The 2018 Review: Our Top 10 Restomods Of The Year

ECD Automotive Design’s Range Rover Classic

The Range Rover is Land Rover’s flagship model, deserving of only the best restomod treatment. This truck began life as a Range Rover Classic, the type imported into the United States from 1987-1995, which came with a mild V8. These were Rover V8s, and as such, weren’t built so much for raw power as American-made engines. To address that issue, the Rangey has had its old British engine replaced with a 6.2 liter LS3, which boosts power from the SUV’s original 170 up to 420. ECD have also given clients the option to supercharge it up to 500, if they so desire. The transmission is still an auto, so don’t expect to win any drag races in this thing, but it’s been modernized. The exhaust system has also been updated, to keep emissions below California’s standards.

The exterior has been mostly left alone, aside from being refurbished, bar some new LED headlights and a lower front fascia, but the interior has seen big improvements made. The center console boasts a touchscreen infortainment system, while soundproofing has been massively upgraded, keeping the interior ghostly quiet. The steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and luxury carpets have been installed. The interior’s materials (right down to leather type) are left to the clients’ own discretion. A triumph of design, reborn.
