PRICE REDUCED FOR FAST SALE! Moving out of state and need to sell this rare classic ASAP. Car is a legitimate Texas ranch “barn find”. Vehicle was being used on ranch property in the early 1980s when owner decided to buy a side-by-side and parked the Scout in the barn. It remained there until Oct 2024 when the owner and I extracted it from the barn and towed it to my garage in Austin. Car is in 100% original condition with all parts except the passenger side mirror. Engine is running but car is not currently drivable. Our original plan was to restore the car ourselves, but personal issues have dictated that we sell the car as a project for someone else enjoy.
The car has stickers on both front fenders from Granatelli Motor Sports of California that suggest the car was possibly run in off-road races like the early Baja 1000. The added role bar and extra gas tank in the bed are consistent with this possible off-road racing history. Overall, the car has little rust and no body damage and is in good condition given its lengthy storage in a Texas barn. No doubt, it needs some restoration to become road worthy, but with a little thoughtful investment, it has the potential to be a high value example of this classic convertible SUV.
