The 1964 International Harvester Scout 80 is a standout example of a classic 4x4, with its rugged design and proven durability. Known as the first SUV, the Scout 80 was originally built as a workhorse with minimal creature comforts, making it the ideal vehicle for utility and off-road enthusiasts. The "walk-thru" version of this model, which lacks a partition and offers a removable hardtop, is a rare configuration that adds to its appeal.
Powered by a 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this Scout is equipped with a Dana twin-stick transfer case, Dana 27 axles with 4.27 gears, and a vintage Eaton power steering upgrade. These features make it a highly capable off-road vehicle, ready to tackle any terrain with confidence. The 31x10.5x15 all-terrain tires mounted on Baja Rockcrawler wheels, along with the full-size spare on the factory tire carrier, enhance its rugged off-road capability.
This Scout 80 also features a Rhino-lined hard top that is removable, providing the option for open-air driving. Inside, the custom-cut black carpet and the Kenwood in-dash CD player with remote/iPhone connection offer a more modern touch while maintaining its vintage charm.
With its iconic Americana design, utility, and go-anywhere attitude, the first-generation Scouts have become highly sought after by collectors and 4x4 enthusiasts. They offer a combination of historical significance and rugged durability that make them ideal for those looking to experience true off-road adventures or simply appreciate a piece of automotive history.
