1st year 1961 International Scout 80 Red 2WD 4CYL 3SPD Truck

1961 International Harvester Scout

WOW!? This is a first year, 1961 Scout with an incredibly rare 2WD and truck top! It had a restoration done a few years ago and still looks and runs great. It is of course a 4Cyl and 3 speed manual transmission that sure is fun driving the back roads on a summer day! It's got the sliding windows and vacuum wipers (not working) that the earliest years of Scout came with. The paint and chrome are beautiful as well as the oversized tire set up. The body is very solid and straight and appears to be bondo free. I don't think this Scout would count as museum quality as it has a few tiny nicks, dings, and wear from use since the restoration, but overall, it's a beautiful driver. The floors inside were replated during the restoration, but as far as I can tell everything else underneath and on the body seems to be original and has no rust. It drives as smooth and quiet as you could expect a 61 year old manual with no power steering to drive. You'd never even know it doesn't have power steering when you're driving it. The engine has a little blow by as most older engines do. Condition is a very subjective thing, but to my mind I would call it an 8 out of 10. People will stop and stare everywhere you drive it!! The paint and chrome sparkle and it is the definition of a "head turner" everywhere you drive it! The odometer reads 35,579, but it’s stuck so I don't know the true miles on it. Please click on all the photos for larger versions and watch the video to hear it running. I will only accept cash on pickup and while it's very possible this Scout could drive to wherever you live, I would recommend a trailer since I haven't done any long trips with it. It's a beautiful and fun time capsule, but do keep in mind that it's a 61 year old vehicle on a few year old restoration. Please ask questions before bidding and yes, it has a clean PA title in my name!
