Whole or in pieces?

Never seen a Shelby truck before. Quite a beast. Supercharged according to the badge on the bonnet.

Also quite a nice Chev. Perfect condition.

Depending on the boost, that could be a 700+ bhp pickup.

Nice crew cab Chevy. 56 Bel Air

"Hey I gotta run to the office downtown. I'm taking the defender so I better pack the extra large ice chest and an extra can of fuel"

At least they are pretending to use it.

I’ve just been to a place in northern Virginia that thinks it’s in the Cotswolds. It’s all defenders, discos and Minis.

Oh and a Mazza.

So Maseratis? I like, but I suspect they’re a disappointment.

Do all those parking in the photo call a taxi to take them to the side-walk? Or do you all park in the middle of the road?

We sat in a cafe and the repetitive joke was, shall we offer to he,p them park.

Often there is loads of room and wide streets, but this place had relatively small roads, but everyone seemed very scared of kerbing their allloys.

perhaps, but I always turn my head when i see one! Previous neighbor had a 4 door model and it sounded good, but not as good as his Cobra.

You're giving them FAR too much credit for caring about their car. They're too stupid to know how far they are or how large their car isn't.

And hell, that's close to the curb compared to some around here in Atlanta

A couple of well kept machines spotted in Melbourne.

Indeed. In this case 755bhp. Enough to get into a whole lotta trouble!

Not cheap in this part of the world though. Discovered that the owner parted with AU $269,000 for it landed here and converted to RHD with a couple of options!

**joeb** · 7 Nov 2022, 18:55 (Ref:4132915)

Not sure what this is probably a Scout of some type? But it can move at hwy speeds!

Think that's a Harvester Scout. I'm not up to snuff on Internationals...

broadrun96 · 8 Nov 2022, 13:47 (Ref:4132983)

Yeah, 2 door was a Scout. The 4 dr version was the Carryall. I think that's rounded enough to be the Scout II

The more I look I think it's something else, look like a full liftgate on the back not a tailgate and window. But aftermarket makes some odd things and they were all removable top I think

1979 International Harvester Scout II Traveler?

How big, how much of a following do Scout have? Obviously I now know about it, but never lived it as I’m from foreign fields.
And then when out for a walk saw a neighbour had one in his garage! Complete with massive poster behind it.

Now that you've seen one, you want to see them all - Ron White

Following devote but much smaller than Jeeps because nothing is as crazy as that and they stopped making them a long time ago. International has some really cool stuff, with, IMHO, the smaller Scouts being the coolest. However, as my dad said of a friend of his that had one, always referred to it as "That damn Scout." Not the most reliable.

I saw three or four parked in a field earlier this year but can't find a pic. Maybe I didn't take one....

American version of a British sportscar of the 60-70s??

Think I can convince Morgan that's needed? Can make it a camper/smoker part time bakery rig?

All are correct options.

Not correct is this display on an old Chrysler. I'm sure it's gonna smell thicker than Shakira's thighs soon if not already
