I wonder if this car is still on the road somewhere, or if it's sitting half stripped in a scrap yard.

#87, I'll vote for major rust + blown head gasket = cubed in a scrap yard.

#87, Hey, what was the Probe anyway? I think of it as a zippy compact, what were the HP/weight figures? There's one for sale around here, it has two humps in the hood, not sure if that means something.

#89, This gen of Probe (not this particular 4-cyl powered exemple) could be ordered with a 164hp DOHC 2.5L V6. It handled very good, though a weight of 2690lbs. Almost bought one instead of the Torino.

#89, Probe was based on the Mazda 626, and it was in the same market as say a Dodge Avenger or Mitsubishi Eclipse if you will. The base ones were slow, but the 2.5L V6 ones weren't too awful.

The Europeans still joke about them to this day, so you may not like them... then again, you did like that LH sedan.

BTW the Probe almost became a 1990 Mustang back in 1988 when it was shown, and a nice public outcry from Mustang fans across the nation changed things for the better.

#92, Uh... LH sedan?
The one for sale is probably a previous gen, it's much more angular.
