The 914-horsepower drift machine – a ’77 Ford F-Series in name only – was last put up for grabs in 2021, for US$1.1 million
- Ken Block’s “Hoonitruck,” the wild ’77 Ford-based drift machine from the Gymkhana films, is going up for auction
- The pickup boasts 914 horses wrung out of a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6
- The last time it was put up for sale was in 2021, with a price tag then of US$1.1 million
Nicknamed the “Hoonitruck”, this machine started life as a 1977 Ford F-Series, but now has as much in common with the factory pickup as your author has with John Cena. We’re both humanoids, and that’s about it. A collaboration with Detroit Speed, the build took two years and ended up shoving a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 under the hood, a mill tuned to 914 horsepower. What, they couldn’t stretch it to 1,000 ponies? At this rarified level, no one’s really counting.
Will the machine sell for seven figures this time around? Barrett-Jackson prides itself on maintaining a massive sell-through rate, with the vast majority of what crosses its auction block doing so under no-reserve. That’s the auction term for selling an item without setting a minimum price — whatever it sells for, it sells for.
