Those cars are beasts, Good luck ! Did you ever sell the Probe? My brother called you and was going to look at it, he ended up buying a 92 talon for $175 that just needed some timing TLC and a thermostat

haha the only pic i got of it right now is from the car lots website.

Yeah im fortunite enough to have one of my friends (rales) to know alot about these cars! i drove it a lil today and i must say, i have been missing out on boosting in corners . My future plans for it are putting in a T5 tranny cause the auto trannys cant hold alot of power.

Yes the pin striping is going to get removed, has a lil surface rust.

Cool choice man. Those cars are getting few and far in between. I 've always enjoyed checking them out on my trips to Europe.
