Love this mustang

@@aidacuebas5939 too funny. Yep, it almost could have been.

not sure what to like more, my probe or my crown vic lol

@@SilverBullet93GT Cleetus drove the value of crown vics up greatly huh. It’s got a cop motor, cop tires, cop shocks, cop suspension.........

I had a 99 ford probe and it was the biggest piece of shit ever. I could give an entire list of all the problems that car brought me.

@@banginbadger75 definitely a fun piece of shit though.lol

@@banginbadger75 there was never a 99 probe, they only manufactured from 89 to 97

@@zeeoracle The 99 Mercury Cougar was the 3rd generation Ford Probe. Kinda. Ford gave it to Mercury to stay out of the path of the Mustang. As far as the basic design it was going to be the 3rd gen probe. Just with some mercury luxury thrown in.

@@zeeoracle The last Probe was built on June 20, 1997. A third-generation model, using the same platform as the Ford Contour, was under development intended for release in mid-1998 as a 1999 model. When Ford decided to discontinue the Probe, this new design became the next-generation Mercury Cougar.[25] The name change was intended to attract younger buyers into Mercury showrooms, but this proved unsuccessful.[citation needed] The Escort ZX2, released shortly after the discontinuation of the Probe, was considered the Probe's successor. In June 1998, Ford released what would have been the new Probe as the 1999 Mercury Cougar.

Ae86 Hachi A RWD car like this would be kind of meh because front wheel drive has great traction especially in snowwwwww

@@tacomas9602 who gives a fuuuk about traction

Awd for the win

@@Wik3dNuTS4k exactly. Fuck traction. We like to do donuts and drift off of the off ramps on the highway

Oh yes man, if it was rwd it would be perfect

I have a black one. WAnna buy mine?

Had a black 93’ Probe GT in high school. Pretty Bad Ass back then😂. Hatchback was perfect for my big ass subs that looked amazing with the seats dropped down; So damn loud my car almost fell apart😎👊. I also had limo tint in the rear and 15% the rest of the way around, looked Great!!

I know some that has one for sale 2,500 right now

I’m buying a black Ford probe gt tonight in Virginia 1996z

Yes they need 2 bring back pop up lights!! Soo 😎

I've had 4 of them. Such a fun car to drive. I still have a set of clear corner markers *brand new* if you want em. Pay the shipping and they're yours.

Brian Chapman clear markers looked so sexy on white and sliver cars!

andrenegwer I ended up getting a 1993 Ford Probe GT with only 79,000 original miles!!!! And I’m the only 3rd owner!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!

I had a 97 loved mine

Aero AND wheel bearings.

Lol you admit to owning one!!!!!

@@gravyd316 2, what you got?

@@pgtmr2713 A Geo Metro...... there's a real machine!!!! Joking. I have a old 90 Fox body a.k.a. Mustang in storage and a even older eighties Supra project that I can't get the time to finish. I haven't started my baby in over a year though. My daily driver is god damned Grand Cherokee 😫😫😫😫😫😫 Oh the ZX-10 doesn't count cause it's a bike. That poor machine barely ever gets a good beating though. You know what they say. Whoever dies with the most toys wins. Lol. My kids will have nice starter cars though.

2 Probe GTs an XJ Cherokee ( with Grand Cherokee driver's seat and a 242 t/c) and a Grand Marquis. I literally have all drive types between those vehicles. I can dig an old Fox. I like a simple LX 5.0 hatch with straight tip exhaust. I had 98 GT, it was a great car but I missed the Probe's handling, 7500 rpm v6, the odd ball options and usable space.

I am hoping to do same with mine. Right now it is a “always in garage” car, due to repairs needed. Check it out and leave some comments if you have time.

My father had a purple probe GT I am in love with its style

94' Wild Orchid?

I had a 94 GT Love that car myself

It was the "Feature Car" that year and had special seats, tailpiece, floormats, and not sure the rest. I know as I still have mine - bought it new.

Probetalk is still there, not very active but STILL there! they are on facebook now!

I was on the forums since 02. They went down a little while ago and while they say they are looking for a new host, im not putting much faith in it. I still tinker with my 96gt. Currently KLZE twin turbo. One day Ill actually put my built motor in so I can really turn up the boost.

Daaaaaam probe talk. I used to peruse those forums back in the late 90's, early 00's. I had a 89 GL.

whitedartonpt come to think of it WhiteDart that name does ring a bell...

I was beaster_d on there, about 6 months ago I searched for my old posts from 2003 and they were still up. Lol. Had a black 95gt mtx.

Me too! I purchased a 1989 loaded tan turbo Probe GT right off the showroom floor. I remember that the first time I saw it, I was reminded of the Jetson's TV show. I drove it for 10 years when it needed a major repair. My husband convinced me to sell it to someone who repairs cars for resale. Even though I loved my new 1998 Sport Model Ford Contour which was also a 6 cylinder. I've always regretted selling it.

Also, to all the die hard mustang lovers... who lost in the end? V6 is taking over your ponys 😁

The Probe hasn't been in production for almost 22 years and there hasn't been any demand for a return like the Bronco... or the Supra, Challenger.... Plenty of Coyote and Ecoboost Mustangs on the road now. Personally I'm even for an electric, or whatever, Mustang when the time comes. I'm glad the S550 has an IRS. I've owned a Fox Body and I miss it. Currently I have an SVT Focus that I've had for over 8 years, I love it and it's sentimental...it would be TERRIBLE at being a Mustang if they called it that. Apples and oranges.

There was at least one petition to bring it back. If they did, it would be disappointing because the bar was higher than any one company would allow, but by 2 companies. Mazda had the KL because they were trying to make a great small 6 cylinder at the time. 7500 rpm, Variable intake resonance for staying in the power, forged steel crank in a split block/cradle no individual mains caps. Made for durability and a pleasing sound. Theoretically good on fuel, I've gotten worse out of an ecoboost 1.6. They didn't give it the KLZE because of the Cobra. It would have been too close in a straight line and the Probe could turn and didn't ride like a horse. While Ford put all kinds of crazy options in. Dual 1 touch down windows on the drivers side (I think Mazda owned this trick,) lights in the keyholes and single/dual lock/unlock with the key, battery saver circuit, (for accidentally leaving the lights on.) Special sculpted seats with air bolster and a tilt feature that didn't reset the position. Running daylights, dual airbags (standard in 94.) Premium sound system with a separate EQ, 4 channel amp, sub, and sub amp. I'm sure there's more, still weighed a lot less than a Mustang, 5 stars in the old car tests, barriers in the doors. Sooo much usable space.

I followed you.

Follow me @slayin_probegt

FastbackV8 well yes for the mustang but look at the Ford gt EVEN THE RAPTOR HAS A V6 so really he was right v6 is the future

@@Bendejo6517 Yes, but I was just talking about the Mustang.

FastbackV8 agree to disagree 🙏🏽

I actually have an 89 Mazda MX6 GT, it is the sister car to the Probe. Same motor and trans. The V6 is what killed the car. It initially had a 2.3 turbocharged i4 that could handle a surprising amount of power. It came out of the factory with 145hp/ 190 ft-lb of torque at 7psi. Mine was actually pushing somewhere in the area of 300whp on a completely stock motor (not at the moment, stock turbo didn't like 18psi for too long. Currently NA. Yes I know it was stupid of me but damn was it quick, but will be getting a new turbo eventually). It was actually designed to be Ford's first FWD Mustang. But fans of the Mustang wouldn't have it. So Mazda took their blueprints back, and let Ford use their motor for another car.

V6 mustang yes but all big power JDM cars are v6s

I did the same thing in my 96 gt on 75N in morning rush hour traffic before lol... I miss that car

Doug Walker I have a 1993 Probe GT and I absolutely love it!!!!

almost 230k on my 93 GT and still going strong. minor oil burning be damned! haha

Got 312k on my ze swapped daily before she quit on me. Still in the driveway, but no spark. Not the disty and I don't have time to mess with it now, but I don't have the heart to sell her either. lol

What was he referring to when he said the maintenance will be expensive? Guys?

Dan Romero no idea. My maintenance pretty much consisted of oil changes. Lol (I guess I did use Mobil1 though) only thing besides normal maintenance I can think of that is a regular problem is the distributor on the v6. Ford didn’t put a high enough heat rating on it and they burn up. Four options. 😀 Buy one from Mazda because they made them with a higher heat rating, or buy one from Orielly with a lifetime warranty. Or just keep buying junkyard/eBay/FB/CL parts. Last do the HEI mod. Get on probetalk forums and I think it’s a sticky.

the Eclipse is a Joke Car!

Keep the one you have and save up like 2 thousand and you can have both. Just keep looking at Craigslist. I have seen 4 first gen pgt for sale from 1500-2500$ in the last month.

Turbo it and chill

sell it because its trash

Big Worm lmao

says the cuntmaro owner...

Xedos 9 and 6 have it too

as a 94 owner for the last 25yrs, i completely agree with u! yes, the driver angled console still looks nice and better than some of the strait up weird designs going on today,,i know what u mean about compliments, as ive gotten them too, many saying :what is that car? ive never seen anything like that b4, its beautiful" and yeah ,i also had a guy come in to where i work asking if the probe was mine and if id sell it..i said no thanks.

Skip741 x for sure man!! The exterior and interior design are beautiful!! And yeah I get people asking what it is a lot and giving me compliments!! I love my Probe and wouldn’t trade it for anything!!

I think they will because so many loved these cars and still do. They still look great and drive great, the few that are left. Keep yours original and never give up. I am also the original owner of a 94GT, and started documenting the history of via short KZfaq Videos. Thank you

I have that car

@@klingergary lucky, where I'm located those cars are used as derby cars only anymore.

If I find one I will message you

Jason the GTS is JUST the Standard GT with a stripe package!

@@expfighter5112 yeah I know that, there isn't much I don't know about these cars lol. I just haven't claimed a GTS as my own unlike the SE & GT.

I once saw an old-timer swear at a Mitsubishi 3000GT when he opened the hood. 😅 No fun to work on, these transverse V6s...

Daniel Wilson ....agreed! The Contour SVT had the same issue. Changing the alternator was and all day job.

Distributor cap were crap on these

Yup. It's pretty much a known secret that the F2T was under rated by Mazda, and that the advertised numbers are to the wheels.

Wasn't there a 2.3 turbo thunder bird

Justin Wright yes different engine

The 2.3 was all Ford, sohc 2 valve engine, the 2.2 was a Mazda 3 valve engine.

As an owner of a 1989 Mazda mx6 GT, I must agree. F2t forever.

somekilling 1,300 to do a head gasket on a 2.0l is peanuts friend. I'm mean seriously. Do some research.

😂 I had a 92 probe 3.0 v6 and it was fast. I got away from the police in a chase Werth that car thanks to the handling and power, mostly the grip but the power helps pull away pretty good from the crown vic😂

bro, i have the 94 gt and yes, the disty can go out on these if you have alot of miles on them, they can just quit and strand you on the freeway..happenned to me twice..nice towing bill..not a damn thing u can do either UNLESS you happen to carry an EXTRA distrubuter with you for emergencies...i finally got a spare so that if it happens again, i can pop it in roadside in 15 mins and be on my way..i recommend this to any 93-94 probe gt owner..it will give u peace of mind on long trips and the replacement is so easy , anyone with basic tools could do it....The VRIS solienoids are gonna go bad on ALL of these cars, it just will...For Sure happen... dont buy ones fron the scrapyard cuz they are also likely junk, or if they work ,they will carp out soon..look amazon and track down the part design . its possible to get an exact replacement New solienoid for as little as 10 bucks if u do the work of parts matching..dont try and go with mazda or ford parts cuz you will spend enough to make u throw up....the 2 solienoids on the firewall side for the VRIS will be the ones and the passenger side VRIS one is the one that will always break first cuz its on the most... hope this helps

Get it if it’s a manual

Steering wheel never in the way of the gauges. Never took it out of sport except to see the difference. Cool little trip computer. Easy to swap in a bigger turbo and intercooler to beat unsuspecting Mustangs or Camaros. Little knobs to turn under the bumper in case the lights wouldn't go up. Rear tail lights always half full of water despite four replacements in a year. Super fun to drive.

HorsePlay Motoring until they start putting the v6 eco boost in it

harpreet222 they wouldn’t do that unless the coyote would have even more horsepower ford guys will complain about it and plus the 5.0 is still a reliable and somewhat gas saving engine compared to the older v8s

Richard Skipper they would get so much shit if they took away the v8 option for a v6 but if it was an alternative with like 50-80 less hp than the v8 then it would probably be liked but I’d much rather see a hybrid v8 before a v6 replacing the coyote

They're not smart enough to do something that cool... Make a Twin Turbo v6 Mustang.

Wow, Rare cars and being original owner also rare. I am an original owner also, and posted a few vids. But I have 190k miles on mine 😳

👍👍 Very nice !!
