The 1970 International Scout 800A is a standout example of rugged American engineering, offering a blend of vintage charm and modern upgrades. Recently undergoing a no-expense-spared frame-off restoration by a well-regarded International Harvester specialist, this truck is essentially new, rebuilt, or upgraded in nearly every area, ensuring excellent reliability and performance.
Powering this Scout is a rebuilt 304 ci V8 engine, now paired with fuel injection, providing a smooth, reliable power delivery. The engine is mated to a late-model Scout II four-speed manual transmission for enhanced driving dynamics, while the Scout II axles and spring-over conversion provide additional clearance for the Mickey Thompson 33-inch tires, allowing for an elevated stance while still maintaining a compliant ride.
The Scout is equipped with hydro-boost brakes, including front disc brakes, and power steering, ensuring that this rugged vehicle is easy and comfortable to drive, whether on or off-road. The exterior paint is finished in the striking Mayan Mist color, a subtle greenish-grey metallic that enhances the truck’s classic yet modern appearance. Custom bumpers, rock sliders/step bars, and a new Warn winch add to the vehicle’s functional and aesthetic appeal.
The interior, while simple and business-like, has been finished to a high standard with new upholstery, correct floor mats, custom gauges, and a modern stereo system. A full family cage has been installed, complete with three-point seat belts for both front and rear passengers, ensuring safety during off-road excursions.
This 1970 International Scout 800A is a rare find, especially when compared to the typical early Bronco or FJ40 alternatives. The unique combination of classic charm, original patina, and thoughtful upgrades makes it a standout in the world of off-road vehicles. Whether you’re looking for a capable off-roader or a unique collector’s piece, this Scout is the perfect choice.
