It started life as a SEMA Show special and now it is going to be produced. We’re talking about Petty’s Garage custom Ford Mustang GT that was showcased at last year’s tuning show.
Ford has announced its dealerships will offer 143 units of the custom Mustang, available in a Stage 1 version and an even more exclusive Stage 2 version. All Petty’s Garage Mustang GTs feature Ford Racing/Roush supercharger boosting output to 627 horsepower, as well as unique exterior and interior enhancements including Richard Petty’s signature on the dashboard.
The first car, a Stage 2 Mustang GT, has already been ordered by rock ’n’ roll legend Brian Johnson from AC/DC.
“We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about our Petty’s Garage Mustang GT displayed at the SEMA show. With so much interest, we began to explore the possibility of building a limited run of the Petty’s Garage Mustang GT,” said Jeff Whaley, Petty’s Garage COO.
The Stage 1 version will be limited to 100 units, while the Stage 2 version will total 43 units. Stage 1 models will feature a Petty’s Garage fascia at the front along with a reworked rear fascia with a center-exit exhaust and race-inspired spoiler. Inside, the car gets custom embroidered head restraints, floor mats and Richard Petty’s own signature on the dashboard.
Under the hood, the Mustang GT’s 5.0-liter V8 gets a Ford Racing/Roush supercharger, cold air intake, custom engine calibration and MagnaFlow exhaust system, boosting output to 627 horsepower. Power is delivered to the road by custom 20-inch Petty’s Garage HRE FlowForm wheels shod with Continental tires.
The Stage 1 Mustang GT can be ordered in any color, with all unique bodywork painted to match. The Stage 2 version will add a Petty’s Garage Wilwood big brake upgrade and a complete Petty’s Garage custom two-tone paint job. It will also feature Petty’s Garage HRE three-piece forged-aluminum wheels.
The Petty’s Garage Stage 1 car is priced from $62,210, while the Stage 2 car comes in at $92,210. Orders can be placed at any Ford dealership on a first-come, first-served basis.
