Remember when car companies were taking chances and exploring new markets? The results were cars like the Viperand#44; the Ford GTand#44; and perhaps the most wild real-world dream car ever builtand#44; the Plymouth Prowler. This 1999 Prowler shows just 7926 original milesand#44; making it for all intents and purposesand#44; a brand-new car. Finished in iconic Prowler Purple with a charcoal gray leather interiorand#44; this is the look of the very first Prowler you ever saw. Its channeling the great hot rods of the past with its rakish looks and dramatically staggered rolling stockand#44; the hot rod reinvented. If youre a real car guyand#44; I dont have to tell you about the Prowlers influences or the homage that it represents. Insteadand#44; think about what it represented to Chrysler Corporation. Its real name was the Prowler AIVand#44; which meant Aluminum Intensive Vehicleand#44; and they used this low-production specialty car to learn about how to build aluminum components that are still in use today. The fact that it also looks cool was simply a nice side effect. As a low-mileage carand#44; the highest praise we can give it is that its pretty much like new in every way. That means no scuffs on the chinand#44; no parking lot dings in its aluminum skinand#44; and no chips on the rockers where the big tires threw up some gravel. Its completely stockand#44; of courseand#44; and all the previous owners have spent plenty of time keeping it cleanand#44; waxedand#44; and maintained. The dark gray leather has a great look in the Prowlerand#44; recalling the heavy-duty hides used on vintage rods and even motorcycles. Of courseand#44; everything was standard in Plymouths flagshipand#44; from A/C and power windows to keyless entry and a massive sound system that fills the cabin with soundand#44; top up or top down. Retro styling cues include the column-mounted tach and center-mounted instrument panel that has a color-matched bezel that was especially dramatic on light colored Prowlers. The idea is that this is an OEM hot rod with everything fully engineered and fully functionaland#44; and it just works. Airbagsand#44; seatbeltsand#44; and all the bells and whistles truly make the Prowler a no-compromises hot rod. Theres even a snug-fitting convertible top with glass rear window and defroster that stashes below the rear deck for a truly sleek look. With those giant rear tiresand#44; theres not a lot of trunk space but does it really matter when the car looks this good? Chryslers corporate 3.5 liter 24-valve V6 with 253 horsepower is a snug fit in the pointed engine bayand#44; but given the cars lightweight structureand#44; it delivers entertaining performance. Packed in there are all the bells and whistles plus fuel injection and distributorless ignitionand#44; so it always stars and runsand#44; and fuel economy is impressive if you stay out of the loud pedal. The 4-speed automatic transmission was the first installation of Chryslers Auto Stick setupand#44; which allows manual shifting on the flyand#44; and the all-independent suspension soaks up bumps better than any buggy spring setup ever could. Four-wheel discs with ABS are confidence-inspiring. Chrome-plated factory alloys and Goodyear run-flat tires show almost no use and are a must for preservation classes in the future. A very cool car that has become an icon in its own timeand#44; the Prowler is a great tribute to the past and a smart investment for the future. Call today! |
