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.

International Harvester, as the name suggests, was a maker of industrial and agricultural vehicles. The brand is long gone, as it is now a part of Navistar Corporation. But did you know that International Harvester also made passenger vehicles? Examples like the Scout, which was an off-roader made between 1961 and 1980. Well, wonder no more, because you can grab this 1979 International Harvester Scout II from Spring, Texas, and see what it’s like. The vehicle has done just 375 miles after a comprehensive makeover and comes with some upgrades too. For example, there’s a custom paint job, a reupholstered interior, an aftermarket audio player and more to enjoy. All that is move along by a stout 345ci V8!

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.
International Harvester, more commonly known for their industrial and agricultural vehicles, did produce an off-roader to rival the Jeep CJ between 1960 and 1980. It was called the Scout, and was available as a two-door SUV or two-door pickup truck. This red 1962 International Harvester Scout 80 from Beckley, West Virginia, is of the latter body style. With 46,241 miles on the clock and a 152ci four-cylinder under the hood, it’s representative of what a Sixties off-road capable pickup truck was like back then. It’s got a Warner T-90A 3-speed manual box, and even packs a Ramsey 8,000-pound PTO winch for recovery activities. If you’d like to own this quirky American classic, get in touch right now.

The 1937 International Harvester C-30 represents a time when trucks were engineered with a singular focus—getting the job done. Built as a heavy-duty commercial platform, the C-30 was designed for farmers, contractors, and industrial users who needed durability above all else. This particular example stands out thanks to its restoration and functional upgrades, including a hydraulic dump bed that significantly enhances its usability. Showing 40,906 miles, it blends pre-war industrial charm with practical capability, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone seeking a vintage truck that still serves a real purpose today.
The Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler occupies a unique place in Jeep history as one of the brand’s most distinctive and collectible utility vehicles. Produced for just a short run between 1981 and 1986, the Scrambler combined the iconic open-air CJ formula with a longer wheelbase and pickup-style cargo bed, creating a machine that was equally at home on the trail or around town. This 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler shows approximately 218,424 miles and presents as a charismatic example finished in red over a black interior. With its removable hardtop, rugged utility upgrades, and unmistakable Jeep character, this CJ-8 represents a classic analog 4x4 from the golden era of off-road motoring.
The Jeep CJ-7 represents one of the last truly analog chapters in Jeep’s storied off-road history, arriving before the Wrangler ushered in a more modern era. Produced from 1976 through 1986, the CJ-7 became one of the most recognizable civilian 4x4s ever built, blending rugged simplicity with removable-top freedom and genuine trail capability. This 1986 Jeep CJ-7, showing 158,355 miles, represents the final model year of the iconic CJ lineage, giving it added appeal among Jeep enthusiasts. Finished in a cheerful Sky Blue over a reupholstered tan leather cabin with a white hard top, this example combines vintage Jeep charm with thoughtful modern usability upgrades, making it a far friendlier classic to enjoy regularly than a bare-bones stock truck.
Built for adventure and reimagined with V8 power, this 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 blends the iconic ruggedness of the classic Defender with upgraded drivability and custom expedition-inspired enhancements. Showing 14,950 miles, this Alpine White example replaces the original powertrain with a 302ci V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission, transforming the traditionally utilitarian Defender into a far more approachable and versatile off-roader. Retaining its unmistakable boxy silhouette and legendary go-anywhere capability, this Defender 110 balances classic Land Rover character with thoughtful upgrades that enhance both comfort and usability.
