How much would you be willing to pay for the coolest Ford F-150 ever? One Las Vegas resident was willing to part with a whopping $300,000 for the right to own the only F-22 F-150 Raptor in existence.
Gary Ackerman, who serves as the Honorary Ambassador for the F-22 Squadron at Nellis U.S. Air Force Base in Nevada, won the fighter-jet-inspired off-road pickup at an auction to benefit the Young Eagles, a youth-education initiative in aeronautics run by the Experimental Aircraft Association.
Todd Eckert, Ford Truck Group marketing manager, explains the motivation behind teaming with EAA:
"Our long-standing commitment to Young Eagles encourages new talent to enter the world of flight, while highlighting the freedom, power, speed and agility shared by the Ford F-150 Raptor and the F-22 Raptor fighter jet."
While there may only be one F-22 F-150 Raptor, every F-150 Raptor has jet-like speed and performance over roadless terrain. Contact Bell Ford to learn how to get one.
