Presented in the two-tone color combination of black over mind-bending Chameleon, this 2000 Plymouth Prowler has traveled only 13,325 miles from new. Like the name suggests, the Chameleon paint changes colors depending on the angle of the viewer and the available light, going from blue to purple in a fluid motion for a remarkably unique viewing experience. The front bumpers have been removed and the rear bumpers have been painted, lending a subtle change that adds a cleaner overall image.
Powered by a 24-valve, 3.5L High Output V-6 with an Autostick 4-speed automatic transmission, the Prowler is equipped with air conditioning, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power steering, power locks, power mirrors, power windows and an AM/FM cassette stereo system, among other creature comforts. The chassis is sprung with an independent front and rear suspension and staggered 17- and 20-inch chrome wheels wrapped in new radial tires with wide footprints, all of which work in unison to provide exceptional handling and predictability.
Dual exhausts with chrome tips look fabulous, but also sound fantastic without being intrusive, which was part of the beauty of the Prowler—it was a Hot Rod that could be driven daily, thanks to the solid drivetrain, creature comforts, outstanding chassis and exceptional manners. The black leather seats are embossed with the Prowler logo and a column-mounted Auto Meter tachometer details out the specified nature of this factory Hot Rod. The 2000 model year would mark the last time the Prowler would wear the Plymouth name, moving over to Chrysler for 2001 and 2002.
When it debuted for 1997, the Prowler caused quite a commotion, with its performance increasing so that the later cars were capable of 0-60 MPH in just under 6 seconds and could find a top speed of more than 120 MPH. With only a hair more than 11,000 built, they aren’t getting any more plentiful, and finding one with the low miles and a unique paint combination like this car makes it even more intriguing.
