Richard Petty to Auction Off Another Custom Mustang for Veterans
Racing legend Richard Petty is revving up to auction off another custom Mustang to benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
The upcoming auction, set to go down January 14 at Mecum Auto Auction in Kissimmee, Florida, will feature a 2017 Mustang equipped with a supercharged 5.0 Coyote engine pushing out 850 horsepower, according to a Fox Sports report.
The custom, high-powered Petty creation will also include custom wheels, tires, brake calipers, and interior with Petty-Blue stitching. In addition, the Mustang from Petty’s Garage will feature custom fabrication and a custom front grill, along with a number of other one-off parts.
“Richard is extremely involved in this build and that’s something unique,” said Will Cheek, aftermarket and restoration sales manager for Petty’s Garage. “He knows we’re building this for Paralyzed Veterans of America (organization) so he wants it to stand out a little bit.”
That said, the one-of-a-kind custom Petty Mustang won’t be cheap. A 2015 Mustang customized by Petty’s Garage fetched a whopping $535,000 at auction.
