It reminds me of the last time I ran into my ex wife... there had been so much plastic added, this moved , that shaved off, tuck here and there... that i barely recognized here but there was a hint of the beauty she once was vaguely apparent

I think that is Tom Mills original rear belly pan, he since has made one with the bumpers, (I like the bumpers on the rear better) The wheels look like not enough rear offset, hardtop OK, front end could use a chrome grill

But definately too much money IMO

Ok, I have a Prowler. It is a super fun car to drive. As far as it being worth $69995.No Of all the Prowlers for sale, naturally you pick the most expensive to ask about. There are plenty of Prowlers in the $25-35,000 range. Would I like a manual, Yes, but it does have auto stick. You have to remember these cars were hand assembled and made almost entirely of aluminium. Which makes the very light for the 253 HP. Back in 1999 253 hp was more than most V-8 were. I have drove this car half way across the country with good gas mileage. How many actual hot rods drive very far? Like the saying goes " You either get it or you don't". These have all the creature comforts of new car with looks of old cars. They are also holding their valve better then most cars. They may all look similar, but how many do you actually see? I have had many cars, but none get more attention than this one whenever I drive it.

Of course! If we picked out a regular Prowler with a $25K sticker on it, it wouldn't really make for that great a debate, since (at least in my opinion) it's obviously worth it.

It's the customizations, here, that let us slap a question mark at the end of the price tag and get discussion going.

While I wouldn't call a Prowler a "real" hot rod, I'd definitely love to have one in my garage, especially in that original purple. Gorgeous cars.

Eh, which colour is yours?
