1977 International - Scout

Product Details

Initially called the Mountaineer, International Harvester designer Dick Hatch penned a Scout II without a roof or doors, added a roll bar, a stylish new grille and plastic door inserts. As it evolved, so did the name, and Scout Sid Kick ( SSK ) became the working name as the prototype was developed. Eventually, to avoid problems with Mercedes as there once was a Mercedes SSK , IH brainstormed the name Super Scout, which soon became abbreviated to SS and later SSII . The internal product new announcement came on December 22, 1976 and the SSII was introduced to dealers in January 1977 at Parker, Arizona. The SSII could be ordered with just about any mechanical a la cart options, but four powertrain packages were also offered: Rancher Special, Brush Blaster, Sport and Baja Cruiser. This Baja Cruiser is powered by its 348 Cubic inch V8, 4 speed transmission and internationals bullet proof 4 wheel drive. Highlights included: Center console, bucket seats, Traction-Loc limited slip differential, SSII package, etc. The truck features all its original SSII equipment, the paint and decals appear to be original as does the interior, and at 48057 miles, the truck features excellent mechanicals and is a proven driver. Vintage 4X4's are on fire and offer many uses for family fun. A special edition highly original Scout such as the one here remain high on the list for enthusiasts and collectors alike. No wrong decision here.
