Not quite a barn find,but close enough..lol. I`ve been waiting on the call to make an offer on this one for about a year. Itsa 1968 Internationall Travelall,but it`s ok because they used the same body style all the way through the 1960`s. It`s been sitting in a back yard for a few years,I moved it a year ago to get the Scout out from behind it that I was given. I was also told I would get first dibs on this one,and they kept their word. I really don`t want to say what I paid for it though,you guys would have mass heart-attacks!! It was supposedly originally owned by the Hoover Family,you know...the vacuum people.
That is a very nice looking Harvester. My Dad had a Crew Cab P/U(about the same vintage) back in the day... I thought it was the ugliest damn thing( would love to have it now though).. but it was 'bulletproof'.
Looks like a creampuff! Excellent score. I love how it is so stock looking. Izzat a cap of some sort on the right front fender?
Sweet.. Travelall's are cool... lifted 4x4 Cummins powered Travelall's are cooler.. Would make a bitchin' tow rig with the right motorvation... Like a Cummins...
Jim, that is a beautiful Harvester. My friend Dave would love that, he's been a Harvester guy his whole life cause his dad worked for them forever. His dad still has a Scout Traveler ( long wheel base ) sitting in his garage , he never drives it. I'll bring him by one of these days so he can see it , HEY wanna sell it ??? MIKE
Nice. I don't remember seeing any Scout this clean ever, usually they were used and abused. This is an exceptional find. I see the tow strap still hangin on the front bumper, does she run?
It`ll run. Didn`t know what was inside the gas tank,so we were better off tugging her outta the yard.
That binder hasn/t seen the salt very much or the fenders would be falling off it. Nice. I started as an engineer for IH back in er uh 69
I dont care what it is, if it's a true survivor as this is, I LOVE it! They are only original once. I have a 1966 Amphicar with 4k miles on it, stored since 1968 with the 1968 Michigan plates still on it. I love 'em all but I have a special place for true survivors. Awesome find!!
Stuck a battery in it and it fired right up....but the carburetor leaks like a mofo!! Won`t be able to touch it for about a week though,so it`ll hafta sit outside for just a lil while longer. Need to get the 2 O/T cars finished and out of the garage so the F100 and it`s new garage buddy can go in there.
WOW! Nice find you can hear those 60s cornbinders rust on a quiet day! I know first hand! Take care of that one!!!
When I lived in Muskegon, I used to see a tan Travelall almost daily going the opposite direction on my commute to school. They're very cool. Crazy thing is, by comparison with a modern 4WD SUV, they already look lowered. -Dave
