Finally I got my hands on a Scout, shown here pretty much like I bought it. As you can see, it has a dent in the passenger rear tailight, but that's it. The roof (barely noticeable in this pic, but fairly extensive) needs some rust removal.. surface cancer all over. Some minor nicks and dings here and there.. and the paint job isn't the prettiest, but...
Other problems I've found: rust holes at the rear of the front fenders - there's a "ledge" in there that likes to hold mud/rock/salt/water and other cancer causing materials.. so my passengers (and me) get a good mud bath when I bury it up to the hood in mud.. ($675 to fix it!!) There's also a small amount of surface rust on the hood, and the rocker panels and inside of the fenders, but nothing big.

Anyhow.. that's what it came with. I paid $1700 for the beast from a friend of mine. Full documentation. I'm the third owner. Since then, I've made a few upgrades / repairs to my new toy..
