COMMENTS: This vehicle is a prime example of a pristine original 1980 Traveler. Low mileage and all the options, not to mention a 1980 model, the last year they made the Scouts! It is also a gas engine, even rarer for a 1980! This vehicle has always been garage-kept, never driven in the salt or snow and is originally from Florida. Completely rust-free and in near “showroom” condition, this award-winning vehicle is a coveted prize for any IHC collector and a definite asset for any owner. A highly desirable vehicle that will only increase in value, in current or better condition.
Appraisal based on current market value in our area and could be higher or lower, depending upon where the vehicle is located. Appraisal is also based on The Standard Catalog of American Light-Duty Trucks (Krause Publications) & NADA Collector’s Guide & The Classic Truck Market throughout North America.
