The die hard Mustang fans wrote letters and complained to Ford about the fwd version, and that's one of the reasons they ended up keeping the Foxbody in production for several more years while they developed the 94 SN95 style Mustang. I wrote a letter and bought a new 87 5.0 LX hatch to make sure I got a new, real Mustang for myself! Congrats on the Probe, and looking forward to the video.

We just picked up a 96 Mazda MX-6 (Probe's twin from another mother) - been sitting since 2007... Parts are hard to find, but after replacing all fluids, valve cover gaskets and most stuff under the hood - she runs amazing. Ours is similar blue / purple color - such a cool/unique car!

Randy, it was fun sitting here listening to you selling yourself the Probe. I wonder how many of us were sitting out there saying, buy the car? As a really old guy {79} I'd say repair it so it's as perfect as you can get it and put it into occasional use because the memories will get further away as you get older and the chances to replicate them further from being possible every year. When you get into the car you get to go back to that magical moment no matter how old you are. Like walking into your grandparents house. No matter what it looks like now you see it when you lived there. Great video. Thank you both and to Indianapolis Copart for helping to make it happen.

Great video gentleman. I had a Ford probe in 1995 a red GT I absolutely loved that car. Sadly you don't see them too frequently anymore I'm glad you picked this one up. It deserves to be saved even though it's the four banger. Just a very cool time capsule. This car is begging for a maaco paint job. I would so much love to see that car looking good again. That in my fiero looking back were two of my favorite cars when I was a young man. Had an 88 for your OGT fast as balls no power steering Loved that damn car until I flipped it over in a snowstorm. I literally cried it was completely customized lowered to the ground couldn't even tell it was a fiero anymore it looked like a lotus it had a well-fin spoiler that went over the roof the entire top was glass smoked glass removable. That was a wicked car I still miss it

Unless it's been modified it is a 6 volt system. You can put 12 volts on it for a short period and it will crank very fast! I've done it a number of times with the Buick straight 8 and I assume you would want to have the rest of the electricals shut off, when I did it that was the case. This I believe is called a businessman's coupe, a generic term for this type of automobile, and supposedly the back was for a Salesman to put their sample cases.

The Probe was intended to replace the Mustang which is a fact. The Mustang fans went on a letter writing binge and the powers that be at Ford did not kill the Mustang instead had a more sporty image going on with the Probe and the Mustang on the dealer lots. I’m not “that guy” but I thought I would share that but with you and your viewers. Glad to see you doing well!

You were so close! We had a Bosnian exchange student who had one. He called it a Corvette and was CONVINCED it would get him "American ladies, YEAH!" Thanks for the memories. Fun Fact: You can fit a 5.0 in there. OR, since it's a JOB anyway, cut out the rusty floor, Body swap it over a Mustang. Boom. Oh and I spent some formidable years in a trailer park. There were Mustangs, T-top Camaros, super tall trucks and then a dude with a Porsche and a 3000GT. It was black with red stitching inside. I wanted it more than the Porsche.

The linkage for the probe is under the intake, it has a manual linkage and a electrical connector. IF they are connected and it won't shift make sure the speed sensor isn't bad. After that just drop the trans and get a new one. In my 94 GT I only had to swap the trans once.

I'm not sure about the 37 Buick but my 50 was kind of funny to start. You had to turn the key on and then push the accelerator down which engages the starter. I would bet that old car runs, just no one knows how to start it. I would love to see you try it again but I'm sure you are not even there anymore to try it. Just keep that in mind on pretty much all old Buick's at least until mid 50's I think. Love you guys. 😀
