Barn Find
This suckers been sitting for a while.
Description & Modifiations
I found my SSII in my bosses basement. It had been there for 15 years and he used it around the yard for some small chores. I have been after him to buy it fo the last 10 years. He bought it, had it restored, and than pretty much parked it in a heated, dry basement. The SSII has always been the holy grail of scouts for me. There is just something about them that i have allways loved. and this one is in almost perfect shape. It has some small issues that i am starting to work on. I can't wait to take it on the roads and trails.

Bad ass! I've got an old ad showing that SS flying off a sand dune. Did scout make SS emblems. I saw some on a scout but they looked like chevy SS emblems though. (said 4 months ago by Rob Gojkovich).
No, they never made SS emblems. If someone put them on they may look cool but they did not come with it. (said 3 months ago by Corn Husker).
