Used Car of the Day: 1967 Scout International 800 Harvester

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

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.

  "I am His Majesty the Emperor of China" And I thought you were some tenured professor with a home somewhere in Europe.
  Sir, I have this white jacket for you, yes, it's odd that it ties in the back....

  The sad part is, this old International will be running long after your POS mercedes is turned into soup cans.

  True his Mercedes will both be made into washing machines from China and this IH will still be running.

  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]

Bd2 See guys it's like this : they say a that if you pay a man enough he will walk barefoot to hell and this Kia dealership could be analogized as hell with the Telluride being the holy grail of under $100K SUVs. Kia vehicles are so good, buyers are willing to tolerate the worst, sleaziest, nastiest, unethical and incompetent dealership experience just to park themselves in the best of the best instead of settling for a Lexus or Toyota or even an Acura. It's just a testament to the hard working young personnel at Hyundai Kia Genesis factories across Ala-BAM-A! who really give it their all including their lives to build the best that keeps the customer coming back no matter how terrible the front line dealership is. Let that sink in.
Lou_BC I haven't burned a drop of gasoline in the past 2 years ;)
THX1136 One thing the government does well is not look to the future when considering lawmaking/regulation of industries along with legislating via exceptions. Appreciate the article and the discussions. Don't think this is a 'one size fits all' situation. That, along with legislators who don't have the will to legislate what's best for all instead of the few. Probably wrong on that, but I've been wrong before. Got to keep my averages up, ya know.
28-Cars-Later "Put yourself in the shoes of an OEM product planner. What would you do in terms of future powertrain planning?"License Toyota's hybrid technology for the bread and butter models, offer a trucklet with a 4-6 ft bed, offer at least one profitable conventional model which would depend on which marque I am. "I think we can all agree that there will continue to be more battery-electric vehicles on the market, but the growth of EVs may slow."In the real world those BEVs all represent a financial loss and misallocated capital on an enormous scale. Must be nice to have zero accountability with government roles you can't be fired from when you should be 100 times over."There are also the technology and infrastructure aspects. Could hydrogen fuel cells take off?"I doubt it, I think it depends on the direction of the Japanese gov't/industry. I saw a video which explained the Japanese discovered natural resources near their islands which could be refined to produce hydrogen, which would finally grant them some energy semi-independence (historically all energy was imported and Fukushima put the kibosh on electrify everything). If there is an initiative to recover these resources and transition the JDM to hydrogen around 2030, the Japanese auto makers may slowly discontinue conventional drivetrain R&D and they'd have an incentive to push the change in other markets."Nissan says it won't invest in any  new gas engines."I saw an interview Ghosn did around 2012 and when asked about the Leaf he said something to the effect of the Alliance needed to offer an EV because it could sell well in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent as well as allow them to skirt ManBearPig worship in the First World. He explained in the more remote regions of Africa/India electricity as a power source could usually be obtained whereas a refined petroleum supply chain was not always available. If you look at NIssan's moves from this lens things start to make more sense with the added bonus of eliminating warranty claims on subpar CVTs. If their plan is less emphasis on Japan, North America, and Europe where many better competitors are available and more in developing markets it could prove to be a wise move. "Not to mention that Chinese competition may come to our shores --  pending tariffs, of course." Nothing will change when the incumbent "president" is removed from power and the new puppet installed. There are more parties* which benefit from an artificially high price floor for any kind of vehicle than the consumers who would benefit from price deflation (but remember it was morally wrong when Orange Man threatened the ridiculously high tariffs his opponent just imposed). *Big Oil, politicians, environmentalists, TSLA, UAW, D2.5
