Thread: Predator 5S0138

  1. #1

    Default Predator 5S0138

    Just wanted to let you guys know that this car will be going under the knife of Dan's Mustang Restorations very soon. Dan will giving this 1985 GT302 Predator the full treatment, as I want this car to be better than new. Thankfully, this one is in pretty decent shape right now...white with blue stripes, which in my estimation, is one of the all-time classic Mustang combinations.

    Special thanks to Chris Lott for enabling my ownership of this special Predator to happen. Chris will kindly post up a "before" picture of this special car very soon...

    Here's a before photo, Mark. This car spent years terrorizing the streets of Dallas from what I have heard, making the Predator GT302 name known pretty well. It will be great to see the transformation as Dan takes another one from a zero (well, not that bad) to a hero. Can't wait to see the progress!

    Dan is starting to get to work on this one. Dan came up with a very cool drivetrain idea for the car, as the original motor and tranny are long gone.

    Will share details as the resto gets further along, but this car ran 11 sec 1/4's back in the day...so, it only makes sense for it to do it once again!

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Dan has been working on the car...making good progress. Just this week, he was able to source the motor/tranny/rear end combo. Will have it in his possession on Monday at the latest. Then, the real fun starts.

    Yes, he does. We'll get some pics up in a week or two. The main focus has been on locating the drivetrain set up...not an easy task. Dan did a great job finding exactly what we wanted, at a fair price. Now, the focus goes back to restoring the car.
