Introduction to the New Mustang Program
In an exciting development within the automotive world, ECD Automotive Design (NASDAQ: ECDA), renowned for its exceptional restoration of classic Land Rovers and Jaguars, has introduced Project ‘67 Ghost. This stunning vehicle represents ECD's first fully bespoke 1967 Mustang Fastback, marking the launch of their innovative Mustang program. Rather than just a one-off vehicle, this Mustang opens up the door to an era of personalized builds spanning the iconic years of 1965 to 1970, combining classic aesthetics with modern performance.
A Tailored Experience for Car Enthusiasts
Handcrafted Excellence
This Mustang program is rooted in the same dedication that has established ECD as a leader in luxury custom restorations. Each vehicle is meticulously crafted in ECD's Florida facility, allowing customers to engage in a collaborative design journey where they can customize every aspect of their car. From the exterior finish to the engine specifications, every detail reflects the owner's personal style and driving preferences.
Performance That Honors Heritage
While many custom builders may opt for contemporary electric drive systems or off-the-shelf engines, ECD has taken a different approach. By partnering with Roush Performance, ECD offers powerful Small Block Ford V8 engines that pay homage to the original Mustang spirit while enhancing reliability and performance. This commitment to preserving the classic experience while introducing modern enhancements is what sets ECD apart.

The Future of Classic American Muscle
As ECD moves forward with their Mustang program, they already have numerous commissions underway that draw inspiration from legendary models like the Shelby GT350, Boss 427, and Mach 1.
