    My Predator/T2 is not only one. Foxchassis just found other one! And it is red GT302R convertible!

    There may be others. I'm waiting to hear back from Orlando if he will verify a Predator if he has a Twister II VIN. I am not hopeful though. Orlando and Solomon keep that data locked up pretty tight.

    Boy I love when a four eyed car gets new life breathed back into them. Glad to see you got it. Let me say you made the four eyed community proud on this find and resto.

    All I can say is I screwed up big time by not buying this car. I could have bought it for almost nothing, but she would been on the back burner for along time. Nice rstore by the way.

    I can say that I and Orlando Haywood (operator of the Predator Registry) have so far identified six Twister IIs that ended up being Predators, five convertibles and one hatchback.

    They all so far had been ordered by Rusty Eck Ford originally (that dealer ordered 21 Twister IIs), although one of the T2/Predators is known to have been sold by a different dealer (probably a dealer-to-dealer transfer).

    Orlando is still checking the list of T2 VINs to see if there are any more Predators.

    Interesting. It is nice to know there is other T2/Predators. So far all of the 21 T2 ordered from same dealer. It makes me wonder if after 15 T2's sold and the remaing 6 T2's, no one wanted to buy, did they then they send the remaining 6 of them to Solomon America to convert from T2 to Predators and drop them off at different dealers. I was just wondering if that is what they did.

    Predator/T2 was in storage for few months, last week I picked it up and bring to my garage and finish the progress. Installed new top, and put used carpet in, refinishes wheels, and etc... to get ready for FordFest this saturday. I hope we will have good time in there. Enjoy new pictures!









    Love this decal!

    Finially, got correct air cleaner, everything under the hood is correct when it was roll out of Solomon America warehouse back in 1985.

    We went to Ford Fest, we did have a good time to see other cars and guys there but rain weather stoppped us and postponed to Oct 22nd, but we went ahead and voted for 1,2 and 3 places in Twister categories. There were only 5 Twisters in attendance. My Predator/T2 won first place.

    3 T2's and 2 S197 Twister specials.

    I was saddened to see that we didn't get an original Twister out there. Will work to get the owners I know with originals out there next year!
