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.

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
