My dad, Skip, purchased this 1976 Scout II in the summer of 1976 from the local dealership in San Jose, CA. It was a demo vehicle that the sales manager used so he got a good deal on basically a brand new Scout. My dad loved deals!
Tell us about your Scout:
My dad loved his Scout! I believe based on the meticulous maintenance notes my dad took on the Scout that it has around 250,000 miles on it. He used it everyday to commute from San Jose to San Francisco for work. He did all the maintenance on it and I used to help him as a kid growing up. I also remember washing and waxing it as part of my chores but later when I was old enough to drive it was one of the first cars I got to learn how to drive with at the local community college. Last year on July 4 my father passed and my brother agreed that I could take the Scout. So I had it transported out to TN where I plan to restore it. It runs great but there are some things that need to be done to it. Whenever I see it and drive it around it reminds me of my dad and brings a smile to my face.
