Pauldun, your Probe is Ford's version of my MX6 AND some parts are interchangeable (hint hint
). I am so with you on the "personality" aspect of the Probe/MX6. I drive a beat up PRIMERED and PEELING 94, but prefer it over most newer cars out there, and there's an 05 Subaru Legacy GT sitting in the driveway with it. Maybe it's the age or body style that gives it personality...the fact you can FEEL it while your driving it...I dunno. My last car was a 94 Sentra E (same body style) and I loved it too.
You could part it out for a good chunk on MX6.com or Probeforum.com...just a thought...
