When it comes to cool collectible cars, typically, enthusiasts will choose a classic hot rod, or occasionally a modern-day muscle car, or sometimes collectors will want a car that is just unique and cool. Well, what if you could have a car embodying all three of those characteristics? That's precisely what this 2001 Plymouth Prowler has going for it. Painted in its (believed) original Prowler Silver Metallic, highlighted by hand-applied pinstripes, this neo-hot rod is a head-turner anywhere it goes. But, with just 11,506 miles on the odometer, it hasn't gone too far despite being a quarter of a century old.
Inside this two-seat throwback roadster, we find a beautifully well-kept Agate leather interior almost as clean and stock as the day it was made. The centrally mounted white-faced gauge cluster is only offset by the column-mounted tachometer, which keeps score of every RPM. The stock head unit is a factory piece, complete with a CD changer located behind the passenger seat.
Under the hood, we find the original high-output 3.5-liter DOHC aluminum block and heads V-6 that produces 253 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. That power is funneled through a rear-mounted four-speed Autostick semi-automatic transmission by way of a torque tube to allow engineers to give the Prowler perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
