This 1979 International Harvester Scout II was delivered new to City Sales Company of Wilkesboro, North Carolina and underwent a cosmetic refurbishment between 2016 and 2018 that included a bare-metal repaint in Lexington Blue, replacement floors, and a reupholstered plaid fabric and black vinyl interior. The truck is powered by a 345ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case and is equipped with a removable white hardtop, an under-dash air conditioning system, Kenwood AM/FM cassette stereo, and 15” white-painted steel wagon wheels. Work following the seller’s recent acquisition has included the installation of Dynamat sound deadening material, Rancho shock absorbers, H4 headlights, and white Rallye-style graphics, along with a rebuilt carburetor and replacement of the tires, spark plugs, bumpers, grille, starter, and fuel pump.
The truck underwent rust repair and was fitted with replacement floor pans prior to a bare-metal repaint in its current shade of Lexington Blue during prior ownership. A removable white hardtop is installed, and work following the seller’s acquisition included the application of white Rallye-style side stripes as well as replacement of the front grille, bumpers, headlights and bezels, and marker lenses and housings.
The 15” white-painted steel wagon wheels feature locking front hubs and are mounted with 31” Goodyear Wrangler white-letter tires that were installed during current ownership. Stopping power is provided by front discs with rear drums, and Rancho shocks were installed by the seller.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench that have been reupholstered in black vinyl with plaid fabric centers along with a black dashboard, door panels, and rubber floor mats. Dynamat sound deadening material has reportedly been added by the seller, and amenities include an under-dash air conditioner, a Kenwood AM/FM cassette stereo, and a center console with cupholders.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a turned metal dash panel housing a horizontal 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 85k miles.
The 345ci V8 sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Work performed in preparation for the sale reportedly included a carburetor rebuild, a tune up, and an oil change, along with replacement of the output shaft, pinion seals, spark plugs, air filter, starter, fuel pump, and fuel pressure switch.
