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.
Elegantly resurfaced in Agate Grey in 2017, this 1973 International Scout II Restoration features a steadfast hardtop that not only evokes the Scout's utilitarian lineage but also safeguards its cabin. A meticulous rear disc brake conversion and the addition of Bilstein shocks between the wheels exemplify the harmonious balance between comfort and durability. Outfitted with five brand-new Goodyear Duratrac tires, along with a spare, the vehicle is both ready for adventure and prepared for the unforeseen. Inside, the cabin is swathed in a black canvas adorned with grey accents and vibrant red highlights. Custom Corbeau seats provide modern comfort, while Bluetooth audio, upgraded speakers, and an amplifier elevate the auditory experience. The CPT dash panel kit and ISSPro gauges seamlessly blend vintage charm with contemporary functionality.
Under the hood, the original 304ci engine, now equipped with a modern Holley Sniper fuel injection system, remains the beating heart of this 1973 International Scout II Restoration. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this off-roader rekindles the intimate connection between man and machine. The thorough maintenance regimen, including new wiring, filters, and spark plugs, breathes new life into the engine and stands as a testament to the owner's unwavering dedication. The recent oil change further underscores this commitment to keeping this automotive icon in pristine condition.
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.
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 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.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
