1978 International Scout Traveler

Restoration Example

Where authenticity collides with artisanal customization, you’ll find this Velocity-built 1978 Scout Traveler.

Description

With a beach-vibe motif in mind, this custom 1978 International Scout Traveler is one of the best classic IH Scout restomods ever crafted by Velocity Restorations.

First impressions are everything, and this Scout doesn’t disappoint. The custom paint with overlaid painted stripe looks period correct, and the look flows perfectly into the two-tone custom hard top with hand-built roof rack. Even the gaskets are custom, 3D printed exactly for this build. From the three-piece custom billet wheels to JW Speaker LED headlights, Velocity’s passionate craftsmanship shines through.

Not to be overshadowed, the interior receives the royal treatment including a completely custom teak interior. The Velocity Custom interior has been fitted, as well as lowering the floor to add a third row. Precision-machined interior panels and a custom-wrapped headliner ramp up the appearance, and comfort is ensured with a fourth-gen Vintage Air climate system. Enjoy finishing touches including digital gauges, RetroSound head unit, and a rearview mirror that doubles as a backup camera.

When you turn the key, an LS3 V8 roars to life, spinning its 17-inch wheels with an automatic transmission. Along with Velocity Custom headers, an all-new drivetrain has been installed. For comfort and stability, the Velocity team installed rear self-leveling air suspension.
