It&rsquo;s the same 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 you&rsquo;ll find in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-mustang\/\">Ford Mustang<\/a>, rated at 420 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Given its weight, it&rsquo;s probably not very quick, but it does sound good.<\/p>\n<p>A peek inside reveals that much of the Hamba is just like a standard F-150. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2019\/02\/survive-zombie-apocalypse-luxury-263k-rhino-gx\/\">US Specialty Vehicles<\/a> did go to the trouble of wrapping the seats in plush new red leather. They also re-trimmed the door panels with black leather and red contrast stitching, and applied soft-touch Alcantara to the inner door panels and headliner. <\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also an aftermarket Alpine headunit and a retrimmed steering wheel. Weirdly, the front center console has been removed. This being a two-door, it&rsquo;s perhaps no surprise that space in the rear is extremely limited.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Hamba&rsquo;s journey from a one-off auction star to its current spot in a Florida showroom makes it a rare find.
