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.
Seasoned International Scout enthusiasts use the different front grille designs to distinguish between Scout II models. The final year of production for the Scout, which our subject vehicle is from, received a distinctive single-piece grille design made of ABS plastic. This grille has an "International" badge on the left side and houses squircle-shaped headlights. Wearing a charming white exterior paint job, our featured 1980 International Scout II Traveler showcases black Turbo Diesel emblems on the front fenders and an "International" badge on the tailgate. Its current owner reports that it wears new Firestone Destination XT tires that are housed in black fender flares. The pickup bed offers ample space for your luggage and features a bed liner. The black leather interior of this 1980 International Scout II Traveler is functional and offers two front seats and a rear bench seat. The dash is trimmed with chrome and there are several horizontal analog gauges that evoke ‘80s interior style. The armrest doubles as a storage compartment that can be locked and there are two cup holders as well.
When you pop the hood of this 1980 International Scout II Traveler, a 198 cu in (3.2 L) Nissan SD33 I6 engine comes into view. This engine was introduced for the 1980 model year and produced 101 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It utilizes a 4-speed Borg Warner manual to send power to the wheels. Using the 4WD shifter right next to the gear lever, you can activate the 4x4 drive to get yourself out of tricky situations.

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.
The iconic Willys Jeep is a reminder of what can happen when military vehicles are the basis of inspiration for something aimed at civilian use. When World War II ended, Willys-Overland knew that the demand for military Jeeps would die. Smartly, they realized that with some updates and adjustments, this battlefield stalwart could offer fantastic utility to aspiring Americans, particularly those engaged in agriculture. Hence, the CJ or Civilian Jeep line-up was born in 1944. It was made until 1986 across multiple iterations, each one with many updates and enhancements over the last. Today, we’ve got a 1958 Willys Jeep CJ-5 from Gulfport, Mississippi for sale. This timeless classic off-roader has received quite a few updates, making it a fine addition to any car collection.
The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
The Toyota Land Cruiser: It’s one of the top off-roaders in the world, with a rich history dating back to 1951, making it Toyota’s longest-running nameplate. For many, a Land Cruiser is the best four-by-four, full stop. Others have made similar vehicles and continue to do so, but few can touch a properly driven and purposefully upgraded Land Cruiser in the truly rough stuff of the wilderness. Plus, the Land Cruiser has a distinctive reputation for reliability that few of its rivals can even come close to. There’s a popular saying “others may take you there but a Land Cruiser will bring you home”. So, if you’re a Land Cruiser aficionado or just looking to buy a weekend off-roader, check out this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod from Dania Beach, Florida. With a full restoration under its belt, this timeless machine has reportedly done just 185 miles since then, and packs some neat modern features too.
