Both of these Scouts – a 1932 Indian and a 1974 International – came through the Hemmings.com classified system within minutes of each other, and while they have little to nothing in common, either intrinsically or in their individual histories, they both stood out for some reason. Could just be the red-and-black combination. Could just be the name. Could be something else. From the Indian’s description:
1932 Indian Scout Pony 30.50 ci, Fully Restored, Operable, Operating Manuals Available along with full title history
And from the International’s description:

Which would you take, and why?
