Presented here is one of the most beautiful and iconic automobiles to have ever rolled out of the Plymouth factory. This 2000 Plymouth Prowler finished in Prowler Yellow Clear Coat has only 5,700 miles and is in like-new, mint condition. The paint and bodywork look just like the day it rolled off the production line. The Prowlers uniqueness is exemplified by its low production numbers. The vehicle was the flagship sports car of Plymouth from 1997 to 2001. In all, only 11,702 examples were built over the course of the 5-year model run. Only 2,746 were produced in the year 2000, making it one of the more desirable production years to purchase. Out of those 2,746 units only, 526 of them were fitted in the bright Prowler Yellow, which makes this vehicle that much more rare. Moreover, there are not too many of those 526 units left that have less than 6,000 miles and are all original. This vehicle is am absolute head turner! The unique signature styling cues make the Prowler look way beyond its years and the vehicle still looks futuristic even to this day. The indy racer style front wheels coupled with the pointy nose and wide sloping rear-end all add to its retro styling. This car prominently features an aluminum/composite construction which helps to shave weight off the already light and nimble design. Implementing the aluminum/composite materials helps keep the car at a supercar-like weight of 2,800 lbs. The functionality of this car is endless. The ability to put the top up and down really adds to its versatility and overall appeal. Even with the top up, you can hear the growls of the engine, but when you take the top down it is a completely different animal. The monster 3.5 L V6 power-plant makes the exhaust notes raw and aggressive. While there is not a significant amount of trunk space, there is a small place to store essentials in the boot. If you are concerned about trunk space, Plymouth created a unique trailer for the Prowlers that can be towed behind the vehicle. The tow behind trailer really complements the look of this vehicle and should be considered if you intend to take on long excursions. Plymouth found a way to shoe-horn a 3.5 L V6 into the Prowler that can produce an impressive 253 horsepower. While the horsepower may not seem so impressive as a stand alone figure, you must take into account the weight / power ratio, and the high-performance nature of this vehicle will quickly become apparent. The 0-62 time of the 2000 Prowlers was 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 126 mph (electronically limited). The Prowler additionally has the capabilities of towing. The towing capacity for the Prowler is up to 1,000 lbs. The way this vehicle feels when accelerating, braking, shifting gears as well as the pin-point suspension characteristics are reminiscent of any modern supercar. Upon heavy acceleration, the shift from first to second gear throws you back in your seat, with the car producing steady g-forces on the passengers as the car rapidly reaches speed. Additionally, the suspension has a stiffer feel allowing for and more agile and exciting sports-car experience. Overall, the Plymouth Prowler checks off all the boxes any gear head is looking for. It is extremely rare and therefore will steadily appreciate in value in the years to come. Right now is the time to buy one of these cars as the market upswing on this vehicle is imminent. The styling of the car is so unique that it attracts attention everywhere you go. It is also fast and nimble and makes for an extraordinary driving experience. This is a one-owner car and was meticulously maintained. Oil was changed every 6-months, regardless of the milage or lack-there-of. The car was periodically taken out and started in order to lubricate all internals and seals. A coat of wax always adored the vehicle and it has never seen a drop of rain. The owner kept every original piece of equipment including the original Prowler |
