The car to the best of my knowledge was sold new in Texas to Richard F who was responsible for many of the modifications to the car including the flame job on the side panels, fenders, dash, door panels, and intake plenum not to mention the large quantities of chrome throughout the car which from what I heard did well by the car at the "Autorama".

The car was sold through e-bay to my friend Mark H here in Maryland. I was with him when he picked it up from the shipper, the car had about 9,000 miles on it.

I became the third owner in December 2008. The car had 13,800 miles on it. Today it has 25,250 miles (plus or minus)

I am enjoying every minute of the Prowler experience especially the folks associated with it.

P.S.
I have photo copies of the first and second titles to the car as part of the cars history for any subsequent owners.

I'm not too sure. There was a bunch of really ugly old women in there with some funky hats on, warts on their noses, and greenish skin. NOTHING like the ones in Nevada, I'll tell you that! And the ones in the parking lot weren't any better!

Sounds to me like he crashed a Red Hat Society Convention.
You should never take "...for a good time" suggestions from Monohan.
Serves you right!

Haven't tried Carfax yet to see what states it had info from, as I understand that will not give previous owner information.

That paper I got from the dealer on my van was called a VIP SUMMARY REPORT. It's kinda like a dealer's carfax. Shows Vehicle info, Warning message(s), Vehicle restriction, Owner information, Warranty coverage summary, Recall information, Service history (he went back 24 months), Service contracts, Current vehicle transfer information (for the warranty), Selling dealer information, Open CAIR summary.

Wally Hutton must have bought her 2/5/2001 with 1194 miles and then sold her to Darryl Fisher, his neighbor 4/9/2004 with 11,220 miles.

I bought the Yellow 12/23/2008 from the Fishers with 18,305 miles. No accidents or any other problems at all found. I am the fourth owner if you don't count the dealer in Florida.

So that narrows down where it was from, I just need to see who had it in Collinsville Illinios and if he was the one who painted it, and who then did the paint.

Through many searches and with the help of several members here, I had a great hour long conversation yesterday with the first owner of the Yellow. He still lives in Collinsville and was surprised to hear that no one had seen this car before, as he had won many shows with it in the St. Louis and Columbia Missouri area, along with Canada and in Tampa Florida. He told me this was the second custom paint that was done to the car and also surprised me that there was a trailer that went with the car, but that the purchaser chose not to take it, so he sold it later. The Trailer had a mural painted on it and matched the car's first paint scheme, but was sold to someone south of Dallas. He is helping me run down that owner too. Maybe I can reunite the car and trailer! Phil has some pictures of the before and afters and some other items he has graciously offered to send me.

The paint work was done by Quint's Kustom Kolors in Avon Indiana, www.quintskustomkolors.com and Quint was the one to do the first custom work also. I am curious to see how that looked before he let Quint do this one. Quint didn't have any pictures of this Prowler on his website, but I hope to speak with him soon, and if I can't get the trailer, maybe I can get him to do something to our current Yellow Trailer. If you look at the link to his website, you can see some influences to what was done on the Yellow Prowler. Phil said Quint is very talented and I can see that from some of his other work. I hope to speak to Quint sometime this week too.

When I show this car, I always get questions about the paint and who did the work. Now I am getting to where I can answer all of the history of the car correctly.
