If they put a gas or diesel engine in it I might give it a look. Otherwise, no way.

great way to sell EVs, to put them in classics. If the Jaguar XKE EV (that dumbass Harry drove off in with dumbass Megyn) ever goes into production, I’d buy.

If they wanted to go 'RETRO" they should have used this model:

That’s pretty darn cool.

I love the retro look.

If my 06 Lariat ever dies, I might just buy one.

My 22 year old son is dating a girl who drove over to our house in a 1975 flatbed ford. Turns out she’s a gear-head, loves the manual transmission, and uses it at her parents ranch. She’s been fixing it up herself with advise from her Dad.

Girl’s got spunk and a lot of personality. She’s going to give him a run for the maoney.

I read about late 70s K5 converted to electric.

The space in the back would have to have a respectable generator fitted to where I would trust it beyond short hops.

Yeah, maybe a 390. And sell it for four grand.

Back in the 80s, an uncle had a mint 67 SS Chevelle that was a work of art.

He also had a beat up version of the truck pictured except it was green.

The Chevelle is not missed to this day. That old Ford he cared about.

Thanks for posting that beauty. I’m with all who agree.

Although. Electric? Without the husky muffler rapping? What kind of sacrilege would that be?
