It only makes sense to bring you news of a new Petty’s Garage Limited Edition Mustang at the start of the 2015 NASCAR season. Though historically not known for Fords, a recent partnership with the mother company makes these cars possible.
For the 2015 Petty’s Garage Mustang GT, you can choose from a Stage 1 or Stage 2 version. There will only be 143 built, with 100 Stage 1s, and 43 Stage 2s. Actually, there are only 42 more Stage 2s available, since AC/DC’s front man Brian Johnson has already put his name on one. “This Mustang has just taken my breath away,” said Johnson. “It really is one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. I didn’t have an American car, but I do now!”
On the outside, the Stage 1 is outfitted with unique front and rear bumper covers, a center-exit exhaust, and a race-inspired rear spoiler. Inside, the car benefits from custom-embroidered headrests and floor mats, and “The King,” Richard Petty’s signature on the dash.
We know; the information you really want is what’s under the hood? Obviously, since it’s a GT, the Coyote V8 is there, but Petty’s Garage wouldn’t leave that stock. To increase power to 627 horses, Petty’s Garage sneaks a Ford Racing/Roush Performance supercharger under the hood with a redesigned cold air intake, and custom engine calibration. Barking out marching orders is the job of a Magnaflow exhaust.
The Stage 1 can be ordered in any color, but the Stage2 comes with a complete Petty’s Garage custom two-tone paint, a Wilwood big brake upgrade, and the company’s HRE three-piece forged-aluminum wheels. The Stage 2 custom paint features Petty blue over a tri-coat pearlescent blend Ford Tuxedo black. To let you know who is responsible for your Petty’s Garage Stage 2, “The King’s” number 43 is ghosted into the car’s hood and c-pillar.
The Stage 1 will set you back $62,210, while you’ll have to dig a little deeper to reach the Stage 2’s $92,210 MSRP. To get your Stage 1 or Stage 2, you can place your order at your favorite Ford dealership, but you may want to hurry.
