In 2021 Ford made a concept car that's an an electromod restoration of a 1978 F-100...
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.
Idk but I've never wanted a car more than that F-100 concept one. It's just so cute!
Generally I love older styles of cars I think. Hopefully it doesn't lose much in terms of aero and crumple zones tho.
Somehow when I first saw it I thought it was a regular truck a year or two away from being available.
Me too. I like the 1960s and 1970s the most. Like the 1970 stepside Chevrolet C10 pickup. Starting around ~1990 I lost the ability to even remember particular car models. So often they look the generic and the same to me. It's similar but far weaker for trucks because the grills can be distinctive. But I usually really hate the designs.
