Wow!!! This is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. I have been obsessed with Scouts since i was 13 (now 30). I have never seen this special edition before. I thought the first couple of photos were a Scout Traveler at first. It would be amazing to come across a "Sunrider" top for my Scout. That top is awesome looking.In 1978-1979 I was designing special edition Scouts for CVI. Custom Vehicles International was the exclusive source for Special Edition International Scouts for 1979-1980. Scouts were a tough sell against Bronco, Blazer and Ramcharger because women didn't like them as well. The owner of CVI also owned a T-Top company and I came up with a glass-panels T-Top Scout we could build for International called the "Sunriser". Clinic reviews indicated women loved it and it was planned for 1981, but Scout folded after 1980. I designed all the CVI Scouts including the Southeast Zone "Hot Stuff" short pickup and the "Terra Star". I patterned the Sunriser roof design like the "Shorthorn" Bronco I designed at Ford in 1972...
