The Earliest Scout in Existence

Mike Ismail · 02-02-2007, 07:14 AM

Mike and Debra Ismail own the earliest Scout in existence. It is Serial # FC522. Model 80 2WD half cab in original condition. We even have original engine # 952. Restoration started on Dec. 27, 46 years to the day vehicle was built. Resto will be completed in time for the Scout Nationals in August and will be at the show.

Congradulations to Mike for taking the Ted Ornas Award on this Scout which is a once in a lifetime award given at the Annual IH and Scout Nationals. The restoration of the Scout was absolutely perfect.

I took only a few at the show. Doesn't really show much of the Scout. I'm sure Mike will post some up when he gets a chance.
