Car is Fugly.
Can't quote you. Because IB is fugly. Their advertisers are going to quit because IB won't maintain the site and eyeballs and traffic gets less and less everyday. Advertisers and sponsors are just wasting their money at the 'new IB TMS'. IB are such dumb****s. |

The Grabber Blue paint has heavy metal-flake in it and just looks like *** in the sun. Black is a Tuxedo Black with flake

I'm actually surprised he doesn't have a similar deal going on with Dodge, as in offering special edition Challengers being that he raced strictly mopars and then later on with Pontiac :dunno:

Probably because he currently fields Fords in racing.

Good point Hillbilly ! I also wonder at times why Petty never raced for Ford back in the day lol. As I can only imagine how many more races he could had won :nice:

I will wait and see..not a fan of the paint job at all, to include the painted wheels. Let's see some tests..

I think those Petty Garage Mustangs are stunning. I am sure they will all sell quickly. If I had my GT500 paid off, I would be very tempted to get one of those Petty Garage specials. What a gorgeous Mustang ! There is nothing I would change about the Petty package , but I wonder why the stage 2 is so much more expensive than the stage 1 package.

He did in the late 60's. '69 I think, in a Torino Talladega.

WoW ! Excellent memory lol. As I had no idea that Petty ever raced for Ford.. Did he race for Ford during the 60's or was 69 the one and only year ?
Btw; Love that 69 Torino Talladega too :nice: As a side note, when NASCAR banned the Hemi in the mid-60's, Petty and other Chrysler drivers boycotted NASCAR, and he campaigned an altered wheelbase '65 Barracuda with a hemi in NHRA and named it 43Jr. Naturally it was Petty Blue. |

If memory serves me, Petty switched to Ford because he thought that Plymouth was no longer competitive in NASCAR. Although this might be urban legend, it's rumored that Chrysler developed the Superbird to win Petty back to Mopar.

On a lighter note, It would've been really awesome if Petty could had somehow stayed on with Ford throughout the remainder of his career :nice: It also doesn't surprise me about the urban legend behind Chrysler developing the Superbird in order to win Petty back to Mopar, as it obviously worked lol. |
The King Mustangs are ready to roll!
Pretty darn hot, wouldn't you say?

But, I am with you. I would rather get a 2016 Roush Stage 3 with the Phase 2 kit. A 2016 Roush Stage 3 Phase 2 car with drag radials will put you in the 10's in a quarter mile for sure! :grin: |

Well believe it or not, but those wheels might be 10K. They are HRE wheels. HRE make one of the best wheels out there, as far as quality goes. Plus, those are custom color HRE wheels, so they may be close in 10K price.
