That is indeed the same one. It started as a Yellow and has had 6 owners. The chrome illusion is now called "flip/flop" paint. lol |

Very nice car. I used the chrome illusion paint on part of my PT Cruiser. Always got lots of attention. I am surprised that it isn't used more often; I guess because it was so expensive. |

John & Debbie Ross' Chromealusion Prowler http://www.prowleronline.com/scrapbook/newscrapview.php?id=37 John had it painted twice,,,,since the rocks ate up the first painting....they lived on a gravel road Believe John told me that the paint cost $800 pint....plus the labor to shoot it. Won Best in Show during the PHX GoodGuys national car show meet in 2000 Notice all of the color changes the cat goes through as the camera angle and light hit the finish. While in the metro PHX area after its paint job was finished, this cat got lots of ATTENTION! This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 07-25-2015 at 09:45 PM |

That is a true custom paint job.  |

It is in fact an awesome paint job but does it make the car worth 50K. Not in my opinion. Just saying. |

Back in 1999/2000,,,I can't imagine the amount of dollars John had put into that car....probably after paying a big premium just to buy it 'new' back in the early days of trying to get a Prowler. |

Pretty sure I saw that car on Woodward today at a light. We were walking so I could not get close. But if it was not it, it sure had the identical paint scheme, but with a brownish nose. But from what I remember about the car it all depended on what angle you looked at it to determine the color. So I am pretty sure that was it. |

"But from what I remember about the car it all depended on what angle you looked at it to determine the color." True,,,,Depending on the sunlight and from which angle one is looking at that cat, it changes colors quite often.....Due to cost of paint, one of a kind. Thanks for the report....how is the weather today? |

This car now has a new home, well eventually. Wally was nice enough to help me out with the purchase. It's being stored until the FL Keys cruise, then Amanda and I are going to fly down, enjoy ourselves and time spent with the FL prowler owners (and Monahan too), and then drive it back up north. Anyone have John Ross' contact info? I have a few questions I'd like to ask him... |

Thanks for the offer Rich, but I think Amanda and I are going to have to take the direct route home as she needs to be back for school Tuesday morning. I'm waiting for you to pull together a route66 trip for next summer. (hint,hint) |

We're going to pick it up tomorrow and store it for Steve until the Keys adventure. The car looks great, hardtop and all. Wally |
