Equal part heritage and high-tech, a new kind of classic Mustang has just hit the scene. This is the \u201867 Ghost, a custom 1967 Ford Mustang<\/a> Fastback, the first in a new line of heritage muscle from E.C.D. Automotive Design.<\/a> Headquartered at a 100,000 square-foot facility in Kissimmee, Florida, E.C.D. has built its reputation in the restomod community and beyond for its meticulous restorations of classic Land Rovers and E-Type Jaguars since 2013.\u00a0<\/p>\n While a restomod typically means retro-throwback without<\/em> the retro-drawbacks, with this particular project, E.C.D. is doing something different, particularly when it comes to the powertrain. Instead of an electric conversion or just dropping a crate engine, the company is partnering with legendary Ford tuner, Roush Performance, to redefine and reawaken the classic small-block from the blue oval. What this means is that the \u201867 Ghost retains the DNA and character of Detroit Muscle from the 1960s, but with modern durability.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the beginning of what we\u2019re calling a Mustang stampede. \u201967 Ghost represents the next evolution of what E.C.D. stands for \u2014 bespoke design, authentic powertrains, and best-in-class craftsmanship. We\u2019re offering something no one else is doing: classic Ford muscle, reborn with modern Roush engineering.\u201d- Scott Wallace, CEO of E.C.D. Automotive Design. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Under the vented hood beats the heart of a stroked and injected small-block Roush IR V8 that puts out 465 horsepower. That\u2019s nearly double the output of an original Hi-Po 289 V8, which, for context, delivered 271 horsepower. The result is a Mustang that\u2019s not just louder and faster, but also one that\u2019s smoother, safer, and far more usable. The upgrades don\u2019t stop at the powertrain. A Roadster Shop RS Spec Chassis with adjustable Fox coilovers underpins this muscle car, which enhances road manners without sacrificing comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n Visually, while the \u201867 Ghost remains faithful to pony cars of old with a high-gloss Mineral White paint and Santorini Black rally stripes, the 17-inch chrome Rambler wheels on Nitto NT555 tires and red 4-piston brake calipers add some visual drama. Inside, heated black leather Recaro seats with tan diamond stitching, a Grant Classic Steering, and brushed aluminium dash exude retro-luxury, whereas features like Apple CarPlay, JBL sound system, remote start, and a digital rear-view mirror add modern-day convenience.<\/p>\n With future E.C.D. classic Mustang builds (1965-70 model years, Fastback and Convertible) already in the pipeline, some nodding to Shelby and Boss legends, turning their attention to this American muscle car icon marks a new chapter for the company. With every bespoke build at E.C.D., possibilities are truly endless, and if the \u201867 Ghost is any indication, there\u2019s a lot to be excited about. <\/p>\n Image Source: E.C.D.
