I own the twin sister to this beautiful 800. Same color and it came from the same dealership in Pueblo. Good to know my Scout has family still on the road.
In high school we had a 1964 4 cylinder and a 1967 266 V8. The 64 barely had enough power to go up the hill to our street in 3rd gear unless we got a good run for the hill. I never knew they made a 4 speed with overdrive. I had a friend with a 1966 4 cylinder and that thing would run rings around our 1964. It would even lay rubber when he shifted into 2nd gear. I couldn't believe how much better that thing ran than ours.
I owned two scouts, 61 and a 63 used to plow with them very good vehicles. Used to commute about 30 miles each way to work on the interstate or use the 61 run like a top 9:42 never gave me trouble. Sold it for the same amount I paid for it. My daughter was so embarrassed by it. Now she wishes she had it time has a way of changing things.
I had a 1970 with the 196 4cyl. , that thing would walk up a wall in 4wheel low(almost) it also had the 4.27 gears in the axles. Great in the mud, but screamed like a bear on the highway. LOVED IT, wish I still had it.
Gorgeous the color. I have a 68 and I drive it daily. Dont care about the highways. Just pass me. I am working on a plan to update but keep it stock. I love this.
You could make a Buick 215 Six fit this, i'll bet. But you did scout out all the original IH parts to restore the Scout, and I wondered, was it challenging to undertake "scouting" out original parts? I've heard stories that Scout parts can be a bear to scout out. May you keep yours to your dying day. Too bad automatic wasn't offered until late in the first Scout's run. '69 and '70 were the final years for the first gen models. Now the surviving ones not feasted on by rust go for the price of a '57 Chevy, and they're now being brought back and restored. I'd HAVE this over ANY '57 Chevy. You have outstanding taste in vintage cars, what you have is THE reflection of that. May it serve you well, and the happiest of years. I'm sure your kids will get it from you. They should be that lucky to receive this mighty collectible. Enjoy! David Z New York.
If memory serves me the standard 152 4 cylinder (called Commanche) developed 93 advertised hp. The turbo put out 111 advertised hp. It was the right bank of IH's great 304 V8.
Missed opportunity. If International had built this Model in their German factory in Neuss they would have been ahead of BMW and Porsche by eight years !
Was that a stock, chrome International Rocker cover that I got a glimpse of? That almost constitutes an International Harvester Performance Parts catalog!
Your upholstery looks factory. That is rare. The steering wheel appears to be standard factory issue for the 800 series. The rear seat is not a rare option. It was quite common with the travel top version, especially after 1962 when the bulk head was removed. Is your Scout lifted? It appears to be.

Knew the Scout well; never knew it came with a factory turbo!
Very rare!
Exceptional example out standing work.

It was the Buick 215 V8!
SWEET!
Excellent report. I had 2 of them. (Non-turbo)
Thank you 🙏🏼

New one for me, didn't know they made one. Awesome job.
Rare for sure! Thanks for watching!
I have a Aztec Gold 1965 Champagne Scout 80 /turbo . I wonder how many still exist?
My dad had a 64 non turbo. It would climb a phone pole, slowly.

Where did you find the upholstery for your seats?
Was that a stock, chrome International Rocker cover that I got a glimpse of? That almost constitutes an International Harvester Performance Parts catalog!

I agree it does look like a small lift, and noticed the I.H. emblem on the hood which was never a factory option for pre-65
thats a 66 not a 65
This Scout’s long term owner states it is a 1965, as do the Judges at the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance where it won Third in Class.
@@SteveNatale i owned a 65 for a long time. it has a different dashboard . layout.
Not a car...sorry..!!
It’s where are the bronco stole? It’s looks from.
yes
Scout came out in 61 to compete with the Jeep. Bronco came out in 66.
I actually bought this scout and restored it. If you want the history of it leave a comment and I’ll give you my email.
That’s such a great Scout! Email me at Steve_natale@comcast.net. Thanks!
