1984 Mustang GT. Predator 4s-114
What is a
Mustang Predator:
The Predator
Mustang was manufactured and sold through select dealerships in the
Midwest. Tom Solomon of Solomon America
was the car creator.
Tom Solomon
was heavily involved with Shelby Mustangs and Cobras, so in 1983 he designed
and developed a Shelby Equipped Cobra Mustang based on the 1983 fox chassis. He
showed the model to Ford and they loved it. Solomon wanted to call the car
The Cobra but Ford would not agree because it owned the Cobra name.
So Solomon officially named the car The Predator Mustang, and Ford
gave him the O.K. to produce the cars and sell them through selected dealers.
The Predator was made from 1983-1986. There were two factory locations; Dallas, Texas and Topeka, Kansas. Some cars had Kamei ground effects. The color choice
was the same as the Mustang G.T. There were approximately 125-130 cars built in
1984.

Why is this
car for sale? What’s the story?
I started
looking for a predator mustang two years ago. It took a while but last year I purchased this car as a roller. It was
the best one I could find at the time. Brought the car back east. And
started to work on deciding what to do with it. I started the search for a donor drivetrain to have put in the car. I located a 84 GT that was built with a 450
horse 347 engine. Had 170 miles on rebuild. Perfect. Bought the convert had it shipped and sent it
to the shop. Well low and behold another low mileage predator became available.
I bought it. So I cannot keep 4 foxes I just do not have the room. This one is now available.
Condition
Exterior:

car. New Mallory distributor

car. No rips or tears in upholstery
