Friend of mine bought a brand-new Scout II Traveler back in 1978. It had the 345. The only mechanical problem he had was heat affecting the points(a homemade heat shield fixed it).

It was repaired and repainted; my friend drove it for three or four years and sold it. He missed it so much that he bought it back, put all-new sheet metal on it, and drove it until the frame rusted in two at 175,000 miles. He hated to part with it.

He still grins when he talks about it.
