The SUV market of today is one that's crowded with manufacturers looking to maximize their profit margins and adapt to the latest tech, but turn back the clock 50 years and what you would find is true off-road legends geared to take their custodians wherever they please, much like this lovely 1973 International Harvester Scout II we have today.
The "Scout IIs" were arguably the most popular design during the international scouts' 19-year production run. The iconic styling and classic SUV looks on this 1973 International Harvester Scout II are brought to life with a unique lime green exterior. Unlike many vehicles of its time, this classic American SUV doesn't sport chrome on every front; this gives the body a smooth and refined feel. Visibility is made better with LED lights up front, and drives off the beaten path are made better with open-top motoring; the current owner reports that a hard top is included in the sale. Ensuring you ride high off the ground and in style is a set of off-road wheels finished off in black and wrapped with a set of thick off-road tires. A custom interior speaks volumes when done right. Step into the black interior of this 1973 International Harvester Scout II, and you will find a mix of performance and original features. Custom upgrades include a set of Corbeau seats at the front and rear for a better performance drive feel, an upgraded steering wheel, a Pioneer head unit for your tunes, and SW gauges to ensure everything is in check. What's the cherry on top? Custom cupholders for your preferred drink of choice when cruising by.
It's commonplace to find modern engines like LS swaps present on SUVs from this era. In contrast, even though this 1973 International Harvester Scout II sports custom modifications on its exterior and interior, what lies underneath the hood is a period-correct 345ci V8 powertrain. The engine bay is finished off in red and sports redesigned valve covers to signify its old-school performance; the current owner reports a Holley carburetor and new spark plugs, ensuring everything is noticed. Power is sent to all four wheels through a three-speed manual transmission giving you more control on and off the road.
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.
With a legacy dating back to 1907, International Harvester carved its name in the fabric of automotive history by crafting trucks and pickups. Amidst its repertoire of agricultural and industrial machinery, the Scout emerged during a transformative epoch. Engineered to rival the Jeep, the International Harvester Scout became a dynamic player that reshaped the landscape of four-wheel drive vehicles. This off-road marvel graced the global stage in various iterations from 1961 to 1980. As the journey of the International Harvester Scout concluded, devoted enthusiasts embarked on restoring and conserving these automotive icons. The result stands before us: a meticulously restored 1973 International Scout II, an emblematic testament to the past.
