If you’ve become a fan of the old land rover Defenders, you’ve probably wondered just how much one of these luxurious restomod builds would cost to own. Well, wonder no more. We’ve got the answers you’ve been looking for. Here’s a look at the true cost of building a Defender with ECD.

The Defender Build Process At ECD

At ECD, customers are presented with the opportunity to create a completely rebuilt Defender restomod project. These vintage Defenders are stripped to their bare bones and reconstructed with modern engines, interiors, and technology. Every customer has the opportunity to build their vintage Defender into a one-of-a-kind project.

ECD customers have three vintage Defender models to choose from — the D90, D110, and D130. Each Defender model is offered in two distinct trim levels, Custom and Signature. The Custom trim is the more affordable trim level and sees the customer being involved in every step of the design process. In contrast, the Signature trim level is a bit more expensive but allows the customer to be more hands-off and sees the team at ECD handling all the design decisions.

The design process for these custom Defenders is extensive as they are rebuilt with modern engine options like the Chevy LS3, Chevy LC9, Chevy LT4, Cummins Diesel, or even an electric drivetrain. Not to mention, every Defender build is stacked to the nine with modern features, upgrades, and technology. Despite the extensive nature of the Defender build projects at ECD, most get completed within six months to 1 year.

The Cost of Building a Defender at ECD

Of course, every build project looks a little different and has different costs. However, the cost of building a Defender at ECD generally runs between $250K and $310K, depending on the model and trim level. Of course, some ECD Defender build projects can run higher depending on the client’s level of customization and additional features selected.
