BeWare	If this is a real Black Tie Prowler then somone really up by removing the original pin stripe. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-Plymouth-Prowler-Convertible-Rare-Black-Tie-Edition-98-162-/171025207167?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item27d1e58f7f
beachcat	Is it possible the guy went over top of the original pinstriping with a red one? 2 questions 1. Does the blacktie pinstriping normally go right around the back of the truk lid? 2. Is the blacktie firewall normally black or silver? This one is black.

Mismatched tires would be a problem if I were the buyer. Description says the front tires are run flats, I don't believe they are.

beachcat	do you want to tell Gort or should I?

beachcat	12 were produced for Canada, not in Canada. Pretty sure they were all made at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan and they were all pinstriped in the same facility. From what I read, he took 45 minutes to do one car and he would do 10 a day. Of course I could be wrong and have been in the past.
BeWare	All Prowlers were built at the Conner Ave Assembly Plant in MI.
derosaj	It looks like someone put a red pin stripe under the gray one put on at the factory by DR. RU. On this car it should say #62 and sighed by DR Ru in the middle of the trunk in the gray pin stripe. Very small and hard to see. This number is registered for this Prowler and should be there. All WOODWARD and BLACK TIES were numbered and signed by DR. RU at the factory

Sorry bout that.
beachcat	quote: Originally posted by Gort: Canadian produced That seems a little misleading..smile.. Sorry bout that. Yes I was surprised to see that mistake when I went to the site. I guess it's short for "produced for Canada".
DIXIE Cat	Link below where a Prowler described as a "Tuxedo Edition" was for sale in 2010. http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/007774.html http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/003435.html
ed monahan	It has been eBay for a week or so. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Plymouth-Prowler-Tuxedo-Editi-2001-Plymouth-Prowler-Convertible-Rare-Black-Tie-Edition-98-of-162-/171025207167?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item27d1e58f7f
catfish	the stripe on lid is supposed to go all the way around,and the clearcoat on h/lites is bad. ------------------
JeraneW	Firewall on a Black Tie is silver. The pinstripe is not correct and should go all around the trunk. As mentioned previously, DR Ru signed all Black Ties but not necessarily in order of production. I purchased mine new; #146.
RichO	Yeah, agree w/Jerry. Everything x the stripe is right -- year, VIN, date, firewall color. Here's my guess. With 44K+, the driver was probably rear-ended. It's a constant fear of mine - even thought of getting a dupe lid and saving the orig in garage. Tht destroyed his Dr. Ru sig, so he did the red under the white. Somebody had to know the Dr. Ru # so it was there at some point. My take - 27K is low cause the pix show great condition otherwise. The hi mileage is prob why.
beachcat	Rich, the firewall appears to be black in this car.
ed monahan	The link I posted says it is a TUXEDO edition. I sent him an email last week.
RichO	Rog, think it's the lighting. Check the driver side contrast between the plenum top and the firewall. Definitely some difference;
tangled up in BLUE	...I like the additional red striping
beachcat	scratch that,,,, I think you're right Rich. This message has been edited by beachcat on 04-26-2013 at 10:06 PM
EssexExport	Makes you wonder.
idive	Silver firewall
