The Scout SV was off the display floor for about a week or so in the last year, Since it had not be started or driven since about 1980. There is a video on you tube that show's that they  cleaned out the gas tank, fuel lines and got the Scout SV Running/driveable again. Seen the Scout SV at both Auburn then at the First Harvester Homecoming at Fort Wayne Indiana.  One person has a remaining body of a Scout SV Of the 30  Protoype's there are only the one at auburn and his. all others were destroyed.  Side Note This wasn't the Scout II's replacement but a supplamental Vehical Or SV

So many elegant looking cars. They weren't bashful with colors either. At the time these were produced they would cost more than half a block of medium-priced homes.

I live about half an hour from there.  Actually went to grade school within walking distance.

 I highly recommend the place too.  The cars are stunning.  And it goes beyond that.  The building is fantastic too.  Great architecture.  Auburn is where most of those cars were built.  So much history in one place.

Side note- there’s another car and truck museum right behind it.?
