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.
I have one of these small trucks right now and I've gotten an offer on it literally every time I've had the oil changed. It's a manual that gets almost 30mi/gallon with a thigh height bed. Honestly I love the thing to death and when it breaks down in going to be pretty upset.
So considering how much positive attention I get I'd say it would have a lot of demand.
