Rare 1983 Ford Probe IV Concept Reappears for Sale on Facebook Marketplace

The non-running prototype is being offered without an asking price as the owner solicits offers.

Overview

  • The listing, surfaced via Ford Authority and The Drive, identifies the car in Spring, Texas as Probe IV chassis 001 that was long believed lost.
  • It is reportedly one of two built, with the other chassis acquired in 2022 for about $125,000 and now held by the Petersen Automotive Museum.
  • The concept lacks a powertrain and steering and sits on a wood frame with steel subframes, making it a display piece rather than a drivable vehicle.
  • The seller cites missing or damaged items including a wheel cover, side mirrors, and a collapsed rear glass section that requires repair.
  • A decal touts a 0.15 drag coefficient, and reporting describes this chassis as a wind‑tunnel development model with manually adjustable suspension and an electric front splitter, while the Facebook listing invites offers with a placeholder price of $11,111.
