At the 2021 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Ford unveiled the F-100 Eluminator concept truck, an electromod restoration of a 1978 F-100 repowered with the electric vehicle drivetrain and front and rear suspension subframes taken from the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition.

But it would not exactly be reasonably priced...

Ford Performance engineer Brian Novak said that since the engineering drawings were finished, a second example could be built for "McLaren money, not Bugatti money", which Motor Trend estimated to be $500,000.

    Look at the maverick. They're impossible to get - I think they would sell as many as they could make at least for the first few years

      My grandfather took good care of his small to mid-size truck and after he died my grandmother was able to sell it for like 10k despite it being like 10 years old because you just can't get that type of truck these days.

      How come? Is it because they were actually used as work vehicles and were beaten up more than a sedan from the same era?
