Why it matters

It's not often that an automaker teams up with a tuning shop to turn a one-off project into a production car, be it limited to only a few examples, and this is what makes the Mustang GT by Petty's Garage special. What's more, with Petty's Garage owned by none other than NASCAR legend Richard Petty, this bespoke Mustang is shaping up into a spectacular tribute to the man who still holds several records in the sport, including seven Sprint Cup championships, seven Daytona 500 wins and 200 career victories.

Ford Mustang by Petty's Garage

The Mustang GT by Petty's Garage comes with a host of bespoke features, starting with reworked front and rear fascias, a center-mounted exhaust, and a race-inspired, trunk-lid spoiler. Inside, the tuning shop added custom embroidered head restraints and floor mats, as well as Richard Petty's signature on the dashboard.

Under the hood, Petty's Garage kept the Mustang's 5.0-liter V-8 engine, but fitted several aftermarket parts to up the oomph from the standard 435 horsepower to a solid 627 ponies. Upgrades include a Ford Racing/Roush supercharger, cold air intake and a MagnaFlow exhaust system.

All the features above come with both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 models, but Stage 2 gets a few extra goodies. While the Stage 1 can be ordered in any color, the Stage 2 comes finished in a bespoke two-tone paint job that matches the SEMA concept. The hood, roof and trunk are painted in a custom, tri-coat, pearlescent blend of Ford Tuxedo Black, with the rest of the body wrapped in the brand's stunning Petty Blue. The wheels are different as well, with Petty's Garage offering 20-inch HRE FlowForm rims for the Stage 1 and HRE three-piece, forged-aluminum rims for the Stage 2, both shod in Continental tires.

Further setting the Stage 2 apart is Petty's iconic No. 43 ghosted into the hood and C-pillar, in trubute to the NASCAR-spec, blue-painted Ford Torino Talladega the King drove in 1969.

The Petty’s Garage Stage 1 Mustang is priced from $62,210, while the Stage 2 comes in at $92,210. Both stickers include the base 2015 Mustang GT, which retails from $32,300.
