1978 International Harvester Scout II Traveler

This 1978 International Harvester Scout II is a long-wheelbase Traveler model that is finished in white and black over tan leather upholstery and is powered by a 345ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a removable tan SofTopper top, a 2.5″ Rough Country lift kit, a 1″ body lift, Holley Sniper fuel injection, Focal speakers, swiveling captain’s chairs, and a Retrosound push-button radio.
