Yes, I said disconcerning when I meant disconcerting. One of those words I always get wrong. I GO SKOOL

[@ronyoung9251]

Man I had a 1995 PGT, it had a factory flip paint job that was light blue and purple... The car was fun to drive and after I changed the wires to hi performance ones, the spark plugs to ngks, replaced the distributor, cleaned out my injectors, replaced the gas filter and also replaced my O2 sensor and took the packing out of the catalytic converter and repacked it loosely it freed up some extra horses... It was able to spin the wheels in all gears up to 4th... The car was a blast to drive and the fastest I've ever driven it on the highway was up to 140mph... Changing the alternator is a B... The harmonic balancer went out on me in 2004 and the car eventually threw a rod back in 2006 may she rest in peace... Having said that I would love to find another one to be a project car because it was just a fun car... Good luck on playing around with it if you decide to keep it...

Honestly, coming from a New Yorker, that car has good bones. They all rotted out up here years ago. If that were mine, I'd pick away and fiddle fart around with the problems over a bit of time. In the end, you'll have a pretty enjoyable little car there.

[@capturingthemachine]

This really brought me back! Loved seeing the interior details again. When these were new, I recall the cupholder kind of sprung into position automatically, so you didn't have to manually drag it out like that. In the early 90s, one of the big magazines did a Long-Term Wrap-up after a year with the car, and they wrote "whoever designed this cupholder deserves to have a million cups of hot coffee spilled on them."

[@skip741x3]

[@Schaefft]

That's actually a pretty nicely equipped car, great color, right engine and transmission and a few nice options. Those directional wheels fit it perfectly as well and despite the name, I think these 2nd gen Probes are great looking cars. A decent tune-up and clean should go a long way, parts should be cheap, too. Looking forward to the next vid!

[@Staatus_Quo]

You do have some issues it seems. The 0-60 should be 7 seconds, quarter in 14 to 15. And most likely you have valve cover leaks. The KLDE is notorious for leaking from there especially if it is still on factory valve gaskets. Save this thing. While Probe GT's are typically a sub $1k vehicle running and driving. They are insanely fun to drive, and are faster than all Mustang GT's of the same era. There is a ton of knowledge on the Ford Probe/Mazda Facebook page. Many of us have owned their Probes since they were new.

[@chetkelsey1447]

Stock specs are 7.5 0-60, 15.3-15.8 1/4 mile. I own a probe and have for 20 years

[@Staatus_Quo]

@@chetkelsey1447 owned mine new since 93. As you know, especially if you were on PT, or PP, there are tons of "factory freaks." Thats why I put in a range. There were plenty that could run the quarter in under 15. My best, with a good driver in the quarter did a 14.9 prior to me moding it in the early 2000's. My best prior to mods was a 15.1. The KLDE seemed to have a ton of variables that gave a lot of people PGT's and MX6's faster than stock numbers.

[@skip741x3]

@@chetkelsey1447 94 gt owner here for last 26yrs since new.. ur info is spot on.

[@chetkelsey1447]

I'm not the only die hard probe guy haha. My mom had a purple 94pgt learned how to drive in that in 1996 drove it for 4 years. She sold it in 2000 then I bought my 1996pgt. My best 1/4 time was 14.9 with 164whp DE with lots of bolt on.

[@DamnedSilly]

@@chetkelsey1447 So long as it has the 5-speed. The auto specs are way, way more sluggish. Beyond that there are two main areas for failure. The clutch and, sadly, the electronics. A lot of people burned the clutch out of those, not ready for a car where casual cornering was often more comfortable in third than second. Also, the variable timing had issues sometimes and needed a reset. Remember, this is a guy who's looking for the cup-holders the first time he get's in so a slipping clutch might not be the first thing he notices.

I think the design has held up well. The color is 90s awesomeness. Cooler mode of transportation than the silver, white? Gray & black blobby CUVs that folks drive today!

[@TofersCarTales]

I still say the exterior design looks fairly modern after all these years. And of course bonus points for the flip up headlights!

[@Vazztudio]

I love it. I remember driving with a friend in college on one of this, and we enjoyed every single second of it. It was almost brand new and I tell you, it was a head turning vehicle. That sound out of the exhaust is not bad at all. I bet that with your plan of minor repairs, you could have lots of fun on canyon roads for sure. Keep us posted 👍

[@blackwidowprobe]

The 2nd Gen pgt was kind of a peppy car...for its time. They actually handled the road pretty good. The smoke is most likely the rear valve cover gasket leaking on the exhaust. The clunk in the rear is probably the rear sway bar end links...notorious for breaking.

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

Agreed, but the endlinks are only $20-30. You can use the ones from a 95 Altima, they're better made.

[@green97probe]

I had a 97 GT, 91 GL, 97 base, and then an 89 GT. I prefer the 93-97, but the performance of that 89 GT was really something. Rust claimed all of them except for the 97 base, which I foolishly traded in.

[@P-0-Seventeen]

Just recently watched this video, i'm hooked on different stories about how people get some pretty old or nostalgic cars for super cheap. I grabbed a 95 mirage sedan for $200 running and driving perfectly, 91k miles. Lots of cosmetic issues that are getting fixed, no mechanical issues, and one little electrical gremlin that was caused by the aftermarket security system. Gonna try to take good care of it and put a 4g63 turbo, as well as give it the Evo 1/2/3 body upgrade :D because that's what it was in japan, chassis and all.

Pretty good video, for reviewing a used car. I especially like the little bits of music dropped in, like the 90's music at 1:09. I think you're right, the late 90's was a golden era of simple lines, and improvements on tried-and-true technology.

Beautiful 90s car. I bought a 95 GT almost 3 years ago for $1,650 and to date have redone almost 80% of the car engine-wise and totally redone steering/suspension/interior. Parts are very hard to find for major issues but the car sounds and drives beautifully. All it now needs is a paint job and window tinting and the car will be back to its prime time condition. Good job on the deal and thanks for making the video. These cars are nonexistent on the roads so it's cool to see another one exists out there.

Man, I had a '93 Probe GT (first year of gen 2) my senior year in high school. Class of '00. I loved it!!!! Mine was set up just like yours but in black and had a tape deck. But!!!! I couldn't keep a rear head gasket in the thing. And, it was a pain working up against the firewall. As much as a pain as it was I wish I still had it! Great find.

[@hullinger]

Nice vid and great memories of my wife's first new car in 1993! I specifically recall just how liquid smooth the clutch and shifter felt. Shear heaven! The visability was outstanding and the engine was really spirited, at least for the times. The handling was strong and I liked the sound from the factory exhaust too. However, the problems with the car were constant. The rear brake calipers needed to be replaced every 6 months, the spark plug tubes would fill with oil destroying the plug wires and it ate oxygen sensors annually. Too much effort overall to keep the car beyond 7 years.

[@HelloRoad]

Back in 94 my buddy bought one of these new. The rest of use were pretty much driving fox body Mustangs and other rear wheel drive cars...so the fwd Probe was different. I was immediately impressed with how much better it drove then our old-tech cars. Sure, it was outclassed in acceleration but more then made up for it in overall competence. I ended up buying a brand new Probe GT in Dark blue with grey leather. Absolutely LOVED that car! That 2.5l V6 is the sweetest revving little motor. Get yours running correctly and I think you will love it too.

I've had 3 ford probes in my younger years. I had a 92 Ford Probe, 94 Ford Probe and a 97 Ford Probe GT. I have always loved the probe . They will forever hold a special place in my heart! The 94 I had I had dropped on Eibach springs, addes 18's on spoke wheels, a big Wang... All the rage at the time in the early 2000's, headers, exhaust... again all the rage in the early 2000's to have loud fart cannons on your 4 banger, lol, repainted it Ferrari red, and finally an AEI I believe CAI, then one night got drunk at a party decided it would be fun to find a curvy road near my house and drive to fast and totaled it...I have missed that car ever since. I say, fix it and add some cheap power upgrades and new wheels and tires and enjoy the hell out of it. Rattle can it or wrap it in a nice vinyl.

I had a 1993 PGT in Rio Red exterior with 5sp! Kept it for 4 years and replaced it in 2000 with a nearly new 1999 Honda Civic Si in EBP! Loved the PGT!! Hotshot headers, intake, KYB struts, Eibach springs, etc. Built up an ICE system for 1997/8 Spring Break Nationals Sound Competition in Daytona Beach. The V6 was smooth all the way up to 7000rpm, the shift linkage (short shifter installed as well) was a little notchy, but positive. Upgraded to an Exedy organic clutch. Ran Goodyear Gatorbacks to the cords then kept Dunlop DM40 directional tires till I sold it in 2000. Maybe one day, I'll either buy a 2nd gen, or get the 1st gen with the turbo engine. My Dad actually had an 89 GL model, which was a decent "sports coupe". Cork Sport used to cater to the Probe community; unfortunately no longer.

I had that same boysenberry blue Probe back in 2000 during my junior year in high school...pure nostalgia

I still have my 88 Mazda MX-6 GT Turbo. I love that car.

That car is sick! Awesome color, factory chrome wheels, leather and a manual...I'd take that thing

The interior is a lot like my car with the cig lighter and the ashtray, and with the only cup holder in the center console
