While many Scouts have been modified or swapped, this example remains incredibly authentic where it counts:

• Engine: The legendary 196ci Slant-4. Often called "half a 392," this engine is prized for its torque, simplicity, and bulletproof reliability.

• Transmission: Factory 4-speed manual transmission—the definitive gearbox for a driver-focused Scout.

• Pedigree: The odometer shows 66kmiles, which are believed to be original to the vehicle.

Dressed in high-impact Comanche styling, this Scout is an absolute head-turner.

• Condition: A driver quality repaint was performed a couple of years ago and still retains an excellent shine. Door strikers could use better fitment as they stick out a bit.

• Exclusive Trim: Includes the original, highly sought-after stock chrome optional wheels. These wheels are rare survivors and add a level of factory-correct polish that aftermarket wheels simply can't match.

• Fresh Details: No expense was spared in the "buttoning down" phase, featuring new upholstery, new window seals, a new carburetor, and a brand-new gas tank.

This is a true "get in and go" town cruiser. It runs strong, shifts smoothly, and has the mechanical confidence that comes with new fuel system components and a well-maintained cooling system. I have owned it for about 3 years now and only drive it around my neighborhood, in town every once in a while and maybe to the store on occasion, haven't taken it on any long trips.

Note for the Purist: While this is a solid, reliable driver, there are a few small "button-down" items typical of a vintage IH to make it 100%—perfect for the enthusiast who wants to add the final 5% of personal touch to an already excellent vehicle.

These include: small exhaust leak, wipers not working, could use a bulb or two replaced as needed, gauges not all working or accurate (typical for scouts), and some other small things here and there.

The Chassis & Floors

The frame on this Scout is excellent and rock-solid. Regarding the floors: the underside is in "fairly solid" condition for a 57-year-old IH.

• Preservation Minded: The floors are mostly solid and have been treated to prevent future corrosion.

• Honest Condition: There are a few small "spots" here and there that could use minor buttoning down over time, but there is absolutely nothing falling apart. It is a safe, sturdy, and well-supported chassis that is ready to be driven as-is. PLEASE LOOK AT THE YOUTUBE VIDEO

Early Scouts are currently outpacing many classic SUVs in value growth. Between the excellent frame, the rare original chrome wheels, and the Comanche tribute styling, this 800A is a blue-chip asset that you can actually enjoy on the road.

This Scout is located in Suffolk County, Long Island, NY. To ensure a transparent and professional transaction, please note the following:
