SuperDaveI recently picked up a 17" Prowler wheel (first image below) that appears to be off one of the original concept cars (second image below). Does anyone have information on this wheel? I've never seen another and would love to have some information about it.

Thanks in advance!

Dave


Larry LordDave,
Did you get both fronts or just one?
SuperDaveI only have one of these wheels, thanks for the reply, Larry!

Dave

Larry LordI have 2 rears but haven't been able to find the fronts.

Wayne FinchThere are all just worthless pieces of metal. Just send them to me and I will dispose of them
HowardI think AC has the last wheel in his house. He has put a piece of glass over it, and is using it as his kitchen table.
TOY4TWOI think they were all turned into clocks

spoonsI think the concept wheels you have awesome...I wish I had a set for my car.

They may have never been on a Prowler concept. I still would not mind having set. Great find.

Larry LordRich,
You are correct.
My rear wheels are off a Prangler.
The story I got is that the Prangler broke down on the side of the road in Ohio during a snowstorm. The wheels must have fallen off and rolled into a snowbank....
Lucky for me, when the snow melted and the car was gone, a very nice fellow found the wheels and listed them on ebay. He also found the four fronts (I know) but had already sold the set of 4 to a guy that planned on putting them on a B-body car.
Mike Gatlin picked the wheels up in Ohio for me a few years ago when he and Karen were traveling to Vegas for a Prowler run. George Carter then brought them from Vegas to Colton for me. It pays to have Prowler friends.
I've tried and tried but have yet to find a pair of fronts. I hope that someday I'll find enough wheels to make a full set.

Here's the best part. He says the Prangler may still be alive.
I doubt it is but you just never know. Strange things can happen in an Ohio snowstorm.
RPL may be able to add a bit to this story.

spoonsSounds to me like someone an employee or insider at DCX parted out the Prangler before it got crushed?

Is that CJ in the passenger seat?

NeverBlandSame as the concept prowler:

tangled up in BLUE...the Prangler sure was BUTT UGLY....
spoonsDid the Prowler concept have 20" wheels on the front? They look bigger then 17". I wonder if there is a set of those concept Prowler headlight out there?

What engine was in the concept car?

WHAT? After all I went thru to deliver those wheels to you!

So that probably clears out the last of the clutter you have accumulated right?
