# Inaugural Custom Mustang Ranges ECD Automotive Design Debuts the Stunning '67 Ghost By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-05-30 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-mustang References: [ecdautodesign](https://ecdautodesign.com/news/ecd-auto-design-unleashes-67-ghost-the-first-in-a-new-line-of-bespoke-custom-mustangs)  ECD Automotive Design has unveiled its inaugural custom Mustang build, the '67 Ghost. This model expands the company's reach beyond its established [Land Rover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overfinch-heritage-defender) and Jaguar restorations, extending it into the classic American muscle car market. This 1967 [Fastback](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megapanda) represents the first in a new lineup of custom Mustangs (1965-1970 models) that emphasize period-correct engineering enhanced with modern performance refinements. The vehicle distinguishes itself in the competitive restomod space by retaining an authentic Ford V8 powertrain — a Roush-tuned 347 cubic inch small block producing 465 horsepower — rather than following the industry trend of modern engine swaps or electrification. The build combines this vintage powerplant with contemporary chassis technology from [Roadster Shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f100-eluminator), creating what ECD describes as a balanced driving experience suitable for both spirited canyon runs and comfortable daily use.
