The exact production number specifically for the International Scout II is not separately detailed in the provided information. However, a total of 532,674 International Scouts were manufactured during the entire production period from 1960 to 1980, which encompasses all models, including the Scout II.
Understanding International Scout Production
The International Scout series, known for its rugged utility, had a significant production run spanning two decades. While the original Scout model was approved for production in mid-1965 and first introduced in 1960, the Scout II was a later iteration, launched in 1971. Its basic sheet metal design remained consistent until the entire Scout production ceased on October 21, 1980.
The total production figure of 532,674 units represents the cumulative output of all Scout variations manufactured by International Harvester between 1960 and 1980. This grand total includes the early Scout models (Scout 80, Scout 800) and the subsequent Scout II.
Key Production Milestones
To provide context, here's a brief overview of the International Scout's production timeline:
- 1960: Introduction of the original International Scout model.
- 1965 (mid): Original Scout approved for production.
- 1971: Introduction of the Scout II.
- October 21, 1980: Production of all International Scout models, including the Scout II, officially stopped.
| Model Series | Production Period | Total Production (All Scouts) |
|---|---|---|
| International Scout | 1960 – 1980 | 532,674 units |
| Scout II | 1971 – 1980 | Included in total |
While the precise number of Scout IIs alone remains an unsegregated figure within the comprehensive total, its contribution to the overall 532,674 vehicles produced during the later nine years of the production run was substantial. Enthusiasts and collectors often value these vehicles for their robust construction and historical significance in the off-road vehicle market.
