Though it ultimately never replaced the Ford Mustang in FoMoCo’s lineup as originally intended, the Probe did manage to hang around for roughly a decade before it was discontinued. In recent months, we’ve also seen a few nice examples of the much-maligned model pop up for sale at various online auction sites and garner decent money, including a 1994 SE with just 45k miles on the clock. Now, this 1993 Ford Probe GT up for grabs at Bring a Trailer keeps that trend going – this time, in a sportier direction.
With just 30k miles on the odometer, this 1993 Ford Probe GT is still in like-new condition, and it remained in the possession of the original owner until the seller acquired it back in 2021. There aren’t too many flaws to note on the outside, as the silver paint looks to be in fantastic condition save for a few blemishes on the rocker panel and trunk, and the same goes for the 16-inch wheels wrapped in a set of newer 225/50 Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 tires.
The sporty looks of the Probe GT are complemented by a sport-tuned suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, along with red trimmed accents inside the cabin to break up the sea of gray that adorns pretty much everything else. Otherwise, there are plenty of amenities present here, including air conditioning, cruise control, a factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
Power for this 1993 Ford Probe GT comes from the Mazda-sourced 2.5L six-cylinder engine that was factory-rated to send 164 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels – in this case, via a proper five-speed manual transmission. Surely, we imagine that there can’t be too many Probe GTs with such low mileage left on the planet, making this example a pretty enticing find.

I leased this exact model save for the leather interior and loved it. Decided not to keep it as I needed something a bit more practical while renovating my home. It drove well, was comfortable for my 6′-3″ height and had plenty of pep. It was a great looking car – everything thoughtfully designed including the red strip sweeping throughout the interior.
Great cars. My wife had a Gen 1 Probe LX that served her well for 4 years and almost 100k miles. Torublefree and exceptionally comfortable and stable on highway slogs. When it came time for a new car, I really pushed for a new Probe GT, even bringing one home from our local dealer to let her drive it. She was looking for something more spacious and easy to get in an out of as it was her work car. Ended up with a Honda Accord EX. Shortly after she left the job and it didn’t matter anymore. The Honda was gone in a couple years, should have pushed harder for the Probe GT.
Wow. This sold for over $20,000 with multiple, competitive bidders. These are excellent cars that are underrated and underpriced. With this auction that is all about to change. Demand and appreciation are increasing. Scarcity is as well. If you have a clean one take care of it and leave it stock!
