KISSIMMEE, FL; November 7, 2018; E.C.D. Automotive Design delivered its second-ever custom RRC named Project Red Rover, showing off the versatility of the newly-released RRC range. Project Red Rover features a rebooted interior with understated elegance, giving the re-imagined RRC a sleek appearance to this one-of-a-kind vehicle.

Project Red Rover has an aggressive Chevrolet 6.2L V8 engine under the hood. This short wheelbase RRC is fully refurbished and entirely designed by the client. The Carmen Red Pearl paint was hand-selected to match its red stitching and piping on the interior. The exterior is accented with black 20�?? Kahn Mondial wheels. The interior OEM dash features wood accents, a custom built-in wireless charging pad for mobile devices, and front and rear AC. The vehicle is fitted with a newly offered airbag suspension system that is adjustable for off-road, sport, and comfort modes.

Project Red Rover is the second-ever RRC that has been produced by E.C.D. Automotive Design. A third RRC is heading into production and is expected to be another showstopper vehicle.
