There’s no need to get all dolled-up to see our very special and extremely rare 1969 €œDoll-Up-Scout€ 800A at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. International-Harvester had a knack for driving to the beat of a different drummer and for being ahead of the curve. The Scout was a good example of the latter, offered way before the acronym SUV was coined.
Custom ordered on 7/12/68 and then built in September 1968 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, this Scout 800A is possibly the only one ever built with this unique configuration. Custom and factory-ordered, it was delivered to the Mamaroneck Garage in Mamaroneck, New York. The €œDoll-Up-Scout€ was a high-option model offered to compete with Jeep. It left the factory with options €“ a spare tire carrier, chrome rear bumper, four-wheel disc brakes, dual 10-gallon fuel tanks, white hardtop and a full-width rear seat.
The original extensive documentation for his factory Doll Up Scout is absolutely impressive! Included with the original line setting ticket with the famous “Doll-Up-Scout” stamp, the original dealer order sheet with all the doll up order options, the original bill of sale, the original genuine operators manual with numerous notes from over the years, the original service unit record, the original factory key tag, the original saleprint advertisement for this Scout, battery warranty, letters to and from I-H, Inc., miscellaneous service invoices, insurance and license papers from over the years. One of the most interesting pieces is the original Motor Truck Service Manual is included and is COMPLETELY filled out correctly with service and parts logs from the original owner form 1969 to 2012 with no gaps whatsoever! We have never seen such a thorough owners log such as this! Another interesting piece is one of the letters to I-H came from the original owner, who asked for engine data not included in the original owner’s manual, verifying the wrong carb jet is specified in the owner’s manual and inquiring how to cure minor suspension and clutch linkage issues.
Finished in white over Bahama Blue, the beautiful new paint and trim are in excellent condition, including the steel travel-top. The truck’s glass panels are clear and intact. Its lights are in one piece and crack-free. Its body panels are straight and solid. The cargo bay is in very good order behind the rear seat, the engine bay is very tidy and the original wheel covers and the bumpers are in very good order.
Under the hood is a Commando 196 CID four-cylinder engine bolted to a T-44 four-speed manual transmission, which connects to a RA-23 single-reduction rear axle with a Power-Lok limited-slip differential.
Inside, the original bucket seats and door panels have been reupholstered in camel to match the original factory interior color and new period and color-correct carpet has been installed. The front buckets look great, the camel color looks almost golden in certain lights. The rear bench seat also looks good. There is no review mirror, however the instrument panel, with its full set of gauges, is in good order. The original, two-spoke steering wheel looks decent. The inner door panels without armrests, mirror glass and shift lever are all in good order. Rounding out this interior is a classic Audiovox solid-state AM/FM radio.
The Scoutwasproduced from 1961 to 1980. A precursor of more sophisticatedSUVsto come, it was created as a competitor to theJeep, and it initially featured a fold-downwindshield. The Scout and second generation Scout II were produced as two-door trucks with a removable hard top with options of a full-length roof, half cabpickupand/or soft-top.
November 1968 saw the introduction of the 800A, which replaced the 800. Improvements included more creature comfort options, a slightly different front-end treatment, drivetrain upgrades (heavier rear axle and quieterDana20 transfer case) and the options of: 196 four-cylinder, 232 six-cylinder, 266 V-8 or the 304 V-8. The inline-six was only offered for a short period in early 1969.The 800A’s grille was in three segments: the center grill and two matte black headlight bezels. TheLight Lineof pickup trucks received bodywork similar to that of the Scout in late 1969.
With the transition to the 800A model, the rear axle was upgraded to aDana 44, with a centered differential mated to the Dana 20 transfer case (which had replaced the Dana 18).
Competition to this International in 1969 included Jeep’s CJ-5, Chevrolet’s K5 Blazer and Ford’s Bronco.

About International
Let's delve into the history of International Harvester (IH), a renowned American company known for its trucks and agricultural equipment, and explore different models in a narrative way.

The Foundation of International Harvester:
International Harvester, often abbreviated as IH, was established in 1902 through the merger of several smaller companies, including the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Deering Harvester Company, and several others. The newly formed company aimed to become a major player in the agricultural and industrial machinery sectors.

Early Focus on Farm Equipment:
Initially, International Harvester concentrated on producing agricultural equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, and plows. The company's Farmall tractor line, introduced in the 1920s, was a significant milestone. These tractors were versatile and affordable, playing a crucial role in revolutionizing farming practices in the United States and beyond.

International Trucks:
In the 20th century, International Harvester expanded its product offerings by venturing into the truck manufacturing business. International trucks quickly gained a reputation for their durability and reliability, making them a staple for commercial applications, from delivery vehicles to heavy-duty workhorses. The Scout, a compact SUV introduced in the 1960s, became a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts.

Growth and Evolution:
International Harvester continued to grow and diversify its product range. The company produced a variety of truck models, from small pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The Loadstar and the Travelall are notable examples of popular International truck models from the mid-20th century.

Challenges and Transformation:
In the 1970s, International Harvester faced financial challenges, including a downturn in the agricultural market and increased competition in the truck industry. As a response, the company underwent significant changes. It rebranded its truck division as Navistar International Corporation, focusing on truck manufacturing and engine production, while its agricultural equipment business was spun off into the Case Corporation, forming Case IH.

Legacy and Modern Times:
The International Harvester name, synonymous with rugged trucks and farm equipment, continues to live on in the hearts of many enthusiasts. International trucks are still found on the road, with a strong presence in the commercial vehicle sector. Navistar International Corporation continues to be a significant player in the truck manufacturing industry, adapting to the changing landscape with advancements in technology, environmental concerns, and customer needs.

International Harvester's history is a story of innovation and adaptability in the face of challenges, reflecting its legacy of producing reliable vehicles and equipment that have played pivotal roles in American agriculture and transportation
