Transcript

Somebody put a Tier three fifty Voodoo engine in a 1995 Ford f one fifty, and it's for sale on marketplace. This truck is absolutely absurd, and I love it. Because I find it worst the rarest and most unique cars for sale on marketplace, so if you like that, drop me a follow. Such as this thing. Because check your calendars. It's not April fools day. Under the hood, as I mentioned, is a Tier three fifty Voodoo engine. What? Shout out Worst Thompson for finding this. This is absolutely nuts. Somebody put a ton of time and work into this, and it's actually awesome. New headliner, a lot of custom things as you can see right tier, LED lights on the inside and outside. I absolutely love the wheels. They're lightning generation two rims in a powder coated gunmetal gray. According to the listing, the rear brakes are from an SVT Cobra Mustang. Bad, 140,000 miles. The engine, 17,400 miles. This thing seriously must be insane. Kinda hard to see, but got a little wing on the rear there. Here's a little look at the underside here. Original paint, apparently, best, yeah, it can be yours for $50,000. Also, make sure to take a look at the listing because there's a lot more on there I didn't talk about.
