ECD Automotive Design introduces Project Inizio

ECD Automotive Design (ECDA) introduces Project Inizio, “an example of how classic Series vehicles can be transformed for today’s drivers while honoring the spirit that made them icons.” The company said, “ECD’s approach preserves the elemental character that Series enthusiasts love: the upright windscreen, compact wheelbase, galvanized detailing, and modular soft-top/hard-top flexibility. But beneath the nostalgic exterior lies a thoroughly updated foundation designed to bring the vehicle into the modern era without compromising its identity. A GM 6.2L LS3 V8 paired with a GM Auto Sport 6-speed automatic delivers smooth, dependable power, an example of how classic platforms can benefit from contemporary engineering while still feeling authentic. Upgraded heavy-duty axles, EBC FAST brakes, and a Borla stainless exhaust illustrate the range of enhancements available to improve drivability, safety, and road confidence while maintaining the minimalist character of a vintage truck.”
