The Patriot had a hard top and the same blue/red side applique, but was available in a Scout II, Terra or Traveler. Sales figures on the Patriot only show 1 Terra, 7 Travelers, and 50+ Scout IIs were manufactured. However there were another undetermined number of Patriots built without Line-ticket code designations (the applique was applied at the TSPC (Truck Sales Processing Center)) making it difficult to know just how many were actually built. Nevertheless, both models can be considered extremely rare.
I have received the line ticket and all the option match the two trucks referred above.
With it having the short top it may very well be a Spirit. If the owner removed the soft top because of functionality. Either way this is a great find and bargain for someone willing to go the extra mile and restore this classic.
I have determined that;
If someone is serious about this ad then they will find the time to come and check it out.
Dont ask me for more pictures or waste my time with countless questions..Come to Duvall and take a look.
Remember you are getting 2 scouts for $4,000
