For sale in our Fort Lauderdale showroom is a cool and custom 1971 Scout 800 B. This is a full frame off, five year build, restoration. Every single piece of metal on this Scout has been removed, sand blasted, primer coated and painted. A POR 15 Hard Nose two-part dark blue paint was used to paint the: Frame, arms for the 3 link on the front, shock tubes, and the underbelly. While it was stripped down, all the bolts were replaced with grade 8 bolts and body mounts replaced as well. The exterior body has been professionally painted with PPG Global custom light aqua blue with a touch of green. With multiple coats of clear, this color scheme is glossy and screams \"Take me to the beach!\" The removable top has a nice glossy white finish, to make the rest of the car pop! All the rubber seals (doors, windows, body etc) on the Scout have been replaced. The owner spared at no expense, restoring this car with custom and rare parts. Per example, the side mirrors are a very rare, hard to find set of Yankee \"bullet\" mirrors. The aluminum grill and head light bezels were buffed and polished to a nice finish, which makes passer-bys double take and gawk. The bed has been reinforced with stronger, thicker metal, assuring this ride is just as tough as it is beautiful. New Scout emblems were used for the finishing touches. The front bumper was replaced with a beautiful, chrome Smittybuilt dual tube front bumper. The rear bumper was replaced with a modern chrome plated bumper. With all of this show, one could only hope it has an equal amount of GO! Rest assured, that it does! To power this International Scout for sale is a custom Chevy block 383 stroker with less than 400 miles. This motor has been professionally honed and bored .030 over with forged 4340 internals, 6 inch full stroke rods, Comp Cam extreme 4x4 camshaft, AFR heads, Ultra pro Magnum rocker arms, custom Holley carburetor with Edelbrock Air Gap, MSD ignition with 6AL2 digital and MSD cables, and high output mechanical fuel pump. To keep the motor oil flowing is a Moroso racing oil pump with a Moroso Deep low profile off road racing oil pan. The pulley system is a March Performance polished aluminum pulley kit. This small block Chevy would be equally as happy behind any Chevy muscle car, as it would this big and bad 71\' Scout for sale! Backed behind this peppy engine, is a TH 350 automatic transmission, which was completely rebuilt and shifts through a K%26N slap shifter. With the Trans Go shift kit, large volume K and N aluminum transmission oil pan, and a exterior oil cooler to keep fluids cool, this transmission was built to last! The NP 205 transfer case was completely rebuilt to be bullet-proof, with new seal and components. Beefed up out-puts connecting custom drive shaft. To add some grip and stop to all of this go, New Warn locking Hubs were added, as well as new performance rotors on the front along with Hawk pads. New Calipers, new brake booster, and new break lines were added, to give this Scout, the complete once-over. The vehicle handles the beefy Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tires with ease, via a Power Steering Pump off of the Scout II that was sent out, rebuilt and fabricated. A chrome aftermarket steering column and Borgenson joints route around the headers. The steering wheel, made out of walnut wood, is connected to the column and has a nostalgic feel to it. It has a full 3 link suspension on the front, professionally done, with all joints, chromoly steel arms, brackets, etc, from Ballastic Fabrication. It has King Coil Shocks (coil overs) that have 14 inches of travel. The rear is a spring over Pro Comp 3 inch lift kit with Bilstein shocks. The tires are brand new Mickey Thompson MTZ 35 inch 12.5\'s . If you wanted bigger tires on this beast you could easily do it, but any taller and you may have to bring out the step ladder!. The rims are polished aluminum off road wheels. This scout has a 19 gallon aluminum gas tank centered and tucked up under the rear truck bed towards the back of the truck. It is really nice to have for those long distance excursions. With the drivetrain aside, all that\'s left is the interior. This 1971 International Scout for sale was totally rewired, with an 18-circuit painless wiring kit. They run power to an awesome set of Arctic white Auto meter gauges that were placed in a custom dash. They look just right, complimenting the new white vinyl bucket seats and bench! It has a nice and modern Alpine head unit with remote, which still needs to be installed. This Scout for is equipped with various options, including an aftermarket air conditioner and heating system made by NAP air conditioning products, which is tucked under the dash on the passenger side below the glove box. Other options, include: A/C, AM/FM radio, CD, manual convertible top, power brakes, power steering, tilt wheel, seat belts, vinyl interior, and aluminum/alloy wheels wrapped in performance radial tires. Now\'s your chance to own one rare International! How rare you ask?
