Equipped with a 4 speed manual transmission this baby could climb a tree if it maintained traction and fuel in the carb.

I built this truck the way I wanted it to be. YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS as per THE SCOUT CONNECTION, which has been restoring IH vehicles for more than 25 years! They've never restored another original low mileage vehicle quite like this with these options! They sponsor and attend many IH vehicle shows per year and have a great knowledge of the current collector demand trend for these vehicles. The value of these ultra low mileage vehicles in this condition are increasing daily, Original low mileage International vehicles values have increased upwards of 77% in the past 4 years and are becoming THE next collectable, try to find one with this type of original low mileage and duplicate it to these standards for this price! Replacement value of this vehicle has been quoted as being in the $60K range due to it's rarity and EXCELLENT overall condition and if you viewed the vehicle you would agree on the quality. If you're a serious collector then you need this in your collection, NO ONE OWNS ONE LIKE IT! Most IH Mini pumpers(1969-1975) were equipped with either 3 speed Borg Warner or 727 Torqueflite (Chrysler) automatic transmissions, this vehicle is one of the exceptions being equipped with a 4 speed manual transmission as ordered instead. Spare parts are easily obtained at reasonable prices from numerous US based suppliers.This vehicle is currently located in Humble, Texas. This vehicle is Barrett-Jackson quality.It is truly the best low mileage example known to exist! UPDATE: I've received many inquires concerning this vehicle, please READ the description details carefully to gain an idea of just how GREAT and RARE this vehicle is, this being said, only REASONABLE offers will be considered! Please don't expect to get this vehicle for peanuts, if you don't have or can't get the money, please look at other seller's vehicles instead! The asking price is representative of the QUALITY and RARITY of the vehicle, try to find one like this for the asking price. Thanks! |
