1994 Ford probe GT 86k miles, 5spd, new tires, timing belt, water pump. And almost everything that has ever been done has been done by Ford. He gave me a extra (used) raditor, tailights, Ford radio, Ford EQ, and a new Exedy clutch still in the box..$2500 I thought was a good deal he is the orginal owner and was about mid 60s and acted like he really didn't want to get rid of it he left $20 in change in the car I asked him if he wanted it and he said no..

 

lol, looks chameleon in that lighting

 

it is that purple or what Ford I believe calls wild orchid it has some pearl in it.

 

Nice! I had a g/f that had that color. I always thought it looked good.

 

$20 in change, that's cool. That gets you almost a full tank of gas.

I have friend who has the same model year but in white and it has be put through hell. I am surprised that his car is still running.

 

Actually I put $20 in gas in it today..

 

Sweet.

I just read that the probe was originally a Mustang concept. The outcry that Ford received for potentially making the stang a fwd was too overwhelming, so hence the probe.

Nice project car.

 

All it is is a MX-6 (Mazda). You have to see it and see how good of condition it is in. Wife really likes it..

 

I like the looks of the MX6. It's enticing for a future drag car project, but I don't know a thing about rotary power. I've heard that you don't dare take it to det for tuning purposes. That would seem like it would tend to make tuning very difficult.

I don't know what that has to do with the Probe, though.

 

The MX6 is a inline four or a V-6 i don'tt hink they were ever Rotary powered but I could be wrong. My friend back in Washington Auto-x with a guy who drove a probe and he said all he had was lowering springs, sway bars, and some sticky tires and he said he was really competative..For what it was.

 

I looked into 2nd Gen Probe GTs (like this) a few months ago for my 2nd car. It won Motor Trend Car of the Year in it's first year ('93 I think). The end-of-year test revealed several mechanical issues with the V6. This was after only one year. Also, owners had similar complaints after just one year. I think the GT is a 2.4 or 2.8 (can't recall) liter V6 built by Mazda with around 160hp. It's definitely a good looking car IMO. 160hp in a car that size was quite competitive at that time. The reliability issues were just too much for me though.

 

It's a 2.5L 164hp and the way this guy was with the car if there were any issues they were address a long..long time ago. Shoot he just spent $1200 on getting the water pump, timing belt replaced and the thermostat and I believe something else. I have recipts for any and all work ever done including oil changes. When the car was just over a year old he had Ford change the transmission because he thought it was to hard to shift into 1,2, and reverse....

 

Cool, I guess it seems like a pretty good deal. Maybe if I could have found one that was babied by a private owner I would have considered it. The only ones I could find to look at were beaten down.

 

Yea the guy is in his mid 60s I am guessing, he said he has one more year and he is retireing.. The pictures don't do much justice I feel like I got a good deal he even called this am to ask how the car was working out and that he has some more extra parts (radio) and that he found a recipet that wasn't with the rest..
