1979 Ford F-150 Restomod Is Actually A 2014 Supercharged Ford Raptor in Disguise

After the 1967 Mustang Restomod from South Africa that we showed you last week, we stumbled upon yet another truly special build. Believe it or not, you're about to witness a 2014 Stage 2 Roush supercharged Ford SVT Raptor hiding in plain sight as a 1979 Short Box, Regular Cab Ford F-150. They've actually had to strech the cab 4 inches (101 mm) to make things fit. And if that doesn't sound crazy enough, wait until you hear its name.

"We named it the Squirrel, cause it's kind of like trying to hang on to one when you turn it loose", according to Dan from Sweet Brothers Restomod. That does make sense, considering the fact that a stock 2014 Ford Raptor would've had an output of 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft (588 Nm) of torque, but with the Roush Stage 2, it should be capable of hitting 590 horsepower and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm).

So this basically just looks like a truck from the late 70s, but is, in fact, an almost brand new vehicle with all the electronics working, such as heated and cooled leather seats, satellite radio, front and rear cameras, and so on so forth. As Dan adds, "Everything's on here except for the electric mirrors, we don't like the electric mirrors so we did do away with that".

This is basically the first completed build of the Sweet Brothers Restomod company. Still, it looks like they're already quite busy, as they're currently also working on a Crew Cab Bronco on a 2012 Raptor Chassis with a stage 1 supercharger and another '79 Crew Cab built on a Raptor as well. The Squirrel is currently up for sale, and we wouldn't be surprised really if the asking price is over $100,000.
