1963 International Harvester Scout 80 Additional Info:
Hello all, up for auction is a 1963 International Harvester Scout 80. This vehicle has been upgraded in every way. The restoration is two and a half years old and took over a year to complete. Garage kept the entire time. Only 1050 miles were put on since the restoration. Here is a list of what has been done:
Mechanical - Added 4 wheel disc brakes. Power brakes. Stops with very little pressure.
Rebuilt transmission and new clutch. New belts, hoses, alternator, carburetor, air filter, plugs, rotor, cap, wires, and shocks. Completely new wiring, fuse box, lights, lenses, and bulbs. With all the changes, this Scout can do 60 plus miles an hour, no problem. New tires and rims. It shifts great and easily.
Body - This vehicle was taken apart, media blasted, and every body panel was repaired, replaced, or fabricated. No bondo filler was used. All new metal. New floor pans, and rear section is new. The paint that was used is a high grade Lexus paint code. There is not one spec of rust in the entire vehicle. And was redone in such a way that rust will have a very difficult time trying to find its way in any body panel or joint. The tailgate has been changed to a sculpted look. It can be changed back if you wish. The windshield has been raised to accommodate the higher seating position. The original (that has been completely restored) comes with the vehicle. New glass windshield. The doors have the hinges that are quick release. One person can take off a door and put it back on.
Interior - The carpet has been custom made for the drivers side, passenger side, and rear area. We used F150 seats with covers on them. They were chosen because the seat belt is integrated in the seat itself. Plus they are very comfortable and safe. The windows go up and down with no problem and the wing vents work as they should. All new gauges and an added gas gauge for the second gas tank has been installed. The roll bar and bikini top are a nice addition and keep the sun off of you when you wish.
In essence, this Scout is one of the best you will ever see and drive. During the restoration, no corners were cut. This Scout was never going to be sold. I was going to keep this for 20 years. And that was the mentality of this restoration.
If you wish to see more photos (I have over a hundred) can be emailed to you.
This vehicle is being sold as is where is. $500 deposit is due in 24 after auction. It is located in Naples, FL and can be seen at anytime.
