The Ford Probe is a nice car, I love the 90s era where the market was full of coupé cars ♥️

Ya now there's only 700 left in the world 😓

The old Buick is a "business coupe". That area behind the seats, was for storage of items the salesman owner would carry from place to place.

That Mazda motor in Probe is best part of the car (some sentiment because had 626 15years ago), it easily can live for 120kkm more. Can't wait for a next episode on Probe. Thank you, Randy 🙂

I was going to say 120 kilometers really isn’t that nuch

The die hard Mustang fans wrote letters and complained to Ford about the fwd version, and that's one of the reasons they ended up keeping the Foxbody in production for several more years while they developed the 94 SN95 style Mustang. I wrote a letter and bought a new 87 5.0 LX hatch to make sure I got a new, real Mustang for myself! Congrats on the Probe, and looking forward to the video.

I cannot wait for more of the Ford Probe! It's gonna be GREAT car to add to the channel!

We just picked up a 96 Mazda MX-6 (Probe's twin from another mother) - been sitting since 2007... Parts are hard to find, but after replacing all fluids, valve cover gaskets and most stuff under the hood - she runs amazing. Ours is similar blue / purple color - such a cool/unique car!

Years ago when I lived in Florida, I helped a buddy of mine rebuild a Probe GT. It ran like a scalded dog when it was finished. We built it under his carport.

Love the Ford Probe. My first real car was a 93 Mazda MX-6 LS, which was essentially the Mazda version of the Probe. It was in the shop all the time, but still loved it.

I appreciate how much you put into your videos. I'm sure it's not easy at a time like this. Just shows how strong you are as a person. Truly sorry for you and your family loss. Thanks for the great content and have a great day.

Randy, it was fun sitting here listening to you selling yourself the Probe. I wonder how many of us were sitting out there saying, buy the car? As a really old guy {79} I'd say repair it so it's as perfect as you can get it and put it into occasional use because the memories will get further away as you get older and the chances to replicate them further from being possible every year. When you get into the car you get to go back to that magical moment no matter how old you are. Like walking into your grandparents house. No matter what it looks like now you see it when you lived there. Great video. Thank you both and to Indianapolis Copart for helping to make it happen.

Super cool Randy & Mike 🔥🔥 the 3000gt the reason for the fan running is the Ac was engaged. The Probe is nostalgic you should buy it & get it running with your grandpa's tools in front of the old house. Sorry about the situation Randy 😔🙏. Appreciate the vid guys Salute 🔥🚘🤘😎

Randy and your family l am sorry for your lost l hope no one goes through what you went through losing the loved one and on top of that making videos and put smile on your face just to entertaining us. Thanks for all you do.

The ford probe is a interesting vehicle

Save the probe and the 3000 GT

That Ford Probe is a real project car.

I have so many fun memories in a ford probe. And loved driving my friends 3000gt. We jumped a 89 Ford probe GT off over some railroad tracks in Crystal Lake Illinois at about 80mph. 🤣

Love the Probe! I was fortunate enough to have two of these cars when I was young. The best interior of anything ever made. It has a flying saucer 🛸 vibe.

Great video gentleman. I had a Ford probe in 1995 a red GT I absolutely loved that car. Sadly you don't see them too frequently anymore I'm glad you picked this one up. It deserves to be saved even though it's the four banger. Just a very cool time capsule. This car is begging for a maaco paint job. I would so much love to see that car looking good again. That in my fiero looking back were two of my favorite cars when I was a young man. Had an 88 for your OGT fast as balls no power steering Loved that damn car until I flipped it over in a snowstorm. I literally cried it was completely customized lowered to the ground couldn't even tell it was a fiero anymore it looked like a lotus it had a well-fin spoiler that went over the roof the entire top was glass smoked glass removable. That was a wicked car I still miss it

My aunt had a probe when I was growing up, same color too! Can't wait to see it on the channel! You'll be a trendsetter again I feel like after swampvette everyone's been buying C4's (Rich's electric swap, Alex's supercharged auction buy, I even bought a red one lol) Would be funny if everyone starts buying Probes after this!

I remember my first owning a probe it was a five-speed they're a fast little car going to drive easy to work on thanks for the video bud

Between Probe & 3000-GT i would pick with my eyes close the 3000-GT.. it has less problems than the Probe and is Mitsubishi and very cool model.. Very sad that i'm in Europe otherwise i would jump on that 3000-GT myself..

I had a 98 3000GT SL they came with electronic dampening suspension the sport mode would change it so since it has coilovers the sport mode doesn't work anymore. Brings back memories it's been 10 years since I owned it

AM vacuum tube radio in center dash. 55-Kilohertz to 155Khz. Slightly different frequency range than modern AM radios, but pretty close. Would pick up modern AM radio stations without issue if it were restored to working condition.

I'm happy with this car,i would love to own that car and put him back to life and go to coffee and show the people,all the cars have life in it,special this one. Cant wait to see this car on the video again and rolling out on the street Randy. Big love.

The reason why the pro became the pro was because everybody complained before about switching the mustang to front wheel drive it was a big campaign about two or three years of people just complaining and the first year of the pro was 1989

This is great Randy, another spectacular video with Mike. I'm watching right now. thanks again 💯

Yes, i'm happy! Greetings from Milan, Italy!

For sleeping on a mattress in the car belongs mostly to Nash where the front seat folded straight back with the back, a laydown mattress, bug screens for the windows, to save you money when you travel. I heard that if you owned one of those as a teenager no father would let his daughter go on a date with a guy and his traveling bed.

Looking forward to the ford probe video can’t wait to see all the good things you do to it. I really hope the trans is good 😂 being it rolls in park its definitely not in park.

You were so close! We had a Bosnian exchange student who had one. He called it a Corvette and was CONVINCED it would get him "American ladies, YEAH!" Thanks for the memories. Fun Fact: You can fit a 5.0 in there. OR, since it's a JOB anyway, cut out the rusty floor, Body swap it over a Mustang. Boom. Oh and I spent some formidable years in a trailer park. There were Mustangs, T-top Camaros, super tall trucks and then a dude with a Porsche and a 3000GT. It was black with red stitching inside. I wanted it more than the Porsche.

I could be mistaken, I believe on the Buick, turn on the ignition, and press the gas to the floor for the switch to engage the starter... The house my Mom grew up in, I still refer to as Grandma and Grandpas house. Hope I can up there at some point to see it again! Built in 1898 and still standing in decent shape I understand.

The Probe was intended to replace the Mustang which is a fact. The Mustang fans went on a letter writing binge and the powers that be at Ford did not kill the Mustang instead had a more sporty image going on with the Probe and the Mustang on the dealer lots. I’m not “that guy” but I thought I would share that but with you and your viewers. Glad to see you doing well!

Thanks for the video, Randy.

Im very sorry for your loss randy I give my Condolences I really like that Ford probe I can't wait to see the progress with that car my friend had one back in high school keep up the fantastic job u do and rember you are amazing

Love the video as always! Hope you feel better soon!😊

Can't wait to see the videos on the Probe

Am sooo Haaaappy man n cant wait to see you working on the Ford and driving it home man..

Yes I'm happy I know you can get it running

Unless it's been modified it is a 6 volt system. You can put 12 volts on it for a short period and it will crank very fast! I've done it a number of times with the Buick straight 8 and I assume you would want to have the rest of the electricals shut off, when I did it that was the case. This I believe is called a businessman's coupe, a generic term for this type of automobile, and supposedly the back was for a Salesman to put their sample cases.

I love the probe!!! Great purchase

3000 GT has always been a favorite of mine I've always wanted one

So sorry to hear about the passing of your uncle Randy sending you and your family lots of love xx 😢❤️🤗

Mustang enthusiasts was upset about the probe taking its place so Ford decided to pull the plug on that idea.

Really looking forwards to future videos on the Probe!!

Worked at a FML dealer when these were new. Drove the 1st gen (much rounder) version with the V6 and an auto (sadly) as a work car. I always liked these, and would be happy to have a GT at some point. I hope it works out well for you with that transmission and Timing Belt.

Had a '95 3000gt base, loved it, timing belt change wasn't too bad. Great for long trips.

Great one guys, love 90' car, i drive a corolla 98 daily😎👌

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Oh no oh no oh no flashbacks are a powerful thing . Thanks for the vlog

My best friend in high school had a probe, blue exactly like that one lol. And he had a audio system in it and I was hooked on the hobby. Still at 38 yrs old if u look at my videos lol. But all started in a Blue Ford Probe! So I'm invested into watching this one!👏

Randy loves smelling gas caps!!! Great video 👍

I'm sorry about your uncle brother. My condolences. Prayers man 🙏. ✌️

That 3000gt is my dream car😍😍😍 love that ford too😷😷😷

Probe is a Science Lab

Can't wait to see u fixing up the Probe👍 I also have one till today but it's a 94 GT 5 speed and it's in a bit better condition but i hope yours is going to be great too. Wonder if that trans is going to work. Good luck.

I had a Turbo Probe with a stick shift with seatbelt at the doors Loved it. Congratz Randy . Sad to hear about your uncle. Looking forward to seeing the video about that Probe and the story. 👍

I dated a girl with the turbo probe and boy it was quick off the line but the torque steer required both hands on the wheel to keep it straight. It was the model before the one Randy looked at here. It was also the replacement for another Ford car called the "Mustang". Thank god that did not happen like they wanted.

Awesome

I’m happy you brought the ford probe

Love that about the probe! That you fixed one at your uncles house and gonna do it again! 👍👍the old Buick too much.

both ford and the mitsubishi are cool!

Top car and storey, bless you Randy. We had the Probe in the UK but we also had the Mazda MX6 which was the same car rebadged. All right hand drives, cool car but didn’t do very well here.

Nice video

God Bless you and your family 🙏

You probably already know this, but just in case, the ‘37 Buick doesn’t start just with the key. The key only turns on the ignition system. After turning the key to the on position, the starter is engaged through a button on the floor.😉

3000gt is an epic car

I'm glad you bought the 95 Ford Prob. I think it will be great content.

The linkage for the probe is under the intake, it has a manual linkage and a electrical connector. IF they are connected and it won't shift make sure the speed sensor isn't bad. After that just drop the trans and get a new one. In my 94 GT I only had to swap the trans once.

Yes ❤

People loved and cared for those cars. I can guarantee that the timing belt has been changed.

I can see this coming out to around $1,700-$2,500 finished too. She's going to be a fun one to watch get back into fighting shape

the 3000gt and probe would be great content

So sorry for your loss

I got a 93 ford probe gt, really fun car but not fast, but it’s been reliable as hell and I only paid 1700 for it, 100% worth it

Thank you for suggesting the shifter cable Mike I was screaming that at the phone the whole time lol

Probe 😍 I recomend 2.5 V6 GT 🔥

Have you noticed much of a difference in price between Indiana and Oklahoma at CoPart?? The old Buick, I think you were thinking of a Business Coupe, which this one could be. The FordProbe definitely a car you don’t see very much anymore, there was a guy on KZread who actually named his channel FordProbe GT. You never know the FordProbe could have came from the same place the truck did originally.

I seen the pictures of your vehicles she used to work on at your uncle’s house on Facebook and Instagram. The probe will definitely be a good add to the channel.

BUY IT!!!!!

The smartest thing Ford has done

I remember the Probe , sold them in europe too , identical car , which was unusual .

The probe gts were really nice looking cars. Crazy to think some people at Ford thought they were going to replace the Mustang with the probe.

Good luck with the probe. I hope it doesn't have a bad transmission though.

I would love to see you manual swap that Ford probe, I think it would be a great car to drive (only with a stick). Great video, #SaveTheManuals

Had a probe myself, huge money pit in my experience. But, your money and channel! I’ll still Watch regardless!

Yes love it and look good ❤and look good ❤so cool 😎

I’m sentimental to the probe as well

I like the 3000GT, Ford Probe looks okay i like the wheels

I'm not sure about the 37 Buick but my 50 was kind of funny to start. You had to turn the key on and then push the accelerator down which engages the starter. I would bet that old car runs, just no one knows how to start it. I would love to see you try it again but I'm sure you are not even there anymore to try it. Just keep that in mind on pretty much all old Buick's at least until mid 50's I think. Love you guys. 😀

Hope to see a video of the probe coming back to life.

I wanted probe when I was in high school... like the purple too

My brother in law has a 1941 mostly original and his car has been around the world 3 times it has a story behind the around the world.

Buy it good content.

The 32 Buick would be an awesome car I'd love to see it totally restored to it's original beauty and as for the steering wheel it's that way because it only has Armstrong steering

Of course I'm happy 😊 ☺ 🙂

That Probe is the same as the Mazda MX6, I have the 93 version and I love those cars!!

I love the probe and I would like you to retain that nice exhaust note with a good exhaust system, because factory OEM will only silence it which would be boring , but good score !! Keep it up🤙👍💪🇺🇸😎💯❤️❤️🔥🔥.

The Probes were cool cars. Curious to see how that one turns out!

Randy, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your uncle. I knew that he had been in not the best of health for a while, but I did not know that he had passed away. My wife and I offer you our deepest condolences and you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. 😢

My dad had ford probe he love that car said it was easy to fix on

The clock does work. It's right twice a day. Lol
