Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1978 International Scout Traveler, a well-optioned truck with a fuel-injected 345 cubic inch V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes (front disk), and air conditioning. A long-wheelbase version of the popular Scout II, the Traveler has tons of extra cargo space behind the rear seat -- perfect for kids, pets, gear, etc. And like the regular Scout II, the hard top is removable.

This Traveler was built about ten years ago by a Scout specialist here in Georgia -- it's mechanically well sorted and it runs and drives better than most Scouts due to the care and attention to detail of the suspension and fuel injection setup. Under the hood is a 345ci V8 running throttle body fuel injection and MSD ignition. Complete engine re-gasket plus full service and tune up approximately 15,000 miles ago along with a new water pump, thermostat, radiator, belts and hoses. The A/C system was rebuilt at the same time with a Sanden compressor, condenser, expansion valve and hoses. Rebuilt TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission with shift kit. Runs (and shifts) great.

The truck has excellent driving dynamics and ride quality thanks to a spring-over-axle conversion with the front axle cut and turned for six degrees of positive caster. Bushings, shackles, shocks, spring perches, brakes, ball joints, power steering pump, steering linkages, and reinforced steering box were all replaced or restored 15k miles ago. This is still a solid-axle, leaf-sprung truck so don't expect it to handle like a modern SUV -- but it drives great relative to other 4x4s of its era.

Interior is well appointed with comfortable and supportive Corbeau Baja RS front seats; the stock rear bench seat has been reupholstered in matching Corbeau material. Roll bar with three-point belts front and rear plus custom child latch bar behind the rear seat base. Modern stereo with four speakers. 12-volt plug and USB charges have been added to the back of the center console. Custom instrument panel with full gauge package. Interior floors have been rhino lined for all-weather durability; the foam rubber padding on the floors is removable (it's not glued down) and really helps with both sound and heat insulation.

Finished in desert tan with a black hard top and rallye stripe. Custom GRC side bars and bumpers (rear bumper has swing out tire carrier, plus mounts for a high-lift jack and a jerry can, both of which are included). 33x12.50 BF Goodrich all terrains on black factory wagon wheels. Upgraded LED headlights. This Scout II has great look but there are a few small dents and dings and battle scars (see photos) -- it has just enough patina to give it character without being ratty.

In July of 2017, the truck was driven from Georgia to Colorado to participate in the 2017 Rocky Mountain IH Rendezvous, winning second place in its class. It has lived in Texas for the last eight years and is now back with us in Georgia (this will be the second time we have sold this Scout).
