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]

Jonathan IMO the hatchback sedans like the Audi A5 Sportback, the Kia Stinger, and the already gone Buick Sportback are the answer to SUVs. The A5 and the AWD version of the Stinger being the better overall option IMO. I drive the A5, and love the depth and size of the trunk space as well as the low lift over. I've yet to find anything I need to carry that I can't, although I admit I don't carry things like drywall, building materials, etc. However, add in the fun to drive handling characteristics, there's almost no SUV that compares.
C-b65792653 I'm starting to wonder about Elon....again!!I see a parallel with Henry Ford who was the wealthiest industrialist at one time. Henry went off on a tangent with the peace ship for WWI, Ford TriMotor, invasive social engineering, etc. Once the economy went bad, the focus fell back to cars. Elon became one of the wealthiest industrialist in the 21st century. Then he went off with the space venture, boring holes in the ground venture, "X" (formerly Twitter), etc, etc, etc. Once Tesla hit a plateau and he realized his EVs were a commodity, he too is focused on his primary money making machine. Yet, I feel Elon is over reacting. Down sizing is the nature of the beast in the auto industry; you can't get around that. But hacking the Super Charger division is like cutting off your own leg. IIRC, GM and Ford were scheduled to sign on to the exclusive Tesla charging format. That would have doubled or tripled his charging opportunity. I wonder what those at the Renaissance Center and the Glass House are thinking now. As alluded to, there's blood in the water and other charging companies will fill the void. I believe other nations have standardized EV charging (EU & China). Elon had the chance to have his charging system as the default in North America. Now, he's dropped the ball. He's lost considerable influence on what the standardized format will eventually be. Tremendous opportunity lost. 🚗🚗🚗
Tassos I never used winter tires, and the last two decades I am driving almost only rear wheel drive cars, half of them in MI. I always bought all season tires for them, but the diff between touring and non touring flavors never came up. Does it make even the smallest bit of difference? (I will not read the lengthy article because I believe it does not).
