Tell us about your Scout:
I've been a fan of the Scout since I was very young. I always wanted one growing up, but when I got to driving age, decided I wanted a 1965 Mustang instead of a truck. My dad and I found a Mustang, did a complete ground-up restoration on it, and I drove that all through high school and college (2003). I always noticed Scouts out and about and knew in my heart that I had to get one eventually.
Fast-forward to 2017, my wife offered to buy me one as a birthday present! I found this one for sale on a farm near Rutland, South Dakota (iykyk) and she convinced me to go for it. My wife and I drove up from Dallas with a trailer and hauled it back in 48 hours through the January, 2017 ice storm just a week before my birthday. It's a true Super Scout, the body and frame are in great condition, it just needed some engine work and wiring.
Since getting it home, we've upgraded it to a 345 V8 with a T-19 4 speed and Hamilton Fuel Injection and full wiring harness. We added the new wheels and tires and have been bouncing around town with the kids ever since! It gets a lot of head nods and compliments at stop lights and gas stations. My son loves standing on the passenger door sill, hanging out as far as he can, holding onto whatever he can!
