Insights
ECD's expansion into custom Mustangs with Roush V8s represents strategic diversification beyond Land Rovers into the lucrative classic American muscle market.
ECD Auto Design's launch of their custom Mustang program marks a significant business expansion beyond their established position in Land Rover and Jaguar restorations. This strategic diversification into American muscle cars opens a substantial new revenue stream for the company, tapping into the thriving market for premium classic Mustang restomods.
What sets ECD's approach apart is their exclusive partnership with Roush Performance to supply authentic Small Block Ford V8 engines rather than following industry trends toward EV conversions or modern crate engines. This authenticity-focused strategy addresses a specific high-value market segment seeking heritage powertrains with modern reliability improvements.

With multiple commissions already in progress, this expansion demonstrates effective pre-launch market validation. The growing interest in investment-grade classic vehicles—particularly American muscle cars with documented provenance and top-tier craftsmanship—supports ECD's timing. Their established reputation in high-end restorations provides credible brand extension into this adjacent category, likely accelerating customer acquisition compared to competitors without ECD's track record.
This expansion leverages ECD's existing production infrastructure and craftsman capabilities while diversifying their product portfolio beyond British vehicles, reducing market-specific risks and broadening their customer base in the lucrative American collector car market.
This debut Fastback ignites a new era of one-of-one Mustangs — custom-built by ECD, powered by Roush-engineered Small Block Ford V8s, and handcrafted to deliver heritage performance with modern-day refinement.
KISSIMMEE, Fla., May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Automotive Design (NASDAQ: ECDA), the world’s leading builder of reimagined classic Land Rovers and Jaguars, proudly reveals Project ‘67 Ghost, a fully bespoke 1967 Mustang Fastback — and the first Mustang built entirely in-house by ECD. More than a one-off commission, this vehicle marks the launch of ECD’s new Mustang program, offering made-to-order builds across 1965–1970 model years with authentic powertrains, heritage styling, and modern drivability.

Built on the same foundation that has made ECD the global leader in luxury custom restoration, the Mustang program brings the company’s signature client-driven, one-of-one experience to a new chapter of American muscle. Each vehicle is handcrafted in Florida through a collaborative design journey — allowing clients to define every detail, from performance to aesthetics.
While many restomod builders lean on EV conversions or modern crate engines, ECD has partnered exclusively with Roush Performance to deliver something more meaningful: upgraded Small Block Ford V8s that honor the soul of the original car while elevating reliability and responsiveness.
“This is the beginning of what we’re calling a Mustang stampede,” said Scott Wallace, CEO of ECD Automotive Design. “‘67 Ghost represents the next evolution of what ECD stands for — one-of-one personalization, authentic powertrains, and best-in-class craftsmanship. Our partnership with Roush lets us preserve the Mustang’s identity while enhancing it in ways no one else is doing.”
Under the hood, ‘67 Ghost features a 465-horsepower ROUSH 347 IR V8, purpose-built to balance raw character with everyday usability. The vehicle rides on a Roadster Shop RS Spec chassis, giving it the best of both worlds: responsive handling and confident power, with the comfort and refinement of a modern cruiser.
Finished in High Gloss Mineral White with Santorini Black Metallic rally stripes, the exterior draws from classic Mustang lineage, elevated with ECD’s precise detailing. Inside, heated Recaro seats in black leather with tan diamond-stitched inserts pair with a brushed aluminum dash, All American gauges, and a Grant Classic steering wheel to deliver both nostalgia and tactile drama. Modern technology is seamlessly integrated, including Apple CarPlay, JBL premium audio, and a remote start.
“We’re not chasing trends — we’re building timeless machines,” said Elliot Humble, CTO of ECD. “While others are dropping in off-the-shelf modern drivetrains, we’ve partnered with Roush to deliver brand-new, performance-built V8s based on the legendary Ford small block architecture. Paired with the RS Spec chassis, the result is a Mustang that’s thrilling to drive and remarkably refined — the kind of car you enjoy every day, not just on weekends.”
With multiple commissions already in progress — including builds inspired by Shelby GT350s, Boss 427s, and Mach 1 silhouettes — ECD’s Mustang program is set to redefine what classic American muscle can be: bold, beautiful, and built entirely around the individual.
