Ford is teaming with Petty's Garage to create a new 627-hp Mustang GT and AC/DC front man Brian Johnson is the first to purchase one. 

The first Stage 2 option was ordered by rock 'n' roll legend Brian Johnson who said, "This Mustang has just taken my breath away," said Johnson, according to Ford. "It really is one of the best cars I've ever driven. I didn't have an American car, but I do now!"

 

Two versions of the vehicle will be built in 2015, according to Ford. The Stage 1 version will be limited to just 100 units and just 43 Stage 2 options will be made. 

 

The Stage 1 Petty's Garage Mustang GT will feature a number of modifications, like a reworked rear fascia with a center-exit exhaust and race-inspired spoiler.

Custom embroidered head restraints and floor mats can be found inside each vehicle along with Richard Petty's signature on the dashboard.

Stage 1 Mustang GT can be purchased in any colour "with all unique bodywork painted to match" in-house at Petty's Garage, according to Ford.

Ford's Stage 2 version comes with the same features as the Stage 1 and Petty's Garage Wilwood big brake upgrade and a complete Petty's Garage custom two-tone paint job.

The vehicle was designed to ride on Petty's Garage HRE three-piece forged-aluminium wheels.

 

The Petty's Garage Stage 1 goes for $62,210, while the Stage 2 car comes in at $92,210. Orders for the limited-edition Mustang GTs can be placed at any U.S. Ford dealership
