duPont REGISTRY Live presents this beautifully restored 1978 International Scout II Super Scout Tribute, finished in factory-correct Omaha Orange and representing a faithful recreation of one of the most sought-after variants in Scout history. Benefiting from a comprehensive frame-off restoration, this example captures the stripped-down, adventure-focused character that made the Super Scout II a standout among late-1970s off-roaders. Powered by International Harvester's durable 345ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission, this Scout combines classic utility, period-correct styling, and open-air versatility in a package that remains refreshingly uncommon in today's collector market.

As competition intensified among Ford, Chevrolet, and Jeep during the 1970s, International Harvester responded with the larger and more refined Scout II platform. The most distinctive variant was the Super Scout II, a purpose-built off-road model designed for recreational use. Featuring removable soft-top equipment, fiberglass door inserts, exposed hardware, bold graphics, and white-painted wagon wheels, the SS II embraced a minimalist philosophy that prioritized outdoor enjoyment over luxury. Today, original examples and correctly restored tributes are among the most desirable Scouts for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This example was restored to factory-correct Super Scout II specification and refinished in the iconic shade of Omaha Orange. Correct black and gold Super Scout graphics, black fender flares, a black grille, and cream-painted wagon wheel rims fitted with Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires faithfully recreate the original SS II appearance. The signature Roadster-style fiberglass door inserts, removable Bimini top, and complete folding soft-top system further reinforce the truck's open-air character and period-correct presentation.

Inside, the cabin remains true to the Super Scout formula with black vinyl upholstery, front bucket seats, rear bench seating, a center roll bar, center console with cup holders, and an AM radio. The simple, durable interior reflects the Scout's utilitarian roots while remaining comfortable and functional for weekend cruising or trail use.

The restoration extended beyond cosmetics, beginning with a fully refinished frame and detailed drivetrain. Power comes from the International Harvester 345ci V8, backed by a TorqueFlite A727 3-speed automatic transmission, dual-range transfer case, and four-wheel-drive system. Power steering and power brakes make the Scout easy to enjoy on modern roads, while a replacement poly fuel tank improves long-term durability and reliability.

Accompanied by two keys, the Bimini top, and the complete folding soft-top and soft-door assembly, this 1978 International Scout II Super Scout Tribute represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the most recognizable and charismatic vintage 4x4s. Meticulously restored and finished in the iconic Omaha Orange color scheme, it offers a compelling alternative to more commonplace classic Broncos and Blazers while capturing the adventurous spirit that made the Super Scout II an icon.
