132843 / 2001 Chrysler Prowler Mulholland Edition

For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/85dhhv3 Bought right off the showroom floor as a hand built custom with OEM quality and performance, this factory fresh 2001 Chrysler Prowler Mulholland Edition presents the perfect opportunity to own a low mileage 21st century hot rod which performs just as well as any new sports car! Named after the legendary street in Los Angeles, California, this Mulholland Edition Prowler was one of the first 1,281 Chrysler Prowlers built. And with its Midnight Blue paint and hand painted pin stripe by Dr. Ru, it's a super slick roadster which exhibits the perfect combination of hot rod style and advanced technology. Today, after hours and hours invested in keeping it shiny and clean, its finish looks virtually brand new; and judging by its mirror-like reflections, has likely never seen rain or been outside of a climate controlled garage for more than a sunny afternoon road trip. Since all Prowlers were completely hand assembled at Chrysler's Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan, these roadsters typically show above average build quality and stellar paint finishes. And this one, with its tight gaps, solid closing doors and top that seals up tighter than any '32 Ford roadster ever could, looks and feels better than most cars that cost twice our asking price! When the Prowler finally hit the streets, many purists were upset that a V6 was the only powertrain option. What those purists failed to realize was: 1) with 253 horsepower and 250 lb./ft. of torque, this car's 3.5 liter 24 valve SOHC V6 was making virtually the same power as Chrysler's Magnum V8s at the time and 2) when combined with the car's lightweight chassis and low center of gravity, it made some very impressive performance numbers. Mechanically, the all-aluminum engine is showroom new in just about every possible way. I'm sure it's benefitted from a few oil changes; but beyond that, everything is essentially fresh out of the box. And it certainly appears that the car has been properly maintained and driven often enough to keep everything in top operating condition. The smooth engine fires up instantly, idles perfectly and moves this relatively lightweight Prowler with real authority. Behind that buff V6, a 42LE 4-speed automatic transaxle, which features an 'AutoStick' gear change setting, is more of a toy than a functional performance improvement. That road ready drivetrain is held off the ground by an aluminum intensive chassis which is equipped with an independent double A-arm front suspension and an independent multilink rear suspension. Coil over shock at all four corners, and front and rear stabilizer bars out back combine with power rack and pinion steering to carve curves for lunch and eat potholes for dinner. And stops come courtesy of composite four wheel disc brakes which feature 11 inch vented rotors up front and 13 inch vented rotors out back. The engine produces a rowdy, throaty exhaust note through two fat chrome pipes which exit at the back of the car. And for a bit of flash, this Prowler spins 225/45 front and 295/40 rear Goodyear Eagle GS-D radials around 17 and 20 inch chrome plated alloy wheels. Inside, the Prowler's driver and passenger will welcome the very nicely shaped low back black leather bucket seats. Naturally, the windows, locks and mirrors are all power operated, and the superb, 320-watt, seven speaker sound system comes standard with a six disc CD changer that's located just behind the passenger seat. Buttons hidden on the backside of the steering wheel control the sound system, while buttons located on the front of the steering wheel operate the car's cruise control. The dash offers a center-mounted 150 MPH speedometer with four smaller ancillary gauges, the voltmeter and oil pressure gauge to the left and fuel and temperature gauge to the right, all in a Midnight Blue panel that is a great tribute to vintage hot rods of all kinds. In front of the driver, an Auto Meter tachometer is perched top-dead-center on the car's tilt steering column. And behind the driver, a chrome aftermarket fire extinguisher is within arm's reach. This Prowler is an exceptionally fun 2-seat convertible which features a sporty V6, excellent driving dynamics and classic good looks.
