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 truck for what it was originally intended for. Now it's a piece of shit pavement princess

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?

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.

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.

Pretty sure that's a Canyanero

Does it smell like a steak and seat 35?
