The Mile High Scout : 1962 Scout 80

1962 Scout International. Built in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
  • Welcome Guest to the Scout Registry!

    Our goal is to create the largest Scout Registry in the world. If you own a Scout vehicle, regardless of year or condition, we would love to see it.

    Just click on the "Add Vehicle" button and you can start the process. You can add a Title (your user name, model year, etc.), Brief Description (color name, model year, model) and a "Tell Us More About Your Scout:" where you can enter in your backstory, details about your Scout, modifications, restoration history, fun ownership stories and photos of your vehicle. You can also come back and modify or add to your registry entry at any time.

    Also, please upload photos if you have them. You can also embed the photos into your story that you create so that people can see larger versions.

    We look forward to seeing and hearing more about your Scout!

I have an Orange 1962 Scout 80. It has been a part of my family for 12 years and has seen its fair share of adventures. One of the most memorable experiences with my Scout was taking it on a 300 mile round trip camping with my family!

My dad surprised me with this amazing vehicle the summer before high school in 2011, and it has been a part of my life ever since. It took us about 10 years to restore it but we finally did it.

I have always been fascinated by Scout Internationals after I saw my first one in Southern Colorado, and over the years I have become obsessed with learning everything there is to know about these amazing vehicles. I am not very mechanically inclined but I am in the process of educating myself on different topics so I can start to build the Wife's 1974 Scout 2.

I have made a few modifications to my Scout, including a crate 302 under the hood with fuel injection connected to a C6 automatic transmission (which I want to upgrade to a 4 speed, maybe overdrive...but 3 gears isnt working to good anymore) . I am always looking for ways to improve and enhance my Scout, so I am looking forward to learning from other members of the registry and sharing my own experiences.

Thank you again for the warm welcome and I can't wait to see all of the amazing Scouts in the registry!

Hello Chris, Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I am excited to see where this build goes as well and am grateful to be a part of such a great community. The color was a tough decision, but I am so happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to sharing more updates and getting feedback from everyone. Happy New Year!
