I love everything about this!
Love this thing but 420HP out of a modern 7.3L engine is weak sauce. The GM 5.3L truck motors make nearly that much power stock. The HP rating shouldn’t be the highlight of this build.

You’d be surprised what boost can do. The link isn’t loading for me, but I’d imagine that’s an NA motor. Otherwise, yeesh
Yeah it’s NA, its the bigger gas engine option in current model year F-350s.
It is a highlight because older cars didn’t make HP like today’s engines do. So getting an older car with modern car horsepower is a big deal.
Stock they didn’t, but this thing is far from stock and older V8 motors could easily be woken up with heads, intake, and headers. It’s definitely a cool swap but it seems like they wasted a ton of potential. I suppose this does give the new owner something to work on which might be ideal depending on the buyer.
Edit: not even really a waste of potential, more that it’s not really impressive when you have smaller engines out there coming with 500, 600, 700HP from the factory via superchargers and what not.
Pretty sure that’s a Canyanero
Does it smell like a steak and seat 35?
Listed in an auction, $55,500 bid…reserve not met. Yikes, what do they want for it?
More than I’d be willing to pay. I’d be happy at $30k for this, but if $55k didn’t make it who do they imagine it’s the customer?
It looks cool af but isn’t worth more than $30k. What the fuck are these idiots thinking, no one is stupid enough to buy this piece of shit car that gets less than 10MPG fuel guzzling weak ancient naturally asperated engine that doesn’t produce enough torque to tow even the smallest sidecar even after significant aesthetic upgrades.
Edit: these dipshits added suede to the interior bed liner so you can’t even use the vehicle for what it was originally intended for. Now it’s a piece of shit pavement princess
🤣
Yawn
Not a fan?
Don’t get me wrong, I always wanted one of these, had an f150 back in the day, but these days 420hp isn’t even entry level for a lot of basic cars.
For sure!
