Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE This 1965 Scout 800 is professionally restored with over 1,000 hours of skilled labor. Completed in the fall of 2012, "Lucielle" provides capable on and off-road travel and attracts fond attention wherever she goes. Driving her is like stepping back a half-century, except the paint is much better.Mostly original but some changes made, including:Fuel tank: Original 18 gallon metal tank replaced with 10 gallon poly tank.Steering wheel: original was broken and replaced with a Grant GT wheel. Power Steering; My wife couldn't comfortably handle parking lot turns so power steering was installed by Scoutparts.com of Portland, Oregon. Things to consider before bidding:No air conditioning.No heater (they just didn't include them back then).Driver and passenger windows are a little stiff in rolling up.4 speed, manual shift, 1st gear isn't synced.Requires patience to gas up (modern cutoff systems in gas pumps require a light touch when refueling. At most pumps you'll have to manually control the trigger as the pump tends to shut off when run automatically.If you don't enjoy people asking about your vehicle, don't bid!

Final DetailsOriginally purchased for my wife to use around town. I sought something fun, safe and gorgeous. Spent way more money (over $50,000) and time (3 years) on the rebuild than could ever be justified from an investment perspective.
