Richard Petty's Mustang
Built in Petty's Garage, Richard customized a very special Ford Mustang. The Mustang featured the blue color combo that he is notoriously famous, which was featured on his original car he used in his first NASCAR race; an exclusive Petty's Garage spoiler and four HRE VMC forge aluminum wheels with calipers that match the exterior. The visually-unique exterior is not the only thing special about this Mustang, it also features a Roush TVS 2300 Supercharger, a Big Brake Kit Wilwood brakes, and special coil-overs designed by Petty's Garage for both the front and the rear.

A Good Deed
Richard Petty donated the special 2015 Ford Mustang, and the entire proceedings from the special-edition Mustang being auctioned would go to the non-profit organization Paralyzed Veterans of America. The good deed didn't stop there, however, and the one-of-a-kind vehicle is no longer-one-of-a-kind.
