Snow-Capped Adventure: Project Catamount Brings Skiing Excitement To Upstate Washington!

ECD Auto Design (NASDAQ: ECDA), the world's largest Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company known for its custom luxury builds, including bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers and E-Types, takes to the ski slopes with Project Catamount. The Defender 110 model was built for year-round coast to coast adventures including taking on the snowcapped mountains of the Northwest.

Like many ECD vehicles, Project Catamount was built to take on diverse driving conditions, while doing it in style. With features such as a front winch; rear tow package; LED rear work lights; front HELLA 500 series round spotlights; and roof, ski and bike rack this one-of-a-kind Defender has easily taken on its newest adventure as it plows through the snowy ski slopes of The Summit at Snoqualmie in Snoqualmie Pass, Washington.

The new vehicle was built on a classic Defender 110 frame and has all the style of the vintage build with all the comforts and extras of a modern vehicle. Powered by a robust Chevrolet LT1 V8 engine and coupled with an 8-Speed automatic transmission, it can take on diverse terrains with ease. The ECD air ride suspension provides a comfortable ride wherever this vehicle goes.

"We absolutely love it when we get to see one of our vehicles test their versatility, said Scott Wallace, CEO of ECD Auto Design. "Our trucks are made durable and have the power to take on the most difficult terrains and are a thrill to take off the beaten path."

Beyond functionality, this vehicle is not shy in styling. Painted in a beautiful Arles Blue full gloss paint with silver accents from its full set of checkers, fender air intakes and Optimill handles and hinges. Stepping inside the vehicle, the interior is both luxurious and functional. The beautiful Garret Cadence Spice leather seats are accented with horizontal stitching, pulling together a classy invitation to sit in style while enjoying all the comforts of this build. The load area boasts 4 inward facing jump seats allowing for seating or hauling more gear. The cluster boasts vintage gauges for the feel of the classic ride, while the cargo area is customized with beautiful English oak flooring with teak stain. The vehicle is truly a classy and comfortable ride.

Although Project Catamount is a classic, it is also packed with all the modern amenities to enhance the driving experience. The Alpine audio system with touchscreen, CarPlay and Bluetooth is complimented with Infinity Kappa speakers and a mid-seat mounted subwoofer. It is ready to power mobile devices and tablets with 4 USB outlets and a wireless charger on the center console. Convenience such as remote start, 110 V outlets, power windows, remote locking, and alarm, wi-fi and automatic headlights bring the classic to modern luxury.

Project Catamount has plenty of safety features as well including a 6-point full external roll cage, back-up camera and sensor, digital rear view mirror and tire pressure monitoring system sensors.

"This vehicle is equipped to take its owner(s) on some great adventures, whether it is climbing the ski slopes or trekking across country" continued Wallace. "We can't wait to see where it ends up next."
