Description
this is an amazingly incredible rock crawler that i purchased a few years back from a fellow ebayer - this is his write up - other that taking care of this beast and replacing fuel lines, its pretty much the same - no heavy rust - paint still good and man, this thing can top just about anything you can put in front of her.
For Sale is my 1980(tagged as a 72) Scout II I've had for over 20 years. It has single handily churned the Topeka, KS economy along for all those years.....meaning I have way too much money invested in this Scout...50k or better...
This Scout has been to the RMIHR countless times and has been on most all the trails in Colorado and has never skipped a beat. This is a very capable rock crawler, meaning I crawled over rocks, never fast or spinning the tires out. The Scout has seen countless trails, but never abused. It's been like a family member to me. The list of modifications goes on and on and I have forgotten many of them. This was not a backyard build(not that there's anything wrong with that), this truck was built by a friend of mine who builds buggies for the King of the Hammers participants...and I believe the one who got 2nd last year....100k dollar buggies.

This Scout runs fantastic, it's quiet and very easy on the trails to maneuver. It crawls over anything. The suspension is nice and flexy. It's been a joy to own, but I don't have time anymore.
