This 1979 International Scout II is said to be mostly original and unrestored with the seller further adding that most everything works including instrumentation, switchgear, heat and even the stereo. A substantial amount of mechanical work has also been done with the description listing a rebuilt carb, new ignition components, some brake work, a refreshed cooling system and more. Mileage is believed original at 98k and condition suggests things have been cared for nicely over the years. Find it here on Craigslist in Roweltt, Texas for $12,800.

Exterior cosmetics look decent, but closer examination reveals a few dents, dings and associated rust where a previous set of bumpers may have kissed the sheetmetal. The rest of the panels look nice and straight, and the seller says paint and graphics are original-we dig the well worn patina. The frame is described as, “100% solid with no damage or rot,” the rear bumper is aftermarket and the seller lists a 2″ lift. Tires are brand new and measure 31″ while the wheels look like a classic off road steel design.

Diamond plating covers the entire floor, but the seller says the project started out as rust repair patch that was confined to the trunk. Door panels and the headliner are described as excellent with photos that reinforce the claim. The seats look great too, and the seller notes that the fronts have been redone in the original design. The dash has a few cracks, but the cassette stereo remains operational as does heat, most of the gauges and switchgear.

The Comanche 196 4-cylinder pictured below is said to be original, as is the 4-speed manual that’s coupled to it. Both front and rear axles are Dana 44s, and the seller says the the truck tracks straight and true going down the freeway at 70 MPH. The engine itself looks dirty and weathered, but a host of recent service has been performed to make it a reliable driver including rebuilding the single barrel Holley carb, installation of fresh vacuum hoses, belts, motor and transmission mounts, rear axle bearings, front locking hubs and much more.

Peripheral systems haven’t been ignored either, with a new brake booster and master cylinder both listed along with shoes, lines and other hardware. The rear differential was also serviced and treated to fresh fluid and new seal, while a valve cover gasket and electric fuel pump are also mentioned.
