Restoration
Its a time portal, taking us back to a better time and a better place
Description & Modifiations
All original. 65,000 original and documented miles. Always garaged and maintained by the book.
Purchased brand new by my grandmother in 1965. Was given to me as a gift in 2005 and I began moderate body restoration. No rust, just a few dents and scratches to bang out. I was able to keep original black plates due to family gift.
All original documents, including warranty card in velum wrapper, bill of sale, build sheet, finance agreement, all maintenance records, etc.
Engine
152 4-banger with a Holley 1bbl. All-original, doesn't leak or smoke. The carb needs to be rebuilt, but that's about it.
Future Modifications
Under hood restoration along with a minor freshening of the motor.
Babble
She's a beauty. 80s are my favorite. (said over 3 years ago by Brian Garrison).
That baby is rare -- an unmodified Scout 80! Don't you dare cut or alter a thing! (said over 2 years ago by Mike Allegretti).
Your Scout looks great. If you ever get in the mood to sell it, let me know. I'm just south of you in Costa Mesa. troy@thehickersons.com (said over 2 years ago by Troy Hickerson).
That's the gift of the century!!! I have a 68 scout (TRUSTEE) posted on this site but also have a 61 80 that is dying to look like yours. (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
Thanks for the shot of the dash. I have a 64 (little green scout) and wasnt sure where the decals went. What a great time capsule. Can you post more pics to document it for us? (said about 1 year ago by Doc G).
