"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 greenlit 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 2001 Plymouth Prowler Mulholland Edition
convertible with a title verified 71,343 actual miles. This is one
of just 1,281 Mulholland editions with exclusive dark blue paint
and pinstripe and this one includes the trailer.Named of course,
for legendary Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles that snakes along the
top of the Santa Monica Mountains with endless views of the L.A.
basin on one side and the valley on the other.
Exterior
Black bumpers and gravel guards on the rear fenders contrast blend
nicely with the Prowler Midnight Pearl Metallic paint, and shoulder
lines are dressed up with custom pinstriping. You'll have more
storage than most Prowler owners as this has a painted trunk
mounted to the back and the matching trailer towing behind,
designed to mimic the shape of the sloping deck lid and integrated
tail lights, and this one wears a protective bra. Back to the car
where 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, and naturally,
the trailer wheels match! Overall, the paint, trim, and canvas top
are in very nice condition with imperfections noted as some scuffs
on the rocker panels, a touched up scratch, and scuffs on the
chin.
Interior
Solid black plastic door panels, both in nice shape, open wide and
have integrated speakers embedded. Pillowy black leather bucket
seats combine comfort and sportiness, topped by roll bar headrests
and other than some light compression on the driver's side, they
appear in very good condition. 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 faceplate and white face dials.
Vents top a center stack that contains the stock AM/FM/CD player
with the disc changer situated behind the seats. A basic A/C panel
then follows leading the eye to a chrome based housing that
surrounds the black booted shifter in front of the requisite cup
holder, all over nice, gray carpet and Prowler mats. 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 253 horsepower. An AutoStick 4-speed
automatic transaxle sets it in motion, planting the power in back
through 3.89 gears.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust and some residual oil is seen on the driver
quality but otherwise clean underside where the dual exhaust flows
through original equipment, ending with chrome tips. Power disc
brakes are employed on all four wheels and suspension consists of
coil overs on the front and rear independent systems.
Drive-Ability
We love representing Prowlers. They're often customized and this
one is the first Mulholland edition we've seen! It performs very
well, with great road holding capabilities and plenty of power for
spirited accelerations, despite what detractors say. This well
maintained version passes our functionality test with a score of
100 and we head back to find a long spot in the mall for this
modern hot rod and its trailer. 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.
It's honestly never a dull moment in the Prowler. We don't leave
the confines of our test loop, but we know if we did, all eyes
would be on the Prowler. If you don't like conversing with people
at stop lights and gas stations, get a Camry. But if you want to
enjoy the adventures of the road and have the spotlight, the
Prowler is the instant show car that you can drive and enjoy on a
regular basis. And with all this storage, overnight trips,
including to Prowler gatherings, is going to be a breeze!
