RACK, STEREO, IGNITOR II IGNITION AND MUCH MORE MISCELLANEOUS WORK, WE HAVE DECIDED THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WE ARE NOT GOING TO TREAT THIS VEHICLE AS IF IT HAD THE SAME VALUE AS ONE OF OUR EARLY BRONCOS. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO TO THIS SCOUT, IT WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE WORTH ANY WHERE NEAR WHAT OUR EARLY BRONCOS BRING. THE SCOUT IS A SCOUT II. IT COMES FROM THE FACTORY WITH A 345 V8, A 727 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, POWER DISC BRAKES, TILT STEERING WHEEL, AND FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. WE UPHOLSTERED THE INTERIOR WITH BLACK VINYL USING THE ORIGINAL PLAID INSERTS THAT WERE NOT RIPPED OR TORN. THE DASH PAD IS REALLY GOOD AND THE FLOORS ARE ORIGINAL BROWNISH RUBBER MATTING. THE STEREO WE INSTALLED AND NEW KENWOOD SPEAKERS DELIVER DECENT SOUND. WE INSTALLED NEW WIPER BLADES AND FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM TO -50 BELOW FOR ANTIFREEZE. THE TIMING MAY NEED TO BE SET AND THE CARB ADJUSTED IF YOUR STATE HAS EMISSIONS TESTING. THE ORIGINAL SMOG PUMP IS IN A BOX WITH THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS AND GOES WITH THE SCOUT. WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT SCOUTS HERE AT EM2 TO TELL YOU WHAT PASSES EMISSIONS AND WHAT DOESN'T. OUR STATE OF OREGON TESTS VEHICLES 1976 AND NEWER.THE ORIGINAL STICKERS FOR THE EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT, BELT AND HOSE ROUTING ARE LEGIBLE ON THE ENGINE BAY DECALS AND THERE ARE ENOUGH VACUUM HOSES IN THE ENGINE BAY TO WRAP AROUND THE WORLD TWICE OVER. HERE IS A SYNOPSIS OF THE CONDITION AS WE KNOW IT: BODY IS STRAIGHT AND THE PAINT IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. THE ENGINE RUNS WELL AND WHEN MOLLY FOLLOWED ME IT EMITTED NO SMOKE. THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND THE BRAKES ARE VERY GOOD. IT RUNS COOL AND HAS NEVER OVERHEATED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT(RADIATOR IS HUGE). THE AUTOMATIC TRANS WAS REBUILT AT A COST OF NEARLY $1,000. IN APRIL 2010 BY O.C. TRANSMISSIONS. RECEIPTS INCLUDED. THE EXHAUST WAS INSTALLED IN MAY 2010. THE TIRES AND WHEELS WERE PUT ON IN JUNE 2010. THE 4" SKYJACKER LIFT KIT WAS INSTALLED IN 2009. THE RIG HAS LESS THAN 200 MILES ON IT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2007. TO PUT IT IN A NUTSHELL: "IT'S JUST A GOOD OLD SCOUT THAT NEEDS A NEW HOME. TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS WE HAVE REDUCED THE PRICE SUBSTANTIALLY . ASKING TO BUY THE SCOUT FOR LESS THAN THE BUY IT NOW WILL RESULT IN A NO SALE. PERIOD. THE 1979 SCOUT DESCRIBED ABOVE "IS WHAT IT IS AND NOTHING MORE" JUST AN OLD SCOUT. IT'S A 4x4 TOY, A DAILY DRIVER, A SHOW CAR, A JUNKYARD RELIC, A CASH FOR CLUNKERS REJECT, OR A YOUNG MAN'S DREAM. YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND BEFORE YOU HIT THE BUY IT NOW BUTTON. IF YOU LIKE IT, BUY IT!. IF YOU DON'TLIKE IT, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON IT. DISCLAIMERS: THE 1979 INTERNATIONAL SCOUT DESCRIBED ABOVE IS BEING SOLD "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS" AND THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. IF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED SCOUT BREAKS IN HALF A BLOCK DOWN THE STREET, YOU PROUDLY OWN TWO NICE PROJECTS. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY INOPERATIVE ON THE SCOUT: TEMP GAUGE, GAS GAUGE, AND HORN BUTTON. THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR AND FAN OPERATE WITH THE SWITCH BUT DOES NOT BLOW COLD. WE THINK IT NEEDS A COMPLETE CHARGE BY A BONAFIDE AIR COND. SHOP. AGAIN, THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
