Used 1999 Plymouth Prowler Base

1999 Plymouth Prowler Convertible In December 2023 Hagerty released its list of Bull Market collectibles - the 10 best collector cars to buy and the Plymouth Prowler made the list! They wrote: Perhaps surprisingly, members of Gen X, (born between 1965 and 1980), are now trickling into the Prowler, slowly supplanting the boomers who were the initial target when the car was conceived.. That may be true as Prowlers are consistent sellers at Classic Auto Mall, but we find the demographic may be wider than Gen X.  For consignment, a 1999 Plymouth Prowler convertible with a title verified 64,590 actual miles. This wild ride has a newer top, sound system, and tires and is ready for cruising!  Exterior The unique style makes them great in any color, and this Prowler Red is not exception and like a crouching cat, the wide hips and front haunches of the fenders all share the color which looks especially nice coupled with the black adornments like the bumpers, gravel guards, windshield frame, and of course, that black canvas top. Plymouth designed it to look chopped and mission accomplished, while the staggered wheels, 17's in front and 20's in back, give the car a raked appearance even as its stance is flat. The staggered tires have an early 2025 date code. While the whole car was polarizing in design, it's the back that gets the most attention. We think it's cool with extra wide expanse, fat tires, and dual pipes headed out. Imperfections include numerous random scratches, hazy clear coat in back, tiny tears in the canvas, some curb rash, a piece of fiberglass broken on the rocker panel, spider cracks, evident repairs on the rocker, scuffs, and rock chips.  Interior Inside, the past has been left behind and now for the passengers the dual high backed buckets draped in Ebony leather with integrated roll bars in the headrests, sit snugly within the compartment and both show some patina. These buckets have nicely stitched panels with some extra padding and bolsters for that curve carving which will inevitably go on when behind the wheel of this speedster. A center console races forward to the dash, and houses a large glovebox, the shifter with auto-stick detent. Moving upward we note an upgraded AM/FM/CD radio above the A/C dials. Directly above the center is the surfboard shaped body colored faceplate that houses the gauges, with the speedo in the center with a digital readout, while on top of the steering column is a factory installed AutoMeter tachometer. A flip up rear lid reveals the covered area for the top and just a little storage and there's a CD changer behind the passenger seat. Black carpet floods the floors, and a note to the convertible top the rear window is glass.   Drivetrain Clean but not showy conditions are found under the long hood where we have the 3.5 liter V6 rated at 254 horsepower and backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with auto stick option, routing power to the rear axle with 3.89 gears.   Undercarriage Driver quality with some typical metal discolor corrosion, some residual oil on the pan, and some soot about. Suspension consists of coil spring on the independent front and rear and power disc brakes are employed on all four wheels. Dual exhaust runs through the original system including an elongated dual chambered muffler before exiting out back. Drive-Ability This car started right up and on the test track performed beautifully. It had snappy acceleration, good handling, good braking, and a smooth cruise. The central dash calls back the design from the 30's and is much different from the average daily driver modern car. We note the reverse light not working, the airbag light is on, and there's a squeak when turning left we suspect might be a ball joint issue. All other functions work as they should. 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
