Last week on instagram goodnewamos suggested that I do a Ford Probe Theme Tuesday .
Being a sucker for a good challenge I dove head first into a land of swing up doors and body kits until I came back with a collection of Ford Probes that didn’t scream 1998.
Probin’ ain’t easy.
For the life of me I can’t recall the last first generation I saw on the road, and it certainly didn’t look like this
Long time reader Petr Mitiska’s Ford Probe
@goodnewsamos ‘ car that he’s owned since 95
Puts out a 250whp
This Probe is local though I don’t see it often
It too is boosted
Erik’s car was at the same show marking the only time I have seen two Probes at one event
As you may already know from his feature his is boosted as well
Sean’s bagged Probe looks phenomenal on Work VS KF wheels
Notice anything different about the positioning of this motor compared to the ones above?
It’s actually been rotated and was backed by a Miata transmission and rear end making it rear wheel drive, the way the Probe probably should have come stock
The car above is actually the second Probe he built, with the one below being the first

Who’d have thunk multiple people would campaign Ford Probes as serious drag cars?
Going to close things out with this ridiculous first gen…
2Jz… they will put that shit in anything!

Let’s add to this.
