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 OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
Today, RAM is a stand-alone brand of pickup trucks and well-known for its versatile array of tough, capable and yes, luxurious offerings in the full-size, medium-duty and heavy-duty segments. But before 2010, RAM was merely a model under the Dodge hierarchy, and the trucks were known as the Dodge Ram. That’s what we have here, a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 LT for sale from Baytown, Texas. This is a second-generation Dodge RAM and it’s done 154,788 miles so far. With its Cummins turbodiesel six, manual gearbox and replaced interior, it’s the ideal truck for someone looking for a decent workhorse, as well as a person who wants something a little different from the Nineties. Contact us if you fit the bill.
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
