What’s Good About an International Scout II? If You’re Lucky, You Can Trade It For a ’67 M715!
That’s what Chad Molitor did back in 1997. Chad was looking for an M715 for a few years when he heard about one with a blown head gasket near his Woodbury, Tennessee, home. Putting his bartering skills to good use, Chad handed over the keys of the Scout in exchange for the Kaiser, and despite the blown head gasket, the old soldier limped back to its new home where an intensive four-month buildup would occur. Out went the Hurricane six with the bad gasket, and in went a fairly stock Trans Am LT1. With some help from friend Travis Hickman, Chad’s Kaiser was further enhanced by some trick sheetmetal fabrication. The result: A former army Jeep that would make any Hummer look stupid.
