800A V8 "SURVIVOR" NEW INTERIOR. 4 SPEED, FORD BRONCO PROGENITOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE 1969 INTERNATIONAL SCOUT 800A 304V8 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION TRAVELTOP
THIS IS A RARE FIND, A VERY SOUGHT AFTER SCOUT - THE PINNACLE OF THE EARLY MODELS. FINDING AN INTERNATIONAL SCOUT 800A IN THIS KIND OF ORIGINAL CONDITION HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT. MOST OF THEM ARE MODIFIED, OR HAVE LONG SINCE TURNED TO DUST. THIS ONE REMAINS IN ABOUT AS CLOSE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION AS I HAVE SEEN. HAS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL EMBLEMS AND DASHBOARD ITEMS, FROM WHAT I CAN SEE. JUST FINDING THE "V" FENDER EMBLEMS FOR THIS MODEL HAS BECOME A CHORE, AND THESE ARE STILL INTACT, AS IS THE FACTORY STEERING WHEEL, HORN BUTTON, DASH PAD, TRIM, 800A LABELING ON DASH,ORNAMENTS, ETC :) A SOLID LITTLE MACHINE WITH A GREAT RUNNING 304 V8 ENGINE. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY SOLID AND ORIGINAL FIND. MOSTLY ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WITH A FEW IMPROVEMENTS. THIS SCOUT 800 IS STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL COLOR THE 304 ENGINE HAS A 2 BARREL CARBURETOR, FACTORY AIR CLEANER, INTAKE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. ORIGINAL IH RADIATOR WITH GREEN COOLANT. DUAL EXHAUST WITH FULL TAILPIPES. AT THE TURN OF THE KEY WITH TWO PUMPS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THIS ENGINE COMES ALIVE AND HAS A NICE EVEN TONE. I DROVE IT TODAY AND IT RAN JUST FANTASTIC. I STOPPED AND STARTED IT ABOUT 8 TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT LIT UP WITH NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER. I THINK IT RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT!
THE CLUTCH AND TRANS FELT GOOD, TRANS WAS RUN THROUGH ALL RANGES WITH NO UNUSUAL NOISE OR PERFORMANCE. THE CLUTCH ENGAGED QUICKLY AND THE ENGINE PULLED VERY STRONG WITHOUT ANY DETECTED SMOKE OUT THE TAILPIPE OR NOISES OTHER THAN A NICE SMOOTH EVEN PURR OUT THE EXHAUST. BRAKES STOP WELL (MANUAL DRUM AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT) GOOD BODY 304 V8 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH 'GRANNY' 1ST GEAR DANA 20 TRANSFER CASE DANA 44 REAR AXLE WITH LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL DANA 30 FRONT AXLE WITH LOCKING HUBS STOCK HEIGHT SUSPENSION WITH RECENT SHOCKS BRAND NEW RUGGED ALL TERRAIN TIRES (INCLUDING SPARE TIRE) 15" STEEL WHEELS WITH BRIGHT INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER HUBCAPS FACTORY SPARE TIRE RACK BRAND NEW BLACK LEATHERETTE INTERIOR WITH REAR SEAT (OCTOBER 2016). FRONT SEATS TILT AND DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTS FORWARD AND BACK. FRONT BUCKET SEATS WERE REDONE IN THEIR ORIGINAL STITCH AND STYLING PATTERNS. NEW FOAM AND NEW UPHOLSTERY ON ALL THREE SEATS. NEW REAR SEAT FRAME. FACTORY INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER SEATBELTS REMAIN IN THE FRONT. THE FULL STEEL HARDTOP IS REMOVABLE. THE REAR HATCH ON THE HARDTOP OPENS WITH A TURN OF THE HANDLE IN A COUNTER CLOCKWISE MOTION AND LOCKS INTO POSITION. (EASILY UNLOCKS AS WELL WITH AN UPWARD PUSH OF THE REAR HATCH DOOR) THE TAILGATE HAS ITS ORIGINAL BRACKETS AND OPENS AND CLOSES NICELY WITH THE LATCH ON THE LEFT SIDE. DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE NICELY. PASSENGER WINDOW ROLLS UP AND DOWN WITH A BIT OF ASSISTANCE, AS MOST SCOUT WINDOWS TEND TO BE. GLASS IS ALL INTACT AND I DON'T SEE ANY CRACKS IN ANY GLASS. SPEEDO, TEMP, OIL PRESSURE GAUGES WORK. NO RADIO. LIGHTS WORK, BRAKE LIGHTS TOO. MAP LIGHT ON DASH WORKS. BODY HAS SOME IMPERFECTIONS HERE AND THERE, AS YOU CAN SEE. FLOORS HAVE SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS BUT ARE SOLID. FACTORY HEAVY DUTY REAR STEP BUMPER WITH TRAILER HITCH NEW FRONT BUMPER IF YOU'VE LOOKED AROUND, YOU SEE THAT THE TREND ON THESE IS FOR ABOVE 20K FOR A CLEAN 4 CYLINDER MODEL. THE 800A V8 MODEL IS WORTH SUBSTANTIALLY MORE YET MY RESERVE IS PRICED VERY AFFORDABLY HERE. THE SCOUT WILL NOT LAST AT THIS PRICE, SO BE SURE TO ENTER YOUR BID SO YOU DON'T MISS OUT! THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST DRIVING ORIGINAL SCOUT I HAVE EXPERIENCED. IT IS MY STRONG OPINION THAT THE 800A AND 800B V8 SERIES INTERNATIONAL SCOUTS WILL SOON EXPERIENCE A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN VALUE. THEY ARE VERY RARE AND FINDING ONE IS NOT EASY. I PERSONALLY VIEW THESE AS THE 'RARE JEWEL' OF THE CLASSIC 4X4S. FINDING A FORD BRONCO IS SIMPLE (AND ALL TOO COMMON NOW) COMPARED TO A DECENT V8 800A SCOUT, YOU JUST DON'T SEE THEM VERY OFTEN. INCIDENTALLY, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS; THE SCOUT WAS THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN SUV, WHOSE DESIGN WAS COPIED BY FORD MOTOR CO TO CREATE THE BRONCO.
