I had an international scout. It was ‘ok’.

I did, too, in the late 1970s. My Dad bought it used in the 1960s and eventually gave it to me. Mostly rugged but crude. Great New England snow car - it had limited slip on both ends, which meant that if you could get just ONE wheel on traction, it would move. Had it's mechanical quirks, and the body rusted, but after running it for about 5-6 years more I sold it to a New York deer hunter who was overjoyed to get it.

Mine had a slant 4 cyl engine(half the international b8 I believe). On long trips the vibration would loosen the starter motor bolts and it would be hanging there.
