Anyway in searching for a Prowler I came across this car in the town that I live in:

https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/plymouth/prowler/2191613.html

What is key here is that it is S/N 00005 with 4949 miles. It is owned by a Chrysler Executive but I have no idea who it is. The (negotiable) asking price is $40k which is really high I think compared to the asking price on another very low miles car. Of course other cars are not S/N 00005.

Does anyone know anything about this car?

I'm new here and considering the purchase of a prowler. Over many years I've had a number of Mopars dtarting with a 1951 Plymouth Business Coupe that I built into an E-Gas drag car up to the present 73 528 Hemi Cuda Resto-Mod car. I have always liked the Prowler and now may be the time for me to get one.

On to what I suspect is a sensitive topic. What is a reasonable selling price for a well cared for un-modified 2000 model year car with say 10k miles (yellow if it matters)? The only data I can see is the ebay "sold" listings where it seems like the cars go for low to mid 20's. Occasionally more and occasionally less. Asking prices seem to be upper 20's to mid 30's. Sometimes a whole lot more.

A couple of years ago I tried to get actual selling prices for a Lamborghini that I had to convince my insurance carrier of it's value. Got nothing but wildly varying opinions from on-line sources. I finally found a sales "facilitator" who had actual selling prices which he shared with my insurance company and that fixed my problem.

A little help here would be greatly appreciated.

If you find one that is unmodified, as mine was, you will still need to invest in improvements such as new tires and likely fixes to front and rear stabilizers, belts, and hoses, whose rubber parts will have deteriorated with age. The 2000 model is a good choice as it also had improvements with the suspension, a chrome shift bezel, and a digital display in the rearview mirror which can cycle through various info such as outside temperature and a compass. It also was the last full model year branded as Plymouth, if that matters to you. If you find a 2001, it could be branded as either Plymouth or Chrysler.

Good luck with your search!

Plymouth Prowler Trailer Upright Storage Stand

The Prowler Trailer Upright Storage Stand will now allow you to STORE YOUR PROWLER AND TRAILER IN ONE NORMAL PARKING SPACE IN YOUR GARAGE!!!!

One of the problems that I personally have encountered with my own trailer is the space required to store it. It takes a whole parking space in my garage, my Prowler takes the other, and my truck sits outside in the weather.

I've now designed a stand that I now feel is an excellent investment for anyone who owns a Prowler trailer. The FMB Prowler Trailer Upright Trailer
Storage Stand is a quality, first class, heavy duty, powder coated and packaged product that meets my finicky standards.

The FMB stand allows you to store your Prowler trailer in a floor space of only 31" x 70" and under 100" of ceiling height.
Your trailer can easily be stood upright by only one person using the FMB stand. The rollback tubes are easily removed for towing while the receiver brackets stay mounted on your trailer's axle flange, neatly hidden from vision when towing or showing your trailer.

When you are ready to stand your trailer upright, you just insert the tubes and tighten the thumbscrews. You're ready to tip your trailer upright. The FMB stands are easily installed and include DUAL SAFETY tip stops to prevent accidental tipping of the trailer.

Utilizing heavy duty construction and finished in semi gloss black powder coat, the stands are in stock and ready to ship. All hardware is included in the cost of $499.95 per stand, plus $30.00 shipping via FedEx.

On my personal trailer, while I was doing my prototype work, I shortened the draw bar by about 3" and re-drilled the holes to allow a little more ceiling clearance. My trailer now stands 97" when upright and I have noticed no difference while towing.

You can also cut a little off the rollback tubes to lower the height but be careful not to cut too much or your trailer will touch the floor while you tip it.
If you have an extremely low ceiling height: The total height required in the upright position with a full length draw bar is just under 100 inches.

The tongue however is easily removable and the body of the trailer alone will be about 60" tall. If you remove the tongue before standing the trailer upright, you will need to insert a short temporary piece of tubing to lift with. This will increase your leverage and will make it a 2 person job to stand the trailer upright. Normally this is not a big problem but you will need to be sure that you have someone to help or that you yourself are moderately strong.
