Vehicle Description
2000 Plymouth Prowler
"It was at Pacifica, Chrysler's design studio in Carlsbad,
California where the idea to make a factory hotrod first came
about. According to Kevin Verduyn, a former Chrysler designer, an
intern threw out the notion of designing a hotrod when they were
brainstorming. After being green lit for production, the Plymouth
Prowler production model was revealed in 1996 and finally came to
market in 1998 amidst quite the media fanfare." Motorious.com
For consignment, a 2000 Plymouth Prowler convertible with a title
verified 20,408 actual miles. Just 2,746 Prowlers were produced in
2000 and only 193 of them were red. Wild and unique, our one family
car features some custom artwork that makes it stand out from the
Prowler crowd.
Note: This vehicle comes with a disclaimer from Daimler Chrysler
stating that the frame was replaced when the new as it did not meet
engineering requirements.
Exterior
Black bumpers and gravel guards on the rear fenders contrast
sharply with the Prowler Red paint and the hood, fenders, and
shoulder line are dressed up with some subtle pinstriping. It's the
rear hatch that provides a huge canvas for artistic expression, in
this case an airbrushed tiger whose head takes up much of the space
with the body to the right, creating almost a three dimensional
vision of a big cat staring you down. Heavily staggered wheels were
standard with 20-inch in back and 17-inch in front, chrome five
spokes that enhance the car's profile and add to the incredibly
wide rear section. Overall, the paint is nice with imperfections
noted as some scrapes and touch ups on the nose and in various
places, scratches on the fenders, a ding, and some curb rash on the
wheels. The black canvas top presents in good condition with some
dust marks.
Interior
Color matched inserts and Prowler emblem contrast with the black
plastic door panels, both in nice shape although switches are
missing on the passenger door. Pillowy black leather bucket seats
combine comfort and sportiness, topped by roll bar headrests and
the passenger's has a red cover. A robust black steering wheel
frames the column mounted tachometer while the gauges are moved to
the center of the dash in a color keyed face plate with dueling
Prowler emblems and white faced dials. Vents top a center stack
that contains the stock AM/FM/Cassette radio over the basic A/C
panel while a chrome base plate houses the black booted shifter in
front of the requisite cup holder, all over gray carpet. Under the
rear hatch is a thin compartment above which the convertible top is
stowed. The interior presents in very nice condition with no major
cosmetic flaws.
Drivetrain
Clean and uniformly black, we find the 3.5 liter V6 under the hood,
fuel injected and rated at 254 horsepower. An AutoStick 4-speed
automatic transaxle sets it in motion, planting the power in back
through 3.89 gears. Power disc brakes are employed on all four
wheels.
Undercarriage
Minimal surface rust and dry conditions prevail underneath where
things are clean. Dual exhaust runs through a Broiler Exhaust kit
and exits via upturned tips behind the car. Independent coil over
suspension is found in front and in the back of this retro rod.
Drive-Ability
Low mileage and well cared for by one family translates to a car
that starts, accelerates, handles, and stops well. Yes, we have no
complaints about this comfortable and adequately quick car that
turns on a dime and sticks to the road. All functional items work
as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Just as vintage hot rods and modern street rods will never go out
of style, we're thinking the Prowler will always be regarded as an
uncommon classic. Hagerty agrees, putting the Prowler on their Bull
List in 2024 as one of the best collector cars to buy right now.
There's simply no way not to notice one of these on the street and
their endlessly cool profile complements their comfortable ride and
modern features if you look past the cassette radio. Most of all,
they are fun, and that's what the classic car world is all about
for most of us!
