How many Ford Probes were made?

Were there a lot of Ford Probes made? I saw one on the road recently and had kind of forgotten about them, but I guess they’re still out there!

There were a total of 309,876 Ford Probes made from 1988 through 1997.
The Probe was actually an attempt to replace the
Ford Mustang
. The public was initially receptive to the Probe, but it quickly became clear that the Mustang was a better investment choice for Ford in terms of overall sales.
While this model was initially pretty popular, sales dwindled quickly as the Probe’s competitors, like the
Chevrolet Camaro
and the
Pontiac Firebird
, quickly began to gain fame. After Ford sold a disappointing 20,000 Probes in the United States in 1997, this model was shelved in the U.S. and Ford moved on to other vehicles.
