Richard Pettty picks Pedders for his Special Challengers
I had the great honor of sharing bread with the King, Richard Petty, the last race he ran at Searspoint Raceway, which is now Infinion Raceway a number of years ago. There are great men, and then there is King Richard. He truly is a great man and generous to those that could need help without asking.
Richard is noted for making SERIOUSLY special vehicles, then auctioning them off for charity. His most recent one is a featured vehicle that made its debut yesterday at SEMA. It is a off the charts Challenger, and is, of coarse painted Petty Blue top, bottom and in the middle. We were really honored that they called us and asked us to participate in their specialty build. We were really honored to be part of this great project.
Here are some pictures to document the car and the excitement of the day:
Here is a picture of the King just being with everyone and excited about the car and being with everyone:
Here is a picture of Pete, Richard Petty, and Eric from Arrington who built the killer motor:
We were all so excited to be in the presence of this great American Icon. But he paid Pedders the biggest honor that you can give. He told Pete that he only wears custom made boots that fit him perfectly and than the Pedders suspension is the perfect match for the Challenger, just like his boots! We are so honored to be part of his great project.
Now the killer Challenger:
Hope you all enjoy this moment with us. Sema this year was off the charts great for Pedders
I'm not, but you have to admit with all the G8, Challenger, and Camaro Pedders Bullshit its like I log into the pedders' news network instead of a forum that is supposed to be DEDICATED to the new generation GTO.

We do it so you have an opportunity to express your bullshit and have a purpose in life. LOL
To be fair, you have to know summerwolf is right. You guys have your own pedders subforum to shove this and your countless articles on camaros, none of these threads fall under GTO/Suspension.

I did not go into the amount of build components for the Charity specific. This Challenger was totally stripped down and the entire undercarriage totally redone, as well as major interior upgrades. This build would be well over $100K. Whether it is Dodge, Ford, G8, it is a really cool build that a true car guy would appreciate the craftsmanship first, and admire what was built for second. Doing a build to get well over $100k being donated to charity, is a great thing to do. If I could find anyone doing this to a GTO, I would be all over it.

Hopefully I can ditch work tomorrow long enough to stop by the booth and give the red team some hell.
