1980 International Harvester Scout II

This 1980 International Harvester Scout II was refurbished under prior ownership, including refinishing the body in Saffron Yellow, repainting the removable hardtop Winter White, replacing rubber seals, overhauling the turbocharger and air conditioning, and updating suspension (body mounts, polyurethane bushings, springs, shocks). Finished with white Rallye decals, chrome bumpers/side mirrors, sliding rear windows, and styled 15″ wheels with 235/75 Michelin LTX A/T2 tires (matching spare in cargo area). Warn automatic locking front hubs, front disc/rear drum brakes, and Dana 300 dual-range transfer case provide capable 4×4 performance; frame repainted with rubberized underside coating.

The Nissan-sourced 3.2L SD33T turbodiesel inline-six (101 hp, 175 lb-ft) offers torquey, efficient power through four-speed manual and transfer case. Turbo overhauled during refurbishment; drivetrain reliable with mileage shown.

Russet plaid cloth with brown vinyl sides trims split-back front bench and rear bench, with push-button AM/FM radio, added sound insulation, replaced carpets, and overhauled A/C. VDO pyrometer under dash; three-spoke steering wheel frames 85-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges.

Refurbished survivor of the final-year Scout II with rare US turbodiesel, manual transmission, 4×4, and period Rallye decals. Includes owner’s manuals and line setting ticket copies; clean Illinois title (“Mileage Not Required”). Acquired by dealer recently; strong driver-quality example blending vintage off-road capability, unique diesel character, and refreshed usability for collectors.
