1970 International Harvester Scout Gold SR2 V8, 1 of 500 Made

ONE OF ONLY 500 GOLD SR2 SCOUTS PRODUCED IN 1970.  

Of these. how many gold numbers matching SR2s are left in the world? 2? 3? 

Perhaps this is the last surviving Gold SR2 with matching original factory engine.  

The SR2 promotional prototype special edition was only produced in 1970 for a few months. Most of them were red and the total produced was only 1. 75.  

This is Collectible American History

Matching numbers 1970 Scout SR2 800A. with line setting ticket for documentation. 304V8. Automatic transmission. 3. 73 differential gearing. 4x4.  

V8 POWERED

Engine is the correct original one installed from the factory. engine block numbers match the numbers listed on the line setting ticket paperwork. which will be supplied to the purchaser.  Engine sticker is still on the hood underside with a circle around it. 304.  

 The 304 V8 roars and has a freshly rebuilt factory original Holley carburetor with automatic choke. Rebuilt starter just installed with new battery cable. Engine retains enclosed air cleaner. stock valve covers and both exhaust manifolds and intake manifold.  

Correct drivetrain - Dana 44 Positraction rear axle. Dana 30 front axle. Dana 20 transfer case and Borg Warner automatic transmission. 3. 73 differential gear ratio.  

NEW 2 STAGE URETHANE PAINT (1 month old)

 New two stage dupont paint with urethane clear (basecoat/clearcoat). Exterior trim was stripped and the body was prepped. primed. and painted with the top off. Truck was painted with the windshield out. a new windshield and new rubber seal were installed after paint. Factory style SR2 stripes were added to the sides and hood by a professional striper.  The paint has a nice sheen and glow to it.  

Interior door jambs and outer shells were repainted. full exterior. inside panel on tailgate. and tailgate jambs. The dash and transmission tunnel retain the factory gold paint that it came with.  

New exterior chrome side mirrors on both doors. The SR2 models did not come with any front fender emblems besides just the simple "Scout" chrome script. All 4 chrome sidemarker bezels remain. along with correct grill trim and hood ornament. Exterior trim was cleaned with steel wool while removed and some new items were added. new reverse lenses and bezels and new taillight lenses. Hood ornament was repainted by hand.  

The white hardtop with its original sliding SR2 option windows has had new white paint applied to the exterior. The rear lift gate opens and closes as it should. As with most scouts. the door windows require assistance from the opposite hand when raising and lowering. Drivers door is pretty easy.  

The floors are solid as are quarter panels and rockers. Where applicable. floors were welded with new 18 gauge steel and supports. Floors have been coated with spray on bedliner. To the best of my knowledge. I believe that all body panels currently on the vehicle were original panels to the vehicle.  

UPHOLSTERY

Interior front and rear seats have been reupholstered and are the original seats. they were redone in Oxen black leatherette and were stitched to replicate the original pattern.  Dash appears as original. with 800 script still on dash. The instruments and bezels are stock. steering wheel is original. and even the very rare factory AM radio still resides in its place. The view is enhanced by a clear new windshield and rubber weatherstrip.  

Hardtop is fully removable

NEW GOODYEAR TIRES with under 10 miles. 235/75/15

White letters face out. as the SR2s originally had. and yes they came with Goodyear tires in 1970.  
Factory chromed original SR2 rally wheels remain at all 4 wheels.  

STOCK HEIGHT SUSPENSION

BRAND NEW DUAL EXHAUST with under 10 miles

 Brand new dual exhaust pipes and mufflers were just installed from manifolds to rear axle exit.  

Brakes were just bled. I have been using the passenger side fuel tank. not using drivers side.  


At some point this appears to have had air conditioning as well.

As mentioned. I have the LST printout describing full factory equipment and SR2/Doll Up Scout.
Serious offers only! This is an unbelievable find. Chances are you will never have this opportunity again. 1 of 500 built in gold. a one year option. 1970. When was the last time you saw one with the original chrome wheels intact?

-----  I would bet that this is the only remaining numbers matching gold SR2 V8 Scout in existence. I have heard from a few scattered gold SR2 owners around the country. Are those numbers matching? I'm not sure. Total SR2 production was 1. 75 flame red units but only 500 in gold. Total produced was only 1. 75. (International Scout Encyclopedia) 

You may email me your phone number if you want to discuss the vehicle.  

And yes. if you were not aware. the International Scout was the first American SUV. which was later "imitated" by Ford when they brought out the Bronco. Obviously. this International Scout SR2 is much more unique and collectable.
