E.C.D. Automotive Design
-
E.C.D. Automotive Design reimagines the classic Ford Mustang.
-
Like other E.C.D. models, each Mustang project undergoes up to 1,000 miles of shakedown testing before delivery.
-
The hand-trimmed-leather interior includes analog gauges, lap seats, and a rear bench.
-
The audio system hides Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay behind a vintage-looking face.
-
The 17-inch wheels and radial rubber are nearly twice as wide as the classic Mustang’s scrawny 15-inch originals, with markedly better grip.
-
Our example’s 410 hp, 347 cubic-inch V-8—from Roush Performance—is mated to a five-speed Tremec manual transmission.
-
Although the vehicle looks to be an original Mustang, it’s not. Each example comprises several thousand entirely new and customizable parts.
-
E.C.D.’s Mustang projects can be had with Roush’s 351 Windsor, bored-and-stroked to 427 cubic inches. That’s the nearly 7.0-liter Ford formula that powered its Le Mans–winning GT40s, NASCAR and NHRA brawlers, and the cherished Shelby Cobra 427.
-
Pricing on these modern pony cars with bygone-era styling starts at $270,000.
-
The tributes to the classic Mustang will be built at E.C.D.’s new 100,000-square-foot facility in Kissimmee, Fla.
