Hey guys, I'm so excited I made a thread! lol
Well I've been lookin around for a project car for a while now, not much cash just looking for one to get and work for my sr year of school *next year*
I was hoping for a American build muscle car. Haven't been able to find anything that I really liked..

Sittin at my pc today and my dad calls me and says "94..........I'm like oook?? lol then He goes, I found you a 1994 ford probe gt. It's in MINT condition power everthing basicly just needs a motor. The factory cobalt blue is still in great condition and everyhing! 80,000 mileson it. So I'm thinking, that would be a cool starter project car, then My dad tells me the price....$500.00 FLAT It's his friends and he's gonna give my dad a deal since there good friends, its got new wheels and rims on it that were baught before the motor died 3 years ago. they were 900 bucks and are barely worn! I know its far from an american muscle car but It will be a great car to have as a first time project car!

What do you guys think about these?

I know a few people with GT probes around here that one is super charged, and one is turbo, and they are pretty quick, and there are a couple stock one's with body kits and rims and they dont look bad if done right.

If it's sat 3 years you need new rear calipers.

I missed the GT part. The 2.5L V6 is in the Probe GT and MX6 LS. BOTH are available in 5 speed and ATX form. The ATX is notoriusly weak. A tranny cooler is a MUST have. The Probes 5 speed is also geared higher then the MX6. Or is it vice versa? Cant remember anymore.

Hey guys, last night I went down and picked her up. It's really nice!
Here are some pics. I've got the battery charging to see if it will hold enough to see if the motor even turns over.

Rylinkus · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2005, 05:48:00 PM »

Stock engine is the KLDE/KL03 depends on whose referring to it. The only real upgrade is the KLZE. Where you located? I have one.
