NEVER EXPOSED TO RAIN - METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED - PROUDLY CARED FOR ONLY 15. 00 MILES (at this moment 14. 98) DETAILED DESCRIPTION:THIS IS MY BABY. FOR SALE IS MY 2001 PLYMOUTH PROWLER ROADSTER. I HAVE BEEN THE PROUD OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER 10 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE OF MANY SHOW VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED OVER THE YEARS. IT HAS GOT ME THROUGH SOME PRETTY BAD TIMES AND MADE EVEN MORE GOOD TIMES EVEN BETTER. FOR THESE REASONS I AM IN NO HURRY TO SELL! THIS PROWLER GETS SO MUCH ATTENTION ITS CRAZY! GETS THUMBS UP EVERYWHERE. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE IN YOUR BLIND SPOT STARING. QUESTIONS EVERYWHERE YOU GO. THERES NOTHING LIKE IT!THE STORY:I BOUGHT THIS PROWLER BACK IN 2004 AND IT WAS BONE STOCK WITH 7700 MILES. AFTER A COUPLE YEARS I DECIDED THAT EVEN AS RARE AS THE PROWLER IS ITSELF. AND EVEN MORE RARE AS A PLYMOUTH ORANGE COPPER PEARL METALLIC. OCCASIONALLY AT A SHOW SOMEWHERE I WOULD SEE ANOTHER ONE. ADDITIONALLY THE BLACK CONVERTIBLE TOP. BLACK INTERIOR AND DARK CARPET WERE VERY BORING LOOKING. I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND THAT MEANS BLACK IS HOT! VERY HOT! TRY AND SIT IN BLACK SEATS AFTER THE SUN HAS BEEN BAKING THEM FOR A COUPLE HOURS. OUCH! ANYWAY. I DECIDED TO TAKE THIS PROWLER UP A NOTCH AND MAKE IT A ONE OF A KIND CUSTOM UNLIKE ANY OTHER. SO THIS IS WHAT I DID. FULL CUSTOM INTERIOR: I VISITED A REPUTABLE LOCAL CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY SHOP AND PICKED OUT THE BEST QUALITY LEATHER YOU CAN BUY IN A LIGHT SADDLE COLOR. $700 PER COWHIDE AND MATCHED IT WITH A HEAVY DUTY TWEED A FEW SHADES LIGHTER. LOOKED GREAT WITH THE ORANGE METALLIC PAINT. THEY CUSTOMIZED THE INTERIOR WITH NEW LEATHER AND TWEED ON BUCKET SEATS WITH PROWLER STITCHED ON. ALL STITCHING USING ORANGE THREAD. NEW DOOR PANELS WITH STITCHED PROWLER HEAD. FULL DASH WRAPPED IN LEATHER. NEW STITCHED LEATHER SHIFTER BOOT AND HANDLE. NEW LEATHER WRAPPED VISORS. NEW LEATHER WRAPPED BACK DECK. LOOKED GREAT!. BUT. THE CARPET NOW LOOKED WAY TOO DARK. I PICKED OUT A DARKER SHADE SADDLE COLOR PLUSH CARPET AND THEY MADE A COMPLETE FRONT TO BACK CARPET KIT FOR ME. THAT HELPED THE LOOK ALOT. VERY COMFORTABLE ALSO. THE INTERIOR WAS NOW FULL CUSTOM. VERY LIGHT & BRIGHT. COMFORTABLE. NO LONGER HOT. nbsp;BUT. THE BLACK CONVERTIBLE TOP JUST LOOKED WRONG. AFTER SOME SEARCHING THE UPHOLSTERY SHOP SAID THEY COULDNT FIND A PATTERN FOR THE PROWLER TOP BECAUSE THE VOLUME OF PROWLERS OUT THERE IS SO LOW. I ASKED THEM TO MAKE ONE AND PICKED OUT A VERY HUGH QUALITY SUNBRELLA WATERPROOF FABRIC TOP MATERIAL AND THEY CUSTOM MADE IT FOR ME. PERFECT! NOW IT REALLY LOOKS CUSTOM! TOTAL COST WHEN ALL WAS COMPLETE WAS $7563. CUSTOM PAINT: ONCE I DECIDED TO GO WITH 'REAL FIRE' CUSTOM PAINT SCHEME. I SEARCHED TO FIND THE ARTIST THAT DID IT THE BEST. MANY I SAW I JUST DIDNT LIKE THEIR WORK. I MET BRUCE ROSIER. AN AIRBRUSH ARTIST THAT HAD THE TALENT AND THE DESIRE I WAS LOOKING FOR. WHEN WE DISCUSSED WHAT I WANTED TO DO FOR THE PAINT JOB HE SAID HE "GOT GOOSEBUMPS JUST THINKING ABOUT PAINTING THE CAR". THAT WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR AND I GAVE HIM THE JOB. HE SURE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND I COULDNT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER. WOW. WHAT A PAINT JOB! IT TOOK 7 STAGES OF ARTWORK USING REDS. YELLOWS. ORANGES. AND CANDIES TO GET THE 'REAL FIRE' TO LOOK THIS REALISTIC. THE SIGNATURE FLAMES AND EMBERS ACTUALLY GLOW IN THE SUNLIGHT!REAL FIRE ON THE HOOD. GRILLE. NOSE SIDES. FRONT FENDERS AND BOTH DOORS. OF COURSE CLEAR COATED WITH 3 COATS FOR A MIRROR FINISH. AND. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS ON ANY OTHER PROWLER. SUBTLE 'PROWLER HEADS' IN THE FLAMES ON EACH SIDE. THIS IS ALL CUSTOM HAND PAINTED! ONCE PEOPLE SEE THIS THEY BRING EVERYONE THEY KNOW OVER TO SHOW THEM. VERY COOL! TO FINISH IT OFF. BRUCE CUSTOM PAINTED THE INTERIOR DASH GAUGE BEZEL WITH THE SAME 'REAL FIRE' TO ADD THE CUSTOM PAINT LOOK INSIDE. THEN ADDED 'ON THE PROWL' UNDER THE REAR TRUNK LID ABOVE THE LICENSE PLATE. BRUCE HAS ONE EVERY SHOW WHERE HIS WORK HAS BEEN ENTERED. IN 2012 HE WAS THE WINNER OF THE SEMA ARTIST AWARD! HIS WORK IS AWESOME AND HE'S AN EVEN NICER GUY! AFTER ALL IS DONE FINAL COST $7000 AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!CUSTOM WHEELS & TIRES: THE STOCK BIGS & LITTLES WHEELS AND TIRES. 17" FRONT 20" REAR ARE COOL BUT CERTAINLY NOT CUSTOM. I FOUND SOME OF THE BEST QUALITY WHEELS ARE MADE BY THE ASANTI LUXURY WHEEL CO. NOT JUST A GOOD LOOKING WHEEL BUT A QUALITY STEEL FORGED WHEEL WITH HEAVY CHROME PLATING. ASANTI CUSTOM MADE THESE FOR THE PROWLER WITH A BETTER 22" WHEEL ON THE REAR AND A 19" WHEEL ON THE FRONT. THESE WHEELS ARE BADASS AND ONE OF A KIND. AFTER ADDING A SET OF PIRELLI SCORPION ZERO RADIAL LOW PROFILE TIRES THE LOOK AND STANCE WAS SECOND TO NONE. 295/30/ZR22 IN REAR. 225/35/ZR19 IN FRONT. JUST PERFECT IN MY OPINION. TOTAL COST $5907. CUSTOM PARTS: I ADDED ALOT OF AFTERMARKET CHROME PARTS JUST TO ADD TO THE LOOKS. CHROME GRILLE ACCENTS. CHROME ENGINE KIT. CHROME FRONT SUSPENSION COVERS. CHROME REAR TRANS COOLER COVER. CHROME HEADREST COVERS AND BRUSHED ALUMINUM REAR DECK COVER. AFTER-MARKET ALARM SYSTEM. TOTAL COST $1805. OTHER: EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT INSIDE WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN OR IN A MOISTURE/HUMIDITY CONTROLLED BUBBLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS DURING ITS LIFE I BOUGHT A GOOD QUALITY EVOLUTION TECHNALON CUSTOM CAR COVER TO PROTECT IT FROM DUST AND ANY CONTAMINANTS. TOTAL COST $350. MAINTENANCE: ALWAYS MAINTAINED AS NEEDED WITH QUALITY ROYAL PURPLE ENGINE OIL AND TRANS FLUID. ENGINE IS STOCK EXCEPT FOR A COLD AIR INTAKE INSTALLED. THE TIRES HAVE APPX 5000 MILES ON THEM. STEREO AM/FM MULTI-CD CHANGER:BRAND NEW SPEAKERS ADDED IN FEBRUARY 2014. TOTAL COST $467. COMMON PROBLEMS: PROWLERS HAVE SOME INHERENT PROBLEMS THAT AROSE OVER THE YEARS IN MOST OF THEM. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF THESE AS THEY HAPPENED. 1. THE STEREO SPEAKERS DRY OUT QUICKLY. NEW QUALITY BETTER SPEAKERS INSTALLED FEB 2014. 2. HOOD SUPPORTS LOSE STRENGTH BECAUSE OF LONG HOOD SHAPE. NEW LIFT SUPPORT TECHNOLOGIES SUPPORTS INSTALLED. 3. FUEL PUMP IS WEAK (INSIDE FUEL TANK) AND TENDS TO FAIL. NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. 4. WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS BECAUSE PLASTIC MOLDS ARE WEAK. INSTALLED PROWLER REGULATOR UPGRADE KIT ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. PASS WINDOW USED VERY INFREQUENTLY. KUDOS: THIS PROWLER HAS ONE AWARDS AT EVERY SHOW IT HAS ENTERED FOR MANY YEARS. I NO LONGER WORRY ABOUT AWARDS. JUST HAVING THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING IT IS REWARD ENOUGH FOR ME. STANDARD STOCK PROWLER INFO from a WEBSITE: 3. 5L MPI SOHC 24-valve V6 high output engine Rear-mounted 4-speed Electronically controlled Automatic Transmission with Auto-stick Manual shift r option and Over Drive Brake/shift interlock Rear Wheel Drive 90 amp alternator Fully independent Front Suspension w/unequal length control arms 4-link rear suspension w/ lower control arm Front & Rear stabilizer bar Power Rack & Pinion steering 4-Wheel vented Disc Brakes 12. 2 gallon fuel tank w/onboard refueling vapor recovery system Hot Rod inspired styling. lightweight construction. a high-output V6 motor. and nimble handling make this one of the most exciting cars Plymouth/Chrysler ever built. With striking good looks combining Indy car-style open wheels and a modern-retro roadster body. it looks like no other production car ever made. The Prowler's design was based on the "Hemisfear" concept originally conceived by the now famous Chip Foose. There is little argument that the Prowler was collectible the minute it rolled out of the factory. Only 8532 Plymouth Prowlers were made between 1997 and 2002. and examples this nice are getting harder and harder to find. 2001 was the the LAST year for PLYMOUTH and ONLY year for the Prowler Orange paint. With just 695 Plymouths dressed in orange. it is one of the rarest colors. Its powered by a 3. 5 liter V6 rated at 253 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque mated to an Autostick shiftable automatic transmission. With lightweight liberal use aluminum construction and 50-50 weight distribution. this Prowler launches off the line impressively and stays glued to the road through turns.
