International Harvester built some really special trucks, and we're excited about the chance to bring this one to you on Fourbie Exchange. This particular model is the IH Scout II Traveler, which is like the standard Scout II, only with a longer, 118 inch wheelbase. Complete with its hatchback style liftgate, this rig boasts a cargo capacity of an impressive 108 cubic feet—And yet still comes with all the capability and character of the standard wheelbase Scout II. This example has been exceptionally well cared for over the years, and we look forward to passing it to its next caretaker. Please let us know if you have any questions in the comments below.

  • The International Harvester Scout was one of the forerunners of the modern off-road SUV, produced by American manufacturer International Harvester from 1961-1980. The Traveler was a variant produced from 1976-1980 that added 18 in. to the wheelbase (extending from 100 in. to 118 in.) and featured a removable, hatchback-style fiberglass top. 
  • This 1980 International Harvester Scout II Traveler was acquired by the seller in June 2022. It was painted Bronze by the prior owner during a comprehensive refurbishment, and Rallye-style graphics flank both sides. It also features 15 in. alloy wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich tires, from WARN manually locking hubs, front winch, and rear receiver hitch. 
  • Power comes from the original, IH-built, naturally-aspirated 304 ci. V8 motor sending power to all four wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case. 
  • The interior largely stays true to original form, but with high-end improvements like custom black upholstery, ISSPRO gauges, GT Grant steering wheel, Kenwood touchscreen audio interface, upgraded audio equipment, and air conditioning. 
  • The seller notes minor surface rust and minor paint chips, documented in the photo gallery.
  • Clean Michigan title. The buyer will also receive spare keys and the original owner's manual. Recent service includes an oil change and installation of a new battery.

I apologize I’m new to this site but very interested in the beautiful rig! I see that it says titled in Michigan. But am I missing where it says the vehicle is actually located? Sorry really stupid question.

@roboviv Most CA classic owners use a Montana LLC to title and register in Montana with no sales tax, inspection or smog regulations. There are a bunch of companies online that handle the entire process 😉😉

Tomorrow is the day! Hopefully this Scout finds a new owner! I’ll be around if anyone needs any last minute questions answered or additional information!

I am sorry, but I can’t determine if it will pass California Smog. I know they are strict. I will pass TX state inspection though. Sorry I am not more help on that.

This thing is awesome. I know many don't like them as much as the normal Scout IIs, but...I think they're wrong.
