HOW COME THE MAJORITY OF PROWLERS FOR SALE ARE 1999's? IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS APPARENT DUMP OR MERELY A CONSTANT COINCIDENCE? |

Being that there were no 1998 (titled) models, is it not true that 1999 models actually represent 1998 and 1999 production and therefore represents 2 years? This message has been edited by hotroddaddy on 07-11-2007 at 10:21 PM |

Sort of. The 1997 production year started late and by the time it started, it was well into what would have been the 1998 model year. So, they skipped it. I don't see that there are any more problems with the 99's than any of the other. In 2000, there were a few minor changes, in particular a change in the suspension for a bit better ride. I have a 99 Black and haven't had any problems. It could be that those who have 97's hold on to them because they were the first and perhaps aren't driven as much?? If you look at the stats, you will see that there were a total of: 1997 - Purple - 457 built Obviously, there were more Prowlers built in 1999 than any other year of production and because 99 was an early model, they may be the ones with the most miles on them. Or the owners have (God forbid!), sold them to move on to something else? |

Great read C.J. Thanks for your input on these precious toys... You have Black Tie listed twice on the 2001 list. Was that supposed to be just Black? As 0ne was made in 2001 Chrysler Black? I wouldn't have know this info but I just researched it as a friend Henry is looking at a 1999 Black and hopes to get it soon... onecatnodog This message has been edited by onecatnodog on 07-11-2007 at 11:54 PM |

Our 99 Purple has had only a few minor issues such as blown speakers and worn out hood lift shocks. We have over 35K miles on it. |

Our '99 has just over 40,000 miles and the only problems we have is the speakers replaced under warranty and hood lift shocks just like Rich & Linda. I prefer the stiffer springs and shocks of the '99s. |

I had over 50,000 on the first one but I did have to replace the transmission sensors on it. I did not have any speaker problems that I could hear but who knows. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another 99 somewhere down the road. The second one only had 3500 miles on it. No problems. |

Man, there must be oxygen depravation being experienced in some rural areas of Michigan. Will that be over before Woodward? Maybe we can schedule some time at the old Detroit Dragway and check out these 2002 rumors. lol |

Probably have to go over to Milan Dragway off of 23. I don't think Detroit Dragway at Sibley and Dix is even there anymore, ah for that misspent youth in the late 50's and through the 60's with factory backed racing. |
