1964 International Harvester Scout 80

For all the VIP’s who are PERFECTIONISTS and looking for something a little more UNIQUE and RARE, Sonoran Classic Restorations has done it again in offering this GORGEOUS half-cab 4 x 4 International Harvester Scout 80.
Whether you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL entry in your next car show or just want a super cute Scout that’s PERFECT for cruising around town, going on pick-nicks, heading out to the lake or beach, or picking up your flowers this Spring from the local nursery, this is the one!
This is a meticulous frame off, nut and bolt restoration. Nothing has been left untouched with every item having been replaced, reconditioned or upgraded. There is NOTHING average about this restoration when compared with many others. And you'll see from the last photo just how far this Scout has come.
It's a complete makeover from top to bottom and inside out, starting with an “EXQUISITE AND ONE OF A KIND BODY COLOR" (as we test drive, the folks don't just take a glance, they completely turn around to get a good look...it’s a definite head turner). Following are all the details:
Body:
Bodywork and paint was just professionally completed by me, a seasoned Professional Auto Body Painter of 27 years. Paint was originally tan, thus the Scout was disassembled, old paint stripped, and properly recolored to a fine metallic seafoam green, which was a period correct color for the 1960’s. The bodywork was done to where the Scout is ARROW STRAIGHT - paint is smooth as crystal glass with a deep gloss from using 3 coats of PPG clear and being colored sanded and buffed for a STUNNING APPEARANCE!
