1967 Mustang Returns

The Legend Returns

For anyone who loves American muscle cars, the 1967 Ford Mustang holds a special place in automotive history. ECD Automotive Design, usually famous for revamping Land Rovers and Jaguars, has taken on the challenge of restomodding this legendary vehicle. Their latest project, dubbed the ’67 Ghost, blends nostalgia with cutting-edge upgrades, creating something truly remarkable.

Performance Upgrades

Forget just swapping engines. Here, a classic 347 cubic inch Ford V8 has been revitalized with the help of Roush, producing 465 horsepower. That’s a serious bump from what it originally offered back in the day. ECD’s ’67 Ghost now sits on a Roadster Shop RS Spec chassis, ensuring a robust foundation that can handle this newfound power. The upgraded ride benefits from modern suspension and braking upgrades, featuring adjustable RS SV Fox coilovers and slotted rotors with 4-piston calipers. This setup not only enhances performance but makes everyday driving a lot smoother.

Aesthetic Overhaul

If the mechanical updates blew you out of the water, wait until you hear about its looks. Finished in a chic High Gloss Mineral White with Santorini Black Metallic racing stripes, this Mustang dons a captivating appearance. It rolls on stylish 17-inch wheels that complement its striking stance. Unlike some restomods that lose their vintage charm, the ’67 Ghost retains its classic allure while embodying modern sophistication.

Interior Comfort

Inside, things get equally exciting. Recaro seats are trimmed in plush black leather with tan diamond inserts, providing a luxurious touch along with comfort. The brushed aluminum dashboard, bespoke steering wheel, and fresh gauges complete the stylish update. Modern conveniences weren’t overlooked either. The integration of a contemporary infotainment setup with Apple CarPlay means that even in a classic Mustang, staying connected isn’t a problem.

Driving Experience

On the road, this Mustang is an entirely different beast. The power output puts it head-to-head with modern muscle cars. The ’67 Ghost accelerates with the enthusiasm of a sprinter and corners with the finesse not usually associated with its era. It may bring to mind the visceral thrill one might feel in a modern Ford Mustang or even a Dodge Challenger, but with a layer of charisma that only a vintage model could deliver.

The Cost of Excellence

Pricing details for ECD’s restored masterpiece remain under wraps, similar to buying an artwork where value transcends typical market logic. Rumor has it, discussions are already underway for new projects, including versions with Shelby and Boss styling cues. While no exact dollars are quoted, expect a price tag befitting the exclusivity and craftsmanship involved.
