In a nod to the past and with an eye on the future, 2021 brought whispers that the Volkswagen Group might resurrect the iconic Scout nameplate, a direct rival to the Jeep in its heyday before its discontinuation in 1980. The International Scout, known for its rugged off-road capabilities, spanned two generations and even teased a third with the Scout III SSV prototype. Among these, the second generation stood out for its exterior redesign and enhanced engine offerings. A prime example of this era is a 1971 International Harvester Scout II, boasting a formidable 345ci V8 engine. This vehicle has undergone a restoration, displaying a mere 5,380 miles on the odometer, ready for new adventures under the stewardship of an enthusiastic new owner.
The 1971 International Harvester Scout II is a masterpiece in Olive Green, seamlessly blending with the great outdoors. Its design, featuring a retractable roof that folds back toward the tailgate, invites open-air exploration. Distinctive features of the second-generation Scout, like the three-bar front grille and chrome-ringed headlights, set it apart. Riding on 17-inch custom wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires, this Scout II combines style with functionality. Its lifted stance ensures ample ground clearance for tackling challenging terrains, while steel bumpers and swing hitches enhance its practicality. The interior boasts a bed liner covering the entire tub, white-faced gauges, a three-spoke steering wheel, and modern conveniences such as a radio and air conditioning. Front bucket seats and a rear bench seat comfortably accommodate passengers, making it ready for any adventure.
Under the hood, the 1971 International Harvester Scout II houses a powerhouse 345ci V8 engine, also known as the 345ci engine, the lineup's most potent option. This engine, paired with a Borg Warner 3-speed manual transmission, delivers 182 horsepower, ready to tackle any challenge. The dual-range transfer case allows for power distribution to either the rear wheels or all four, ensuring versatility and performance in a variety of driving conditions. This classic beast is more than just a vehicle; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of the International Harvester Scout II, blending power, design, and rugged capability.
While other iconic nameplates of off-roading have continued to survive, such as the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler, the International Scout has fallen by the wayside. However, that doesn't mean this classic off-roader is any less loved. The Scout is so renowned that Volkswagen Group announced that they might bring back the nameplate with production models expected by 2026. In the meantime, we've got you one of the last 1980-produced International Scouts. This 1980 International Scout II Traveler is located in Tennessee and is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities. This fully restored example only has 40,000 miles on its odometer and is all set to begin an adventure.

The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
Classic cars from the ’60s are hot property. But it’s not just cars that have found their way into the hearts of enthusiasts. Humble work trucks like the 1963 Chevrolet C10 are just as desirable. With values for these historic workhorses climbing year after year, it’s getting hard to find good examples of these classics. Our featured 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside appears to be largely original and features a 230ci engine, with a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you’re looking for a well-preserved classic truck or the perfect basis for a restomod, this C10 could be the answer you’re looking for.
