Used Car of the Day: 1967 Scout International 800 Harvester

There's very little ad copy for this 1967 Scout International 800 Harvester. So little, in fact, that I almost didn't feature it.


All we're told is that it "runs good." The pictures show it needs some cosmetic work, though it seems to be in decent shape.

You'll have to call the owner if you actually have an interest in buying this thing. Again, we're not here to sell these cars -- we're not Bring a Trailer -- but to simply highlight cool cars we see for sale in our parent company's forums. And for me, Scouts are cool as hell.

If you think the same way I do, you can browse the pictures here. Whether or not you have any intent to purchase this Scout, you can at least kill five minutes of your boss's time and gawk at it.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    If this ridiculous relic is a "used car of the day" then I am His Majesty the Emperor of China.


    But I am not surprised at any of Tim's laughable finds any more.

      The normal greeting to the Chinese Emperor was 皇上 Huáng shang roughly 'Imperial majesty'. In his absence the Emperor was often referred to as 万岁爷 Wàn suì yé 'Lord for countless years' particularly by his eunuchs [sure Tassos would know THAT one]

    Keep the old Scout, how much for the garage?

  • Bkojote What I'm tired of is all of these becoming unobtanium with dealer markups. Look a fun graphics package or super high performance variant is fun, but how come I can't buy one without paying a $10k markup?
  • TheEndlessEnigma That is flat out ugly. But what can be better than a horrible paint scheme for what is a pretty poor vehicle that fails hard at everything it tries to be.
  • Eddie Volkswagen has been under-powered compared to the competition for many years now. I don't know why, and this is especially prevalent in the SUV segment. The Tiguan is no small sport-ute and needs a turbo I4 with at least 230hp/260 lb-ft. Especially with a $35K entry price. Oh and another annoying thing about VW: expand on your colors outside of the dullard rental fleet white, silver/grey, black, and either a red or blue shade. SERIOUSLY????
  • Aja8888 I'm not feeling this until GM brings back my 1951 Chevrolet!
