Kijiji Finds

It was the early 2000s. The retro feels were strong! First wave of boomers were getting to retire early at 55. Lots of money to go around to buy toys.

I've always liked these !

On another note: people who sell an expensive or rare car (or even any car!) with a 5 word description and shit pictures...

Maybe it's just me, but I like a complete description,how long you owned it, any faults, maintenance records.

Not sure this type of clientele cares really about the maintenance and the oil used on a 300k car . Or a description anyway . When you know what your are looking for a this level you just phone the seller and ask questions .

Shit pour en avoir conduit une ... ca me donnait le meme feeling qu’une mustang 2000, une vraie guenille lol

Faut aimer le look j’imagine ou le fait qu’elle était assemblée à la main.

Je trouve qu’elle a très mal vieillis

C'était déjà laid quand c'est sorti. C'est comme les Prowlers ou autre cossins "rétro" de la même période.

They absolutely do even on a 50-60k Porsche. 99% of buyers want a service log. You are totally wrong. The point of the logs is for "provenance"

Even a cheaper Ferrari 360 without a log is 10k less...

Prowler was an engineering/design project that oddly enough sold pretty well. It was never meant to be a sports car but rather hommage to hotrods. The car is mostly aluminum with a bonded chassis. The problem is they gave it a 4sp automatic transmission and the press compared it to actual sports cars... That's the issue with automotive press if one writes a bad review, they all follow suit. The Prowler never promised to be anything but a retro inspired car. I remember the media at the time comparing it to NSX, C5 Corvette and M3... Wtf

Chrysler also knew their market and kept the automatic as most buyers had knee issues. There are a good amount of manual swapped ones now

I find if you remove the front "front bumpers" it looks great. I don't like American stuff too much but the fact it looks like nothing else makes it awesome.

As I said looks better without the bumpers. It's aged pretty good considering its based off a 32 Ford hotrod designed in the 90s. Give it some slack. The best part is that nearly everyone has forgot about it

The 3.5 V6 in later cars is not a terrible engine. People forget to change the timing belts...

et sans bumper , lui c'est pas mal plus beau que celle que Gregster a posté , ça presque l'air oem
 
The bummer about a prowler is Chrysler doesn't support it anymore. Some stuff like sensors they'll have but suspension or body panels? Unlikely so what happens is it makes it expensive to repair because now some specialist shop has the NOS parts or massive stock of used. Everytime Chrysler gets sold the parts Warehouse gets cleaned up.. the big 3 in general supporting their classic cars sucks big time.

Vs That Z8 where I gaurentee BMW has everything for it. Won't be cheap and you might need to wait a couple weeks but they will have the parts. Same with Porsche and Mercedes

Moi aussi je l'ai toujours aimé la Prowler, mais au prix que ca se vendait et au look que ça a ,
ça aurait prit un gros block puissant.

Mais comme ça a été dit sans front bumper.

Le 3,5 est vraiment sous estimé, c’était un bon v6 pour un moteur américain de cette époque!

Next on MR. People shocked that E39 M5 has regulating ball steering aka a steering box.

It shocked me quite a bit to see how many 90's german car still had steering box, shocked in a good way tho, i hate rack n pinion with a passion, i hate everything that is now weaker than before and people claim shits are better nowadays, better in a whole maybe, but not when you pinpoint stuff.

Just like a unibody is maybe stiffer in a whole, it is a lot weaker than a body on frame on a pinpoint stress like hitting a rock on the undercarriage or hooking the vehicule at a specific spot.
Building a car with 60-70's technologies using 2020's tolerance and quality of steel would be one amazing machine, imagine a high strengh galvanized steel body/frame, all iron drivetrain, solid axles with leafsprings, with rebuildable and greasable parts with no emissions stuff and a simple single barrel carburretor, it would run fucking forever.

My uncle was working on a 1937 chrysler couple years ago, even the engine waterpump had a zerk, i think i got a hard on.
