Over a span of more than 80 years, International Harvester forged a strong reputation as the builder of rock-solid heavy-duty trucks. Along the way, the company consistently proved itself a worthy competitor to much more well-known manufacturers, and battled Jeep and Ford's Bronco toe to toe in what was then a fledgling SUV market. Looking rugged as can be, this 1972 International Scout II is a great example of International's prowess in the niche during that time. It is an ultra-appealing, robust workhorse that is sure to turn heads with its uniqueness and sturdy good looks. You can see right away how this Scout ably served as the precursor to the more sophisticated SUVs of the present, yet at the same time it's certainly unique, with its rugged, unapologetically beefy shape, ample wheel clearance and wide track. The attractive Blue color provides a really nice look and the paint sports a nice shine and a smooth texture. It's easy to picture yourself behind the wheel with nothing but blue sky above you, but for those occasions calling for more shelter, there is a quality white Softopper roof and windowed side panels. A hinged lift gate and a swing out spare tire provide access to the cargo area in back. 304 V-8 engine 4-speed manual transmission 4-wheel-drive Power steering Power brakes Softopper removable soft top Original wheel covers Upgraded ISSPRO gauges The blue cloth interior inside the doors is loaded with vintage appeal. Both the bucket seats up front and bench seat in back are in solid shape and plenty comfortable. The dash has been upgraded a complete set of ISSPRO gauges including tachometer and a Pioneer Super Tuner AM/FM CD player. The Scout's ample width means there's plenty of shoulder room for full sized passengers and there's a substantial amount of cargo space behind the rear bench seat. The engine compartment houses an assortment of components that appear to be original, including the 304 cubic inch V8 that sits at the center. Power steering and power brakes make cruising around town a breeze. It's an eager powerplant, firing up promptly and providing this substantial vehicle with surprisingly strong power with a smooth shifting 4-speed manual transmission. This rugged 4-wheel-drive classic performs its work on a set of classic 15" stock black steel wheels outfitted the original wheel covers and Hankook Optimo tires. Combining a distinctively rugged look with some bona fide collectability due to its rarity, this 1972 International Scout II would be a great acquisition for the classic truck enthusiast in search of a ride that stands apart from the crowd.
