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.
