International Harvester Scout II with 4 WD and IH 304 V8 engine

"All gasoline engines offered were made by IH including the v304.

Fortunately for a restorer, the effects of time and initial sales of this rival to the Jeep, makes the ROI on my reserve price and that commanded by a full restoration quite attractive. The condition of this vehicle is too good to be destroyed, but needs an owner that can restore its original glory and the profit that may bring.

How can I identify my IH V8 engine? Check on the right side of the engine towards the front, on the side of the block there is flat spot about the size of a domino, just below the cylinder head and exhaust manifold. The engine size is stamped in this location.

SSII *sales* figure (not production figure) for 1979 = 491 SSIIs

When an IH Vehicle was ordered, a Factory build or construction sheet is created (when order is sent to the factory) with the new vehicles Vin or ID number, all the codes for standard equipment and options the salesman used to create this vehicle for his customer or inventory. This sheet is used to assemble the vehicle from beginning to finish. After the factory assembles the vehicle and the vehicle is shipped and sold, the Lineticket identifies such things as the engine type, transmission type, drive line, paint codes, gear ratio, and standard and optional equipment, specific to that vehicle. This was and still is a very valuable tool when ordering parts later at the dealership by the customer. A very small copy of the Lineticket was attached to each vehicle in different places during the building process at the factory. 1977- '80 Scout II's had its copies on the inside of the glove box door.

The fading original lineticket is posted.

re: IH V-304

To tell the AMC engine from IH's own V8s, look at the thermostat housing. AMC is round. IH is rectangular.

Although the Scout was occasionally equipped with engines manufactured by American Motors, all Scout V-8s were manufactured by International, so the International 304 cubic-inch is not to be confused with the American Motors' 304 with the same displacement.

The vehicle is offered with a right to a personal inspection by any bidder or agent of any bidder, whether a buyer decides to inspect a vehicle themselves/have a 3rd party inspection or make no inspection at all. All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. No vehicle is perfect to everyone. Each vehicle has its strengths, styles, tendencies and shortcomings. Therefore, despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle's mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or previous owner’s diligence in care. It is for this reason that all vehicles are sold "AS IS". We have described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective. Please be advised that no oral or written statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of the condition of the said vehicle.

PAYMENT TERMS:

Payment must be made by Cashiers Check, Money Orders, Wire Transfers payable in US Dollars, or the equivilent of the US DOLLAR amount in specified cryptocurrency (BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, LITECOIN). A deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be received within Twenty-Four(24) hours of the auctions close either by PayPal or via specified cryptocurrency (BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, LITECOIN). Final payment balance due must be received within seven (7) days of the auction close. I will not be responsible for buyers remorse or problems found to said vehicle once they have left my property. This is a vintage auto that has been maintained in a condition suitable to pass Utah inspection laws for safety and emissions. However, by its age, it ought to be obvious that it is not in showroom brand new condition. It will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later or perhaps more extensive restoration to command a resell price by you that is several times higher than your purchase price. My reserve price, to me, is a fair middle ground on a path for you to fully restore this vehicle and perhaps have a significant return on your investment as a collectible vehicle. This is not a new cars and should not be bid upon as such. Once the deposit payment has been received, I, as the Seller, will email a .pdf copy of the clear title, to the Buyer. Transportation will commence only after final payment and signed documentation are received.

DELIVERY OF VEHICLE TITLE and BILL OF SALE: Upon confirmation of full payment of funds owed, which by cryptocurrency is almost nearly instantaneous and the least expensive means to transfer, in my experience, the title and Bill of Sale will be sent to you by a trackable means of your choice (USPS, FEDEX, UPS).

DELIVERY OF VEHICLE: Upon confirmation of full payment of funds owed, the vehicle will be shipped to you by whatever means you inform me to do via email.

Upon successful bid, notify me how you want to accept delivery. That is, do you want it shipped to you, or will you take delivery in person? If you want it shipped notify me of the details that you have made with your shipping service.

A possible payment method, which, if not available to you, does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the successful bid price within the time limit is the third party auto dealership, lowbook.com. They indicated to me that it will finance an auto sale between private individuals. If you want to use that method, you have to make arrangement between yourself and lowbook.com to pay me.

If the vehicle is not financed to you by lowbook.com, an escrow service that conforms to the method of sale defined only by the SELLER must be used for other than cash in person or cryptocoin (BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, LITECOIN) payment. An escrow service that inserts criteria contrary to the SELLER's instructions shall not be accepted by the SELLER, nor used. The BUYER shall be responsible to pay the escrow fee. Payment by cryptocurrency (BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, LITECOIN) is encouraged for speed of transfer, lower cost than wire transfer / escrow fees, and the ability to quickly verify that a payment was made.

Payment from outside the United States must be in BITCOIN, DOGECOIN, or LITECOIN, using the US$ exchange rate posted at

I do not say or warrant anything more than that.
