Richard Petty autographs the asphalt with his 727HP Mustang

With seven NASCAR championships under his prodigious belt buckle, Richard Petty must really need something special to get his adrenaline pumping. Fortunately he has his own series of custom Mustangs that range from mildly upgraded to bold and boosted. Recently, he grabbed the keys to one of these cars to film a little promotional video and the smoke started to billow.

How do you attract attention to your line of custom Mustangs? Well, throwing the keys to the car’s iconic namesake, Richard Petty, and asking him to do a burnout is definitely the way to our hearts.

“These new King edition Mustangs are pretty much the way I’d build my own. They are great fun to drive, and have a signature single exhaust,” Richard Petty said when the King Editions were introduced.

The Petty’s Garage King Edition Mustangs carry a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, so Richard Petty obviously felt pretty confident about letting it rip for a little burnout video.

Apparently, they are great fun to drive with the company’s Level 2 version of the Ford Performance TVS supercharger package raising the King Edition’s horsepower to 727 ponies thanks to a smaller pulley and a hotter calibration. That’s plenty of oomph to smoke the tires (obviously) and it sure looks like the King had a blast driving one of his subjects.

If you aren’t familiar with the King’s custom Mustang, his company Petty’s Garage partnered with Ford to produce three different models—King Edition, King Premier and 80^th Tribute Edition—based on the Mustang GT and another entry-level edition that starts with an EcoBoost ’Stang.

The Petty’s Garage King Edition Mustangs start out $67,495 and top out and $90,495 for King Premier. For more details, you can check out the company website here.

Only 300 King Edition Mustangs are built each year, and the version used in this video features the 727-horsepower configuration based on Ford Performance’s tried and true 2.3-liter supercharger system built around Eaton’s Twin Vortices Series rotor pack. (Photo Credit: Petty’s Garage)
