The following is a reprint from an article on MSN Carpoint about the demise of 10 cars this model year including the Prowler. Collectibility Can Depend on Volume Just because a car is wrapping up production doesn't mean it's going to be an instant—or future—classic. Jeffrey Broadus, publisher of the Titusville, Fla.-based Car Collector magazine, said a car that has been built in plentiful numbers over many years may not be rare enough to qualify. "What makes it a good collector car? Usually, they're limited-production cars . . . that would definitely favor the Prowler," he said. Chrysler spokesman Bryan Zvibleman said company officials "expect the Prowler to be an instant collector car." Just over 11,000 Prowlers were built in a five-year run, and of those, only 151 were sold in the Woodward Edition black/red two-tone paint scheme. But the most exclusive Prowler of all has to be the very last one produced. Built the day after Valentine's Day 2002, this most unique Prowler is the only one painted High-Voltage Blue and has signatures from Chrysler's Prowler team on its undercarriage. It came with a time capsule containing rare Prowler memorabilia and went to a bidder who paid $175,000 for it at a Christie's charity auction held in Manhattan in May. ------------------ |
