Looking for a Scout 80
Today, I blog before you, 1 day and 23 hours from becoming the proud owner of a beat to hell basket case slightly used 1963 International Harvester Scout 80. I began my search for a Scout 80 about a month ago. I'd looked in the local papers, craigslist, auto classifieds on the web and eBay. By far, eBay has been the place to find them, now the trick is winning one. As I am located in Florida I've only looked for Scouts in the Eastern US in order to save on shipping. I've bid on a few but so far have been out bid. Today though I am just under 2 days from winning it. It's got a s**t load of parts removed and many extra parts included. I better go find a manual for this thing if I ever hope to piece it back together. I'll be updating the blog as the auction continues and when I win it (and I will win it, damn it!) I'll be blogging about getting it home and about the work I do to it as I try to restore it to at least a decent daily driver. Stick around and if you have a International Harvester Scout of your own feel free to contact me with any pics or ideas and I'll post them up.

Congrats on your purchase! Watched that one for a few days on eBay - looked like a good deal. Looking forward to the transformation!
Thanks! Stay tuned for one heck of a transformation.
So, any updates yet? :) I'm in the process of "restoring" (read: trying to fight against rust and decay) a '65 Scout 80.
I also have a parts Scout which looks almost exactly like yours - painted red everywhere including the hard top. And I've got a garage full of parts I bought randomly on eBay, probably not very wise.
Here's my project page.
I saw the note on the side of the blog asking for any info on scout 80's for sale and this was the only way i saw to respond. I am currently reluctantly selling a 1965 Scout 80 sport with less than 48,000 original miles, minimal rust or damage. I am just starting the process of selling it and have not posted it anywhere yet. The asking price is $3500 OBO. If anyone is interested, contact me at
