Prepare to experience the thrill of the legendary Toyota FJ like
never before. From its rugged boxy shape to its powerful
four-wheel-drive system, every detail of the FJ has been
meticulously crafted to perfection. At ECD, we don't just restore
vehicles; we preserve and customize legends, transforming them into
one-of-one luxury masterpieces. Everything on the FJ will be
customizable right down to the needle tips on the gauges.
The Toyota FJ is celebrated for its tough, iconic off-roader
status, with models like the FJ40 and FJ60 exemplifying ruggedness
and livability. These vehicles have made a historic impact with
their durable design and outstanding performance. Our passion for
creating one-of-one masterpieces drives our team to ensure that
each FJ embodies the original's rugged heritage while incorporating
the innovative enhancements that make it an ECD bespoke
vehicle.
As of July, ECD is adding clients to the wait list for our
highly anticipated FJ models. Production for the first FJs is set
to begin in late Q3, 2024, with deliveries expected in Q1,
2025. The vehicle will be produced on the SUV line with
the Defenders and Ranger Rover Classics.
“The FJ will seamlessly integrate into our SUV lineup” said
Scott Wallace, CEO of ECD Auto Design. “We took the time to
understand the best fit that would allow our world-class
technicians to excel on this new SUV and adding it to the line with
over a decade of expertise building best-in-class, one-of-one
Defenders and Range Rovers, the synergies made perfect sense”.
ECD’s mission has always been to create unparalleled,
one-of-a-kind vehicles that honor the legacy of automotive legends
while pushing the boundaries of innovation and luxury. The launch
of the Toyota FJ retromod, allows a beloved icon to be elevating to
new heights, ensuring that every detail, from its rugged exterior
to its luxurious interior, is meticulously crafted to perfection.
“We are thrilled to introduce this masterpiece to our discerning
clients and continue our journey of excellence with a new product
line,” continued Wallace.
ECD Auto Design blends traditional craftsmanship with innovative
technology to create vehicles that are not only visually stunning
but also deliver exceptional performance. Each Toyota FJ retromod
is a testament to our commitment to excellence, ensuring that every
detail is perfect, and every vehicle is a masterpiece.
