In a nod to the past and with an eye on the future, 2021 brought whispers that the Volkswagen Group might resurrect the iconic Scout nameplate, a direct rival to the Jeep in its heyday before its discontinuation in 1980. The International Scout, known for its rugged off-road capabilities, spanned two generations and even teased a third with the Scout III SSV prototype. Among these, the second generation stood out for its exterior redesign and enhanced engine offerings. A prime example of this era is a 1971 International Harvester Scout II, boasting a formidable 345ci V8 engine. This vehicle has undergone a restoration, displaying a mere 5,380 miles on the odometer, ready for new adventures under the stewardship of an enthusiastic new owner.

Under the hood, the 1971 International Harvester Scout II houses a powerhouse 345ci V8 engine, also known as the 345ci engine, the lineup's most potent option. This engine, paired with a Borg Warner 3-speed manual transmission, delivers 182 horsepower, ready to tackle any challenge. The dual-range transfer case allows for power distribution to either the rear wheels or all four, ensuring versatility and performance in a variety of driving conditions. This classic beast is more than just a vehicle; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of the International Harvester Scout II, blending power, design, and rugged capability.
