This is our 1976 International Scout II and if it could talk! We bought this from a friend in Florence about 1985 - give or take a few years. The stories this Scout could tell.
Back in the late 90's, it was stolen, probably by some after-hour bar patrons, but they didn't get very far (because it wasn't running good) and dumped it on a country road close to town! So our Scout was returned, not much worse for the wear.
Around that time, we had a chance to get a jeep, a really cute jeep! (It was red, saucy, and delightful, but that's another story!) The man we purchased that Jeep from wanted to buy our Scout, so we sold it to him. A few weeks later, he decided he really didn't want the Scout, so our Scout returned again!
Then as time went on, we needed a better Jeep or Scout to tow behind motorhome, so we sold our beloved Red Jeep, and bought a newer Jeep. We also sold the scout to a lady in Pueblo West who wanted it to fix it up and restore. Then again, after a few years, she decided she really didn't want to do that, and needed money, so again our Scout returned!!!
After sitting for a few years, it's back running, and Ryan wants to "restore" it! Wonder what adventures are in store for this Scout now??!
