- This is the F-100 Eluminator concept and it is based on a heritage 1978 F-100 pickup however there’s a major difference between the two.
In this video I’m going to let you know what I think about this design and overall concept because whether you’re a fan of EVs or not, this is a special truck.
Once we’ve analyzed this design I’m going to show you my 3 favorite classic EV restomods currently for sale.
So in case you didn’t guess it by now the F-100 Eluminator Concept is all-electric and all-wheel drive thanks to two powerful electric motors that are shared with the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition.
Two electric motors drive the front and rear wheels giving the F-100 Eluminator a massive 480 horsepower and 634 lb.-ft. of torque. Eluminator, the first e-crate motor from Ford Performance Parts, is based on the Mustang Mach-E GT’s traction motor.
You can buy this motor online for a very reasonable $3,900 through Ford Performance Parts however it sold out pretty quick so if you want one right now, you’re gonna have to wait until they’re back in stock.
What I would like to know is what awesome projects are people going to use this motor, I’d love to see all of them.
Here’s why restomodding classic cars into EVs won’t work. Not according to me, but to a lot of people. They say you can never get the feeling of a V8 from an electric motor - it doesn’t rumble on startup, there are no vibrations throughout the chassis when you rev it, no noise or drama.
It’s like the engine wants to run free and show you what it can do. All you have to do is put it in gear and floor it to unleash the beast and hear it scream as it transports you into another dimension you’ll never forget.
They say this is impossible with an EV. They say it doesn’t have a soul. It lacks a heartbeat.
And you know what, I can completely see where they’re coming from. Converting let’s say a muscle car into an EV is like eating a plant based burger. It might look the same but you know something’s off. It just doesn’t feel right.
But let’s quickly jump into Photoshop and let me give you another perspective on these types of restomods. Maybe, just maybe you’ll change your mind.

i'd rather see classic vehicles get converted to EV and stay on the road instead of eventually not being able to be driven because of new laws/legislation and thus end up sitting somewhere never to be used.
I’d rather they stay on the road with the original engines and have the government stay out of it
Porsche makes e-fuel compatible with unleaded and leaded gasoline engines. You can fill up a 100 year old car with it and it will run in all it's former glory. At first they will use the fuel for their race cars, then they'll make more for classics.
@@martydeem404 yeah exactly, why bow down to stupid legislation? there r alternative fuels, and one can make new parts like 3D printing. The drive train is the soul of the car, and electric will kill that.
@@nikoleigraham8747 because we are literally in a climate crisis
@@spork8721 have a look at the numbers, classic cars are way too few to have even the smallest impact, it just doesn’t make any sense to practically make them illegal because climate concerns.
oh my god, what a video Bembli, Im a huge fun of these cars and absolutely think this is the coolest way to bring back classics cars. Really hope these companies don't bankrupt lol because these things are just fucking gorgeous
EV restomods could also be great for cars that have little to no aftermarket parts. If it can't be restored to its former glory due to the inability to find parts, why not make it an EV?
I think it would be cool if car manufacturers came out with modernized electric versions of certain cars
The Opel Manta is supposed to be coming back
@@joshfisher6383 it'll be an SUV like the electric "Mustang" though.
I wish they would/could do this even with modern ice engine. Would love to have a 70's, 80's or 90's style f150 with a 3.5l eb. But there is no way those would pass safety regulations now and everyone is all about the technology now so they wouldn't sell enough to justify
Regulations have changed so much that most of those classic cars would be illegal to sell today regardless of drive train.
I see the whole EV restomod cars for people/collectors that love how old cars look but don't want to pollute the world while daily it. Even more if they are driving in Central London, for example, you don't want to poison people with your crappy 60's emissions!
Just add a catalytic converter
@@falcongamer58 sure bud.
@@nothinglessthannumbers he’s not wrong
@@tony_5156 Totally. Cats are just as clean as EVs. Keep talking.
@@nothinglessthannumbers Cats aren't perfect, but they're certainly better than unfiltered exhaust. EVs do have a big advantage there, but the cost is still a big issue. Plus an EV conversion does kinda pull the soul from the original.
My favourite EV restomod is a VW Thing.
Every automaker should have this as their end goal. Retro designs from the 50s-70s with an updated powertrain. The soul will lie in the designs, not the engines, and even tho that sucks, id rather have one than none.
Restomods are the way to go as most designs now aren't great compared to the older cars
Honestly, I think that EV restomods will actually be quite successful because for one obviously they do not pollute and since this isn't intended to be a sports car, I think it will sell quite well.
You ever heard a detomaso pantera???? Don’t think so
@@edharris3668 an ev concerted high hp awd pantera would be sick. It was literally the American powered lambo.
@@4literv6 you must be deaf then
Ev pollutes more and contributes more to harmful heavy metal extraction and production way more than normal cars ev is a scam in every sense
They pollute tons when you have to get a new battery
I am very much excited for the future and EV restomods. I may be a big baby, but if i'm honest, while I love muscle cars, I hate the no-cat, fumey smells of them. They give me a headache. I love a vintage mustang fastback, but if I had to smell those gasses every time I drove it, I wouldn't drive it much. I'm really hoping that there will be boutique manufacturers that can get this sort of resto-mod down to a science and begin offering a wide variety of EVs. I personally would love to have a 240z with all-wheel drive EV power!
There is no need to destroy a classic car, if all you like is the look of the car, you can get an EV kit car made in that style and save yourself a ton of money while also not destroying an irreplaceable piece of history.
I don't know if it just me, but the look of old vehicles like this truck is just so damn beautiful, mainly because every other company are into aerodynamic and smoothing things out so much that it just becomes a smooth blob of aluminum. If there is a battery with a good long range 600+ you can get away with restomods old vehicle to be EV but you will sacrifice range for sure, but if you just want an old looking vehicle just for local driving around town or city, sure. I can see it being useful, though will be a niche product. Kind of like the early 2 doors tiny cars meant for local driving not for highway cruising. Also hauling will be so limited which is what those trucks are made for. But if long range isn't a concern cause you'll be recharging it every night or two, then yeah it will work. However, considering how everything is trending, they will be left in the dust compare to other EV with 600+ mile range or more.
Very interested Video ❣️👍🏼
The Alfa and the Ford Truck, my favorites on your list.
Alfa Romeo was never a interesting brand for me, but how this restomod stands and looks, is awesome.
I think in my next life I become a millionaire and can buy so beautiful things like car restomods.
For me with gas engines please, so long it's possible 🙏🏼
Love from Berlin 🇩🇪

1:35 so converting classics into evs won't work cus you can't get the feeling of the v8?
Such a sad loss for me, I won't be able to convert my i4 diesel discovery because it won't feel like a v8 😭
Lmao. I've heard that land rovers and land cruisers (I guess bigger off-road vehicles in general) are great for EV conversions, since they have loads of space for batteries.
@@Jackofafewtrades and their engines aren’t that desirable
Prices for electrifying your classic are bound to come down moving forward which is great; a new lease on life and more go-fast potential for the classic. I would love to be in the business of doing this and the industry will undoubtedly grow. Thanks for vid sketch, really like the cars featured.
That alfa romeo ať the end is stunning! 🤩 I would LOVE to see such restomods everywhere, especially knowing that they don’t really have much future left as gas cars.
My squarebody on 37s begs to differ. I love this thing so much I’m tossing around the idea of buying another foxbody just to Tesla swap it.
On another note, I do need a gas vehicle in my garage though so I’ll never get rid of my gassers.
Sounds like a crazy garage!
Its a 79..not 60s design.
He knows how to draw but his car knowledge in general makes me angry sometimes.
I like that Alfa and that Peugeot retro EV.
But when will you work on modernized a 1980 Ford Mustang
Now you can call this real car unlike today
It doesn’t rumble. WGAF?
Love the vids bro str8 from Jersey !! Can you do a first Gen 1966-67 Dodge Charger ?? I'm losing my mind Trying to come up with a cool re-design lol.. HELP PLEASEEEE LOL 🤔🤯🤣
I like the idea of getting new technology and putting it in something that is a classic pretty cool
The 'sliding skateboard' is where I thought Tesla would be at this point, as a supplier to other car companies...
"It doesn't have a heartbeat." I think that's the best example of the difference in feel.
Big cities could do the classic NYC taxi model (85 Chevy Caprice maybe) EV mode for a tourists attraction. I think it would work well.
Ev restomods make sense for cars where the engine always let it down for example the Citroen D.S
Or the DeLorean
Cool mid 1970's F-100, notice the channel running the length of the truck, a.k.a. the "trough side" 1973-1979 F-100 and F-150 body...NOT a 60's model Ford.
Personally, I have owned several F series trucks through the years, and also learned body & paint at Scarbrough Ford during early 70's. Crazy times....whew!
I'd like to resto-mod and old 2 door Maverick some day soon, but first gotta finish the 88 Thunderbird S project, it's getting Mustang IRS and possibly a Coyote...then finished in a mudered candy. ;-))
Totem Automobilii who makes the Alfas have a V6 version and it is perfection.
Surprised he didn't talk about the Polestar P1900
I pulled my 302 and tranny out of my 69 convertible and sent it into shelby for a work over. Bought a Webb electric 302 block. Slid right in. Bolts lined up. With the batteries supplied on the electric replacement block I got 500 electric horsepower and 80 mile range. Once I changed the gas tank out for batteries. I got 240 mile range. It’s respectable. Although it’s quite. I can’t complain about the instant power. Once I got the motor and batteries. Took four hours. Nice about webbs kit. It’s pre programed, computer module is already hooked up. So all you have to do is remove the old gas motor, tranny and gas pedal. Then put the new ones in. Hook of the water lines. And When your ready. Remove the old gas tank and put the battery tray in where the gas tank was. I had no intention of keeping the car electric. But now I am. Since I can preserve the og tranny and motor. And scoot around town in a hot car. Because I have over 200 mile range. I only have to deep cycle once a week.
of course it works for some people. its always a matter of taste. Personally i dont like it when a perfectly fine beetle gets its heart ripped out but if i found a beetle shell for example, a resto mod with a 300hp tesla motor sounds absolutely rad. if im building the car myself i dont need a gas engine for it to have a soul.
Well done retro style designed EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq5 or the VW ID Buzz are cool but the thing about actual EV modes is that the heavier frames, limited space for batteries, and over all proportions don't work well.
The best EV Resto Mod is just change the drivetrain and nothing more
And put a bluetooth to radio in the 12v sigaret lighter so you can stream music and maps while keeping the interior stock
The real question is How much are the batteries ?!?!?!
Quite a lot buying the ones from factory, some dudes are able to get em pretty cheap by buying from used Chevy bolts and nissan leafs
EV res to mods are great for classic cars that were really not that reliable. Alfa Romero’s for example are notorious for giving owners trouble. Drop in EV motor and Batteries and those suddenly become a reliable weekend car.
That Alfa rocks !
I disagree because it WILL work for everyone. Glad that I will buy a fully loaded mustang mach-e gt performance edition because restomodding classic cars to electric cars WILL work.
They made it electric for a reason. Its their choice.
This is a great video absolutely love it.. I hate when people try to say that an electric motor swapped into a vehicle doesn't have the same heart and soul as a gas powered engine. That just might be because it's not the same at all and that wasn't the point in putting an electric motor in a classic car in the 1st place.
I can see someone smack that Mach E powerplant in a PT Cruiser for some reason
EDIT: Nevermind, someone did a EV PT Cruiser 11 years ago
Restomod retros r cool & idk y they dont do this more
It's pretty expensive, and electrification is a pain in the butt to figure out. Rewiring an entire car, coming up with custom computer settings, sensors, and a UI for the driver. It's all a lot of planning.
@@MuShinnen well i mean retroing classic designs more so. The electrification is maybe a decade away
@@noiisserpmii That's what I mean. You have to take a car that was built 40 plus years ago, come up with an entirely new wiring harness, computer modules, wiring scheme, ui, safety features. Heck the frames have to be reinforced because of new amounts of torque, etc. It's easier to build an electric car from the ground up because it was always meant to be one vs converting something that ran before real fuel injection was even a standard.
I think it looks amazing.
I'd love to see Pizza Hut buying a lot of restomods Toyotas to use as delivery cars
It won’t work…UNTIL IT DOES! Don’t underestimate the buying capabilities and passion of the EV market. This a dope merger of the vintage and the electric future.
I vote for a conversion kit so we can continue to run our older steeds on the road or off road. As for the lack of engine noise, most people will get over the loss of it. It'll seem odd at first, then as time passes it'll become natural. As long as the speed is still on call that and the handling is what will matter. And the range. If they need noise they can listen to themselves screaming as they press down hard on the accelerator pedal.
The future is electric? Yes, will it work for everyone? No, there’s a keyword for classic cars: Charm. They have that something, the weight, sound and the feeling of not knowing if it’s going to break if pushing it or even if you’re not. It’s simple, you like it/not and now you add a why, yes, I will give kudos and thumbs up watching a physically immaculate Mopar/Mustang/Camaro etc, but you also going to see my disgusted face when the owner tells me it’s electric haha.
Personally my favorite restro-ev would be the Opel Manta. I want that ride badly.
All this does is remind me of the movie cars when they start going EV lol Yeap we going that route
There is no ahh loo mean yum in aluminum. Ya lost me there. Unless your from the UK, then I will accept this.

My god that alfa is beutiful
Now try swapping out a Ferrari v12 in a classic gto with an electric motor and tell us its better
That's already happened and the owner loves it
No one has done that to a 1960 s GTO.if it was done then it was a colossal mistake unless the original engine was kept as to not tank the value. Not to mention the sound and beauty of a Ferrari heart
Carwow did a test of an electric Ferrari lookup ferrari 308gte.
@@4literv6 the 308 Ferrari was a turd, that’s why it was converted
@@martydeem404 it's not anymore with that tesla ldu in it. Perfect solution for old, slow, inefficient but still cool looking cars like that.
Now it gets about 100mpge does 0-60 in under 4sec runs to 155mph and just works every time you get in it. 😎
Some kine of skateboard.... XD really? has anyone heard so why will it never work? somebody? will it ever work because it doesn't have the feeling of a combustion engine? that's it? brillant!
That truck is late '70's to early '80's , not '60's as he keeps repeating.
Porsche makes e-fuel for race cars and classics. The fuel can make any gasoline engine run. I don't see a point of these EV restomods. You have an uncomfortable, unsafe vehicle that only exists because of its looks, not because of its feel and experience.
I would buy it if it had a widebody lfmao
Cool way to avoid any issues with your cars, if they add speakers to replicate engine and exhaust noises that would be cool
They already do that now and they sound like crap.
@@jonathanb1987 yeah honestly speakers that replicate engine noise, even if it sounded perfect would take it from cool to dumb as shit
For restomods, they should have an option to have engine noises playing in multiple places to replicate backfire, and under bonnet vibrations ect
No.
@@88ights why not?
Id EV swap a 71-73 Buick Riviera Boattail
Another title that doesn't match what is said in the video....
The wheels are too small.
i didn't understand the interest of ev restimod
Lookup the aviar r67 for fun. Carbon fiber bodied 1967 reproduction mustang lowered directly over a model s complete awd p100d skateboard, with a tesla inspired sick looking modern interior. Keeps mostly stock looking exterior with better aero and killer wheels.
Now imagine that car but on a plaid model s skateboard instead.
Or on an even lighter cheaper model 3 awd performance skateboard. 😎
Once electrification becomes more common.instead of people swapping LS engines they make anything and everything electric..so yeah it will work and it will catch on.. Specially with gas prices
thats what i hoped for the electric cars in my future. mitsubishi eclipse 1g with electric drivetrain battery in the front sitting low. rear wheel driven. electric cars are built like rc cars. should be easy to implement in every old chassis. but this will never happen because people like to buy ugly cars. i stopped believing. its like popup headlights. its not gonna happen. i will never sell or crush my eclipse. and i dont have the money to buy 15 year old electric cars for 12.000. evs destroy the used car market.
Love the idea but scared of what I suspect about firey accidents due to all those batteries.
209,000+ice vehicle fires in the us alone last year for privately registered cars, another 35,000+for commercial ice vehicle's per the nstb and nhsta statistics. How many ev fires for all off 2020 again? 🤔
This video has little substance
I hate the feel of ICE cars. the transmition feels jerky and the engine is making both an excessive amount of noice and vibration. On the other hand, I love classic car styling. I think retromods have their neiche.
Ignorant statements in the first 2 minutes of the video are a quick way to get me to hit the back button. “IT dOeSn’T mAkE vRoOm VrOoM nOiSes, It’Ll NeVeR wOrK!!!!” These electric motors are sold out BTW, so obviously a majority of folks disagree with you.
