Still to this day have never seen a follow up video of it actually working, used, on the track or with real miles. Great build, great motor been out there along time.
would really to see it actually used on the streets.

When a company spend years and estimate over 40-60k+ on a build, doesn't document much its sits then sells with 6,947miles. Tells you something.

I guess the new BJ buyer if not sitting in his nice garage would take it too who locally for service??? A friendly local Toyota customizer? a Chrysler dealer? Race car mechanic?

Anyone else found or heard anything about the new owner or car since it sold at BJ in 2011? 59K is a huge loss to the build cost.

As always-Nothing easy or simple going fast in a prowler. This was a bold and very detailed one off build. Yes I talked with them in my research interesting feedback- I bet you will never see another one. They did do another custom prowler but it was all looks without motor work. They also did some nice custom Brembos on the Kat. See the top.

I might sound like a broken record here on my posts but want to share the truth for those interested.
Before like many of you I was curious, I never got real answers I only saw pretty pictures online and never saw a lot of long term results. What I learned is that every build had a back story and the truth was not as simple of what folks see on the surface with a prowler. Those that got it right were some of the happiest prowler people I ever met but the story of getting there and the long term never easy.

I believe if your going to put so much into such a dream why not actually enjoy it.

The word custom is just that, you take a big risk, the reward is not guaranteed and the only real person(s) that will know the in's and outs of your custom (through a trial and error process ) is the one that built it.

Key fact: for almost all that have rolled the dice note that the original builder typically wont be around long term locally to support you after the fact.

If you truly have the passion, balls and pockets to do something radical (for a speed dream) be practical and do your research.

All I can say is having a 1 off car that you can actually drive, take to a local Chrysler dealership for service and still order majority parts from a Mopar catalog is priceless and also getting to that point very lucky.
My local 5 star NJ chysler dealership and service tech does all the work on the Hemi kat and nothing really major to date.
