1984 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback 2-Door 5.0L

Ford Mustang 1984 Description

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.
