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.

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.

Now here’s a veritable legend up for grabs in Camarillo, California! This 1948 Ford F-5 Flatbed Restomod is one of the very first Ford F-Series trucks to hit the roads, as 1948 was the launch year for the F-Series, now in its fourteenth generation as of 2026. Can you think of any other nameplate that has endured for over seven decades like this (OK fine, we know, the Corvette, but this precedes that by five years). This lovely vintage truck has a host of upgrades and boasts just 3,120 miles since then. It’s got a plucky 454ci V8 under the hood, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, a custom wood bed, and more to enjoy.
The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
The most popular Coupe Utility, the Chevy El Camino came in 1959 and was made until 1987. It wasn’t the first Coupe Utility, rather Chevy brought it out to fight Ford’s Ranchero. So what is this Coupe Utility business, then? Well, you take a regular passenger vehicle, typically a two-door station wagon, and chop off everything behind the front seats. Then, you make it into a pickup truck bed back there. That’s the difference between a pickup truck and a coupe utility; unlike the former’s body-on-frame construction, a coupe utility is basically a monocoque construction vehicle with an integrated cargo bed behind the passenger cabin. You can see it best in our photos, where this second-generation 1967 Chevrolet El Camino seamlessly blends in a Chevy Chevelle-styled front end with a distinctive, exposed cargo bed out back. This particular vehicle is now available in Tucson, Arizona having undergone a comprehensive makeover.
