Up for sale is my beloved 1979 International Harvester Scout II Rallye 4x4. This truck has been extremely well cared for and is in excellent condition throughout. She has the original 345 CI engine that has been recently rebuilt and resealed. Rebuilt automatic 727 transmission. Both engine and transmission rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago. This truck runs and drives great. Comfortably cruises at 75MPH with only 2 fingers on the steering wheel. I would not hesitate to jump in her and drive across the country right now! This truck has always been babied and garage kept. Below is a list of all the specs, modifications and accessories that have gone into her. I truly hate to sell her, but I have a 2 month old baby and unfortunately she has to go….the truck that is. J This truck gets tons of attention and compliments everywhere I go! This is a beautiful example of a well built and tastefully customized Scout II. I have built this truck with an open checkbook! A Scout II in this condition, built this well is an extremely rare sight.
