1997 Ford Probe Gt Hatchback 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
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.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
