Driver1966 International Scout 800 4x4, original 152 four and 3-speed, indoor-stored, priced at $12,950
An early, unmodified Scout 800 that runs and drives, offered privately below recent sale prices.
Why we picked it
Why we picked it: this 1966 Scout 800 still has its original IH 152 four-cylinder and three-speed manual with four-wheel drive and the removable hardtop. The private seller says it starts and drives, has been stored indoors, and has a solid body and frame, a recored radiator, a new battery and good tires. Original badges, the steering wheel, the line setting ticket and the manual come with it.
Comparable original 1966 Scout 800 4x4s have sold for roughly $18,750 to $24,750, so $12,950 is a fair entry point for an early Scout that you can drive now and restore or upgrade later.
The value check
The seller is asking $12,950. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $15,500–$24,750, so the middle of the market is about $20,125. That put this car 36% under.
Original-spec 1966 Scout 800 4x4 3-speeds sold for $18,750 and $24,750 in early 2025, with a higher-mile modified example at $15,500 and a 1970 800A project at $14,750. At $12,950, this one is about 35% under the $20,100 midpoint, though it shows wheel-well rust.

What to check
- The seller notes rust around the wheel wells; also check the rockers, floors, the tub behind the seats and the bottom of the tailgate
- The turn signals and brake lights need repair
- The listing does not mention the title or VIN; this is an AutoTrader private seller, so confirm title and VIN in person and pay no deposit before seeing it
- The 152 four is slow at highway speed, and worn Dana 44/27 axle parts and brakes are common
- Check the frame rear crossmember and the spring hangers
Making it drive like new
Popular upgrades are front disc brakes, power steering, and a 304/345 IH V8 or a GM/Ford V8 swap with a stronger transmission. A Scout II axle and brake swap is a common way to get better brakes.
