1969 International Harvester Scout

1969 International Harvester Scout 800 Offered for sale is a sharp, highly collectible 1969 International Harvester Scout 800, finished in an eye-catching Bahama blue with a crisp white removable hardtop and matching side and hood stripes. Powered by its factory 304 cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a 3-Speed manual transmission and factory 4WD, this Scout represents the golden era of vintage American utility 4x4s. Mechanical & Performance Highlights: Engine: Factory 304 V8 engine that starts easily, idles smoothly, and drives down the road nicely. NEW carburetor, NEW tune-up (carb running rich, needs to be adjusted), NEW dual exhaust. NEW passenger gas tank (2 tanks), NEW tires. Lots of other things new. Transmission & Drivetrain: 3-speed manual shifter paired with a rugged dual-range transfer case for true 4x4 capability. Odometer: Shows 98,000 original miles. Stance & Wheels: Riding on classic white-painted steel wheels wrapped in NEW (less than 100 miles) aggressive all-terrain rubber, complete with manual locking front hubs. Underside: SOLID frame and GOOD body mounts. Driver's side floorboard has been patched. Rear cargo area has diamondplate to reinforce it. It is nowhere near perfect under there, but it's solid and has been UNDERCOATED to prevent any further rusting. This is a nearly 60 year old truck, please don't expect showroom condition under there. LOOK AT PICTURES PROVIDED. Cosmetic Presentation: Features a very clean, attractive respray in vibrant Bahama blue complemented by side accent striping and a bright white hardtop roof. Solid body lines with clean chrome accents, aftermarket auxiliary fog lamps on the front bumper (not yet hooked up), and a rear step bumper with a hitch receiver. Classic utilitarian interior layout reflecting the traditional rugged layout of the Scout 800 series. Seats and dash pad are in GOOD shape as shown, normal wear. Vehicle RUNS & DRIVES as you can see in the video, but needs to be dialed in properly. Nothing major needed, some carb adjustment, radiator has a tiny pinhole that needs patched. I believe one of the valves has a tap and needs small adjustment. Basically it needs a good going over. Brakes seem to grab well and clutch catches, but again i'd double check everything before starting to use it daily. It's 90% there, waiting for a new owner to button it up to their liking
