    the car could have been bought by someone like my neighbor. he worked at a ford dealer. refused to buy his mustang unless they put the cobra rims on it, which they happily obliged. he also prefered mercury over ford. had a 2 door grand marquis, always telling me what a rare car it was. i was a little too young though. i didn't get it.

    does it have a wooden shift knob as well?

    Those look like traction bars on the rear end. They were used before the quad shocks took over. I've never heard of a predator Capri, and my guess would be that if one existed it would have more than just the same wheels. Maybe the seller was telling a tall tale or maybe those wheels were a dealer add on. What dsO is your car from?

    It's an awesome Capri nonetheless, but I doubt it's related to the predator (but what do I know).
    Cheers!

    If they are genuine Shelby/Predator wheels, there would be some interest in them here by the Predators owners. But please, not offers to sell of buy in this forum. Use the classifieds or go directly to private messages. Thanks.
