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 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
The pickup truck is crucial to the fabric of American car culture, carving out a space in people’s hearts since the earliest models were introduced. This 1966 Chevrolet C10 is a beautifully restored example of one of Chevy’s most iconic pickups. Benefitting from a full restoration completed in 2024, this truck blends classic charm with tasteful modern enhancements. With a fresh 350ci engine under the hood, a new Turbo 350 automatic transmission, and a full list of refreshed components, this C10 offers a turn-key classic truck experience that’s both eye-catching and ready to drive.
