Canada Dry ordered 22 of these Midas Baja Scout SSIIs in 1979 and gave away 10 of them as the Grand Prize in their "Way To Go" Sweepstakes. It is 1 of 4 known to exist today
Tell us about your Scout:
We picked up this Scout in June 2024. It has the original 304 V8 engine, automatic transmission and original paint. Unfortunately it is missing the Midas rear seat and console/cooler.
This Scout along with a 1978 Black/Parchment Selective Edition Scout were headed to a scrapper around 25 years ago. The fellow we bought it from just happened to be driving by when they were being loaded onto a truck to haul them away. He stopped and made a deal to have them hauled to his home where they have been sitting ever since. The fellow he got them from put the Travel Top and doors from the Selective Edition Scout onto the SSII attempting to make one good one out of the two then lost interest in completing the project.
