I am relisting my Ford Probe. I have included the questions and answers from the previous listing.

This is a stock 1997 Ford Probe GT with a manual transmission. I have owned it for over 6 years and driven it gently, and I am a non-smoker. It is great in the snow! I recently had a complete new clutch and a new fuel pump installed. It runs well. It is black with gray cloth interior, and has keyless entry, and every option available at the time--which are still working today (except one fog light is cracked). It has a Pioneer CD player with a removable faceplate and a 10 CD changer mounted in the trunk. There is a little rust on the sunroof. 178,700 miles. The starting price is below the cost of the recent repairs. I have done the usual oil changes every 3000 miles, and maintenance and repairs over the years. I put a new fuel filter and a new air filter in around August. I had new springs put on the front a few years ago.

Please see answered questions below. This car needs some minor repairs. It has the usual Probe conditions of leaking valve cover gaskets and broken stabilizer bar links in the rear. I have been told it has a leaking brake caliper on the rear. I did have new pads and rotors put on the rear when they did the clutch. (How they missed the leaking caliper, idk) I have also been told it needs rear struts. I am not a mechanic, so I have been given these observations by others.

I have added some pics of the dash and sun roof. It does not leak.

Have added several pics. The picture of the driver's door is taken underneath to show the extent of the rust. The floor pic is taken without the floor mat to show the actual floor condition. The floor mats , and the car in general is in need of a good cleaning. It is cold and snowing here, so I really can't do that now. Some of the pics have snow in them--that is the white flecks in the pic.

The wires on the passenger seat are from the CD changer, and from the in-dash stereo for a Sirius connection and a USB connection.

Added a better pic of the sunroof without most of the ice....still some by the rust which is on the left side of the pic.

Question & Answer

Answered On

Q:	Hello, I am very interested in the car. I would be willing to make a bid but I can't afford to have it shipped right away. Would you be willing to hold the car for a while until I can get is shipped. The rates are ridiculous as I am sure you are aware. I should be able to get it shipped whenever my tax returns come in which will be sometime in Feb depending on the government which is slow! If it is too much trouble I definitely understand.Thanks for any info in advance.	Jan-20-14
A:	It is not a problem to hold the car if it is paid for.
Q:	Have you replaced the timing belt & water pump ? If so, at what mileage ?	Jan-18-14
A:	The water pump was replaced at about 150,000 miles The timing belt was checked at that time and my mechanic said it was in good shape, so it did not need to be replaced.
Q:	if i were to purchase this would you be willing to meet part way ? i am in central MN How far from MPLS are you ? whats your reserve price ?	Jan-16-14
A:	There is no reserve price. I am not comfortable with meeting you half way, because I want you to see it and make sure you will be happy with it. I would be happy to pick you up at the bus station if you want to take a bus here. It has some clunks and creaks because it needs rear struts and broken stabilizer bar links in the rear. My mechanic said it is not a problem to drive it that way.
Q:	Hi, Describe condition of interior; i.e., condition of dash pad and seats. Describe damage incurred in January 2012 accident in Illinois. Sunroofs/Moonroofs are hard to find. Is rust repairable? Call if you prefer. Thank you, Larry	Jan-15-14
A:	Dash is good. Drivers seat had to be repaired where you slide in against the seat along the seat back. I put new padding in and sewed it, but you need a seat cover for that one. Inflatable lumber pillow has been repaired a couple of times, but I could only do so much with the design, so it's not super full. The rest of the seats are good. Accident in 2012: Elderly lady pulled out in front of me. I tried to avoid her but still got hit on the right front. Fender is new, door is used, but rust free, I was told. There is a dent in the rear quarter that didn't get fixed. Got a new ball joint (I think that's what it's called?), tire and rim. No paint work other than primer was done. The body guy mentioned rust under the door, but I'm not sure about the driver's door. I will investigate that. (The driver's side had a long dent when I bought the car, and I just pounded it out as best I could and primer coated that. The body has some dents and dings.) The sun roof is probably repairable (I will get a pic), but I saw some on eBay that were all composite materials, which was the way I would have gone if I had kept it. I just decided wanted to spend my free time restoring my 80+ year-old-house.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
