2002 Chrysler Prowler - Auction - Sandy, UT - 2002 Chrysler ProwlerVIN# 1C3EW65G82V102007In the 1990s, Chrysler engineers were given free rein to design whatever they wanted in a "hot rod" or "sportster" type vehicle. Thomas C. Gale, Chrysler's design and international director "love for 1930s-era hot rods inspired Chrysler's latest design triumph, the retro-styled Plymouth Prowler." Gale, who had a built 1932 Ford in his garage, approved the rod-inspired Plymouth Prowler as the company's follow-up show-stopper to the Dodge Viper. An early influence is credited to a Chrysler-sponsored project at the Art Center College of Design that resulted in a thesis by Douglas "Chip" Foose that included drawings of a retro-roadster. Foose designed the car as a coupe for Chrysler to begin with but modified it to a roadster version. One of the most striking design features of the Prowler are the open, Indy racer-style front wheels. The Prowler featured a powertrain from Chrysler's LH-cars, a 24-valve, 3.5 L Chrysler SOHC V6 engine producing 214 hp (160 kW; 217 PS) at 5850 rpm.This 2002 Prowler is best exemplified by it's extremely low miles. Only 7200 miles show on the odometer and the inside, outside and underneath of the car will attest to this. Only 1436 of these cars were produced in 2002, making this Prowler an awesome low mile, low production car for the finest of car collections to own.Link to ad on Hemmings.com
