1971 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER SCOUT 800 800A VINTAGE 4X4

Description for International Harvester Scout 1971

HERE IS A 1971 SCOUT 800A. IT HAS THE AMC 232 SIX CYLINDER ENGINE. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. OVERALL THE SCOUT HAS AMATURE PAINT AND BODY WORK FROM A SEMI-RESTORATION DONE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. THIS IS A 30 FOOTER. LOOKS GREAT FROM A DISTANCE BUT HAS PLENTY OF COSMETIC ISSUES. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SHOW SCOUT OR ONE TO RESTORE TO PERFECTION, LEASE LOOK FOR ANOTHER SCOUT! THIS SCOUT WOULD MAKE SOMEONE A GREAT DRIVER, EAD TURNER, R FUN PROJECT VEHICLE. WE GET SO MANY CALLS FROM PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A REASONABLY PRICED SCOUT THAT IS BUDGET FRIENDLY - HERE IT IS.
THE BAD - IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE PAN. IF THIS TRANSMISSION CAN BE REBUILT, T WILL LIKELY NEED A DONOR TRANS TO GO WITH IT. IT IS AN ODD BORG WARNER AUTOMATIC AND PARTS MAY BE HARD TO SOURCE. FOR THIS REASON WE ARE INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING PARTS SO IT CAN BE CONVERTED TO A MUCH MORE COMMON THREE SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION - GOOD USED THREE SPEED TRANS, ELL HOUSING, LUTCH, RESSURE PLATE, LYWHEEL, LUTCH PEDAL AND LINKAGE. THESE ARE THE PARTS YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS SCOUT GO AGAIN. OR FORGET ABOUT THAT AND TACKLE THE AUTOMATIC TRANS YOURSELF.
THE GOOD - THE REST OF THE SCOUT GOES AS THIS - THE FLOORS AND MOUNTS HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE PAST AND THE WORK IS AMATEUR BUT STILL PRESENTS DECENT FOR A DRIVER QUALITY SCOUT. THERE HAS BEEN BODY WORK IN THE LOWER REAR QUARTER PANELS AND END CAPS. THE TAILGATE IS NEARLY MINT. THE REAR FLOOR HAS A WOOD OVERLAY THAT IS DONE PRETTY GOOD. THE REAL METAL FLOOR UNDERNEATH IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. I BELIEVE THE OWNER DID THE WOOD FLOOR FOR LOOKS RATHER THAN COVERING UP RUST BECAUSE THE REAR FLOOR IS NOT RUSTED OUT. THE DOORS SHUT DECENT. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS SOME DENTS. BOTH FRONT FENDERS LOOK GOOD BUT LIKELY HAVE PRIOR REPAIR TO THE BOTTOM. AGAIN, LL AMATEUR WORK, UT PRESENTABLE. THE GRILLE HAS A DENT. THE PAINT ON THE REAR QUARTER PANELS IS DULL COMPARED TO THE REST, T SEEMS TO NEVER HAD CLEAR COAT APPLIED.
THE ENGINE AND ENGINE BAY PRESENT EXCELLENT. VERY CLEAN AND NEAT AND NO APPARENT RUST ISSUES. THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS GREAT. THE BRAKES ARE WORKING AND SEEM GOOD, UT WE HAVE NEVER DRIVEN IT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE.
ONE PARKING LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN WE TESTED THE LIGHTS, UT ALL OTHER LIGHTS AND SIGNALS ARE WORKING.
THIS IS THE PERFECT SCOUT FOR SOMEONE WANTING A MODERATE PROJECT THAT IS BUDGET FRIENDLY.
