I've been thinking about an old (60's) International Scout. They are
relatively small, usually with 4wd and hi/lo ranges, and get reasonable
milage (>20?) though are somewhat underpowered (I'm told) with a small
4 cylinder motor. Best of all, they can be found around here (NW Oregon)
for <$1000. I would like to hear any (objective) comments, particularly
from Scout owners on them. For example, are the rear axles as prone to
breakage as I've heard?
