Searching for a car that truly has a look of its own? One that displays an obvious connection to the street rods of the past, but also has the modern conveniences you'd want for frequent driving? Then you need to check out this 1999 Plymouth Prowler. To call this car ""clean"" would be doing it a disservice - it has only logged 18,000 miles in its entire lifetime and is in absolutely top shape in every respect. Add to that its matching trailer, which is no mere ""throw-in"". It mirrors the graceful curves of the car it follows and is also in superb condition.
The fact that you don't see many Prowlers on the road these days should come as no surprise. There were fewer than 12,000 of them produced during their entire five-year run. The fact that Prowlers looked nothing like anything else on the road - and, of course, still don't - was no mere accident, either. From its open wheel front end to its raised rear fenders, the Prowler's design was heavily inspired by Chrysler's Design Director Thomas Gale's own '32 roadster. With its stellar form, this specimen represents its model well. It's decked out in bright red paint - a fitting shade for a car with so much curb appeal - that receives protection from the elements by a professionally-applied ceramic coating and absolutely radiates freshness. Even upon close inspection, everything you see is in great shape - the contrasting black canvas top is unfaded, clear glass surrounds the cabin and both bumpers are arrow straight and unblemished. Bringing up the rear behind this memorable ride is a custom trailer that matches its outstanding condition.
Climb inside this Prowler and you'll be surrounded by a comfortable black leather interior that features some sharp accents in the form of nicely applied chrome trim on the steering wheel, dash area and door panels. An Autometer tachometer is also now perched on the steering column to keep tabs on revs. This Chrysler's light usage combines with the attentive care it has received to result in an unusually fresh driving environment - the pair of bucket seats at the center of the cockpit present pretty much as they did when this car first rumbled off the showroom floor and there are no obvious blemishes to mar the overall impact of the interior. Comfort and convenience features include air conditioning that blows cold, cruise control, power door locks, windows and mirrors, a rear window defogger and an AM/FM/cassette stereo.
This head turning ride is powered by a fuel-injected 3.5-liter DOHC V6 that resides inside just the ultra-clean engine compartment you'd expect from a meticulously maintained car like this. The engine fires right up and idles smoothly, teaming with a 4-speed automatic transmission to provide strong acceleration. Dual exhausts leading to aftermarket FloFX mufflers add a nice, throaty exhaust note. With independent suspension at both ends, the Prowler is a force to contend with on the skidpad - in fact this '99 was neck and neck with the industry leaders in that category when it was released. A set of chrome spoked wheels - 17"" in front and 20"" in back to add to the Prowler's aggressive, inclined stance - are wrapped with Continental tires that show plenty of tread and cap off its singular appearance very nicely.
With its distinctive mixture of vintage and modern visual cues and absolutely stellar overall condition, this 1999 Plymouth Prowler is a rare find. Call today!
