THIS RESTOMODDED INTERNATIONAL SCOUT FROM VELOCITY RESTORATIONS
IS READY FOR SOME SERIOUS EXPLORATION
Pensacola, FL (August 2018) — The 4×4 restoration experts, Velocity Restorations, is proud to announce the completion of its newest project vehicle, a fully restomodded 1979 International Scout II.
The International Scout was manufactured in Indiana by International Harvester, a well-known truck, farm equipment, and heavy machinery company. The original Scouts, while distinctive looking, weren’t known for longevity and performance. But with Velocity Restorations’ touch, this International Scout is a retro-looking modern-day off-roader and show vehicle with many years ahead of it.
Velocity Restorations specializes in frame off modified restorations for modern driving, comfort and reliability. With meticulous attention to detail every piece of the car was restored, and the historically underpowered Scout was equipped with a much more capable powertrain. The result is more than 1,500 hours of meticulous labor and a Scout that performs as good as it looks.
“We are really proud of our International Scout,” said Brandon Segers, owner of Velocity Restorations. “We found this model in a Texas oil field. We stripped it to the bare metal, and started the frame off restomod process. Every nut and bolt is brand new, the powertrain is improved, and it looks stunning.”
