Not cheap but awfully nice. Weren't these available with a V6?

A little tiny V6, something like 1.8l.

Yeah, the V6 models were relatively rare back in the 90's. I can only imagine they're hard to find these days.  They were tiny by V6 standards as well at 1.8L.  I always thought the F2T swap (from the MX6 turbo) would be the setup to have with one of those.  Anywho, teal is a great color for that chassis.

edit - Keith beat me to it.

That's a solid Radwood entry for sure.

I always wanted one of these or the MX6 with a JDM market KL-ZE 2.5 V6 swap, I always wished they had t tops like NX2000 of the period though. I can't remember the last time I saw an MX6 or Probe of that era honestly.

An 80 something year old customer of mine has an absolute mint better than new green v6 MX3 in his garage.  It has maybe 10,000 miles.  He drives it a couple of times a year, but washes and waxes it several times a summer.  Sits under a layer of quilts and a cloth car cover in his garage.  He bought it new when he was going thru retirement and a late life crisis.  Never married, never had kids.

There's an MX3 campaigned in crap-can races all across the south east. Gave me a real appreciation for them. Sounds really good passing you flatout.

I would drive this for srue!

In reply to buzzboy :

Small world.  There's a good chance I met the owner (or one of them) of that crapcan Mx3 when I took a look at the local E3 storage facility.  There can't be that many, right?
