2kprowler	I did not see this car in person, but I had the auction house send me some pics and information. The car was on consignment and has 25,000 miles on it, a salvage title and supposedly no frame damage. Some body repair is evident. I asked the auction house if they would take down my information and pass it on to the current owner if the car did not sell or pass it on to the new owner if he was interested in selling it for a few more bucks than he paid for it. We'll, I heard the car sold in the high 17's and the new owner would take around 18k. A bit more than I was willing to pay. Would you have bought????? I was able to get the VIN and will send to Adacus to post under Retired Kats. [img] [img]http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/image_u ploads/driversside.jpg[/img]
ALLEY CAT	Lining up those pictures,,,,I was getting dizzy: This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 04-26-2009 at 10:59 PM
ALLEY CAT	My first thought,,,,,,,,,did it have the front end torn off of it? Paint doesn't match,,,,panels don't fit right,,,,,etc. Is it a salvage title car? I guess it will work ,,,,,,,but I wouldn't ride in it @ 130mph.
2kprowler	Thanks Alley Cat, This was my first attempt at uploading pics.. PS, you left out the first pic of the control arms. lol You must still be dizzy from lining up the pics. I was told the car has a salvage title and that the off color is primer. I just looks as though someone went through a lot of trouble to put the front end back together. I was excited about the possibillty of getting another car which was located close and one that I would have expected to go for less than the high $17's. Next time..
idive	AC... how many miles are on this car? What I can't figure out is how both side's front suspension was ripped off in an accident, along with some other damages, prompting the vehicle to be totaled and given a salvage title, but not cause any frame damage. Maybe trees were spaced such that when they fell on the car, they only broke the control arms and pushrods in a downward motion, straddling the car as they fell? smells like a carp to me... Oh, and thanks for straightening out the first post... This message has been edited by idive on 04-26-2009 at 11:21 PM
ed monahan	A lot of rust indicating it may have been sitting outside in the weather for quite awhile. The rest of the car doesn't look bad at all.
Hot Prowl	I'd pay 18k if it came with front fenders... But seriously, interesting attempt at the upper & lower control arms. From the looks of it, they did a descent job. This message has been edited by Hot Prowl on 04-27-2009 at 01:32 AM
Kevin A	This may be the start of the first "rat rod" Prowler from the looks of it. I agree, the fab job doesn't look too bad in the pics.

alrtg	Looks like the wheels have a little curb rash, may need a front end alignment and some touch up paint.

cnote6	Look at the inside of the wheel in the first picture. Is that black road grime? Next if they were to powder coat the a arms silver it would look a little better.
City Sims	Dirty, Un-Kept and most likely in an accident.
ALLEY CAT	quote: Originally posted by City Sims: Dirty, Un-Kept and most likely in an accident. So true. Those are the ones the 'something for nothing' buyers are looking for. They get what they pay for........

Oh, and thanks for straightening out the first post... The probably did both sides so they would match.
George Johnson	Still had the POS Dynamic Shocks on the front.
WildCat	I started to have some steel chrome moly steel control arms made so they could easily be chromed. Would be light weight and strong. Got cold feet at liability so decided not to have them made. Whoever made these did as little as possible to build them in regards to appearance, but look like the work. ------------------ Larry & Sue Mayes
cnote6	OK was it relly cheaper to build them? Than buy some?
RICARDO JACKSON	Looks like rust
KOOLKAT	As high as the prices of Prowler body parts are. Does not take much for the insurance company to total a Prowler
phil2237	Sure looks like the owner found a solution for the Chrysler Balljoint problem.
ed monahan	I wonder if one side was wrecked but they replaced both sides so they would match and an uninformed buyer wouldn't realize it was a total patch job.
