1964 International Harvester Scout 80 4x4 for sale on BaT Auctions - ending September 7 (Lot #119,683) | Bring a Trailer
The thing that caught my eye was this shifting diagram sticker on the glovebox door.
I used to own one of these & I remember it shifting like a CJ, this is weird!

 

Super nice!!!

 

black wheels....

Certainly a nice scout!

 

Totally agree

 

Yep, the IH 152 makes a little more power than an F head but a Scout is heavier too.
My Scout had a Chevy 327

 

That sticker makes no sense on this Scout. It's for an aftermarket D20 twin stick conversion but from the pictures, this definitely has the proper D18 in it. It's not physically possible to have the front and rear in different ratios with a D18. There is only one sliding gear for high/low range the the 2wd/4wd lever simply locks the front yoke to the rear yoke. If the rear is in low, the front is in low.

Here's where they bought the sticker and it explicitly says D20: https://www.scoutcoproducts.com/dana-20-twin-stick-transfer-case-decal

For all the attention to detail on the rest of the rig, it's an odd oversight.

 

Why does it have access to the passenger fuel tank pick-up but not the driver side?

 

looks show room ready
just way out of my price range
Reserve not met at 40K

 

I know a restoration costs big bucks, especially if a shop is doing all the work, and this Scout is really nice, but how do you justify this kind of money for this vehicle? $40K for a 152 slant 4 powered Scout, and it didn’t even meet reserve? To me, 25K would be tops, if I had to have one.

BaT wouldn't take my 60 Wagon in my avatar unless I went no reserve. I asked for a 20 k , they said no.
And while I like that old Scout; where could you actually drive it?
At least my 226 with overdrive will do 60...
