For Sale: 2001 Chrysler Prowler in Mesa, Arizona

This 2001 Chrysler/Plymouth Prowler Mulholland Edition is a truly unique machine. After all, it takes a special edition version of one of the most distinct factory cars ever made, and it turns up the hot rod attitude up even further. The result is a limited edition that knows how to stand out in every crowd.


Keen eyes and Prowler fans know that Midnight Blue is a special color. This is part of the Mulholland Edition. This is the first-year blue was available, and it coincides with the first year the badge name was officially switched over to Chrysler (although we all know these are from the dearly departed Plymouth nameplate.) More importantly, this package comes with a cool blue convertible top and a hand painted blue pinstripe. But you can also instantly tell that this limited edition Prowler is extra special. The front end was upgraded for added chrome and style. And side louvers were added with a proper flame trail. So it gives this retro-cool machine more old-school hot rod appeal, and yet, it still all coordinates with the factory package.


The Prowlers were instant classics not only for the cool design on the outside, but also for a well-done interior that balances luxury features and a true sports car feeling. It starts with two plush leather bucket seats that are done to be all-day comfortable. There are more desirable factory pieces, like ice-cold air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power steering, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, backup sensors, and a premium AM/FM/cassette stereo w/CD changer. There are also some nice individual details, like the brightwork accenting and the Prowler logo finished in blue on the seatbacks. The steering wheel is modern unit with cruise control buttons at your fingertips. But the factory AutoMeter tach on the column is a nice nod to this car's custom roadster heritage. The same feeling goes for all the white-faced gauges that dominate the top of the dash. So the Prowler gives you all the modern features you want, but it also always gives that ideal vintage vibe.


There's some more custom work in the engine bay where the engine cover and radiator shroud are done in a bold blue. And it's especially cool to see these combine the Mulholland Edition style pinstripes combined with the ghost flames that are on the side. Beyond these custom pieces is a very stock setup, and that's a good thing. One of the reasons the Prowler makes such a great all-around driver is that the retro looks are backed by a modern fuel-injected heart. The 3.5-liter 24-valve V6 has nice low-end power, and the 253 leaves plenty in reserve for highway passing. Plus, no old-school hot rod has these kinds of desirable features, like the Prowler's near 50/50 weight distribution, fully independent suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, and grippy Goodyear Eagle GS-D tires on brightly polished wheels.


The sale comes complete with owner's manual. A Prowler is already pretty darn distinctive, and this one is a limited edition with plenty of custom details. So if you love being truly unique, you know you need this drop-top. Call today!!!
