Details

This 2001 Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler has 16,750 actual miles and is being sold through CLASSIC.COM Pro. Power comes from a 3.5L V6 engine routed through a four-speed automatic transmission mounted in the rear of the car that sends power to the rear wheels. The two-door convertible is finished in blue with black leather upholstery. This unmodified example boasts AC, an aluminum frame, four-wheel disc brakes, four-link rear suspension, F1-style front suspension, coil-overs, and a rear window defroster. The car has spent time in Vermont and New York with two previous owners and resides in St. Albans, New York.

As shown in third-party photos, this 2001 Prowler’s blue paint and black interior show well for their age. A third-party inspection does reveal some scratches in the paint, in particular on the nose of the car. On the interior, the black upholstery shows only minor wear on the seats, and the inspection did report a puncture in the headliner. Mechanically, the engine, transmission, AC, and convertible top all function well. The next owner should monitor the tread depth on the tires. The third-party inspection rated the exterior of the vehicle at 4.3 out of 5 and the interior at 3.9 out of 5. The vehicle is in impressive overall condition. Included in the sale are the owner’s manual and one set of keys. 

This car is being marketed by a CLASSIC.COM Pro on behalf of its current owner and is located in St. Albans, New York.

About the model

The Plymouth Prowler is a 2 door roadster that was introduced in 1997. Notable for its unique design, the Prowler featured open front wheels and sleek styling. With a 3.5L V6 engine at the front and an automatic transmission at the back, the Prowler had a near 50/50 weight distribution. During its production, parent company Chrysler discontinued the Plymouth brand, so late Prowlers are listed as Chrysler Prowlers. Production of the Prowler lasted until 2002, with 11,702 examples built.
