Vintage Blazers, Broncos, and Jeeps are super cool, but if you want to stand apart from the crowd a 1979 International Harvester Scout II restomod might do the trick. Especially if you have a wad of cash handy—like $229,000 for starters. To put that price into perspective, you could get a Lamborghini Huracan with some options for about that much.
Velocity Restorations of Pensacola, Florida, is showing off its latest restomod off-roader project that needs a new garage and owner.
The restoration shop says it spent more than 1,500 hours rebuilding the orange beauty seen here, and it sure looks like it.
“We are really proud of our International Scout,” said Brandon Segers, Velocity Restorations owner, in a statement. “We found this model in a Texas oil field. We stripped it to the bare metal, and started the frame off restomod process. Every nut and bolt is brand new, the powertrain is improved, and it looks stunning.”
Under the hood, the upgraded truck gets a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine that now offers 430 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. The LS3 is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
