Based on a design penned by Chip Foose while studying at Art Center College of Design, the retro-styled, open-wheeled Prowler was built on a bonded aluminum chassis with a drivetrain sourced from the contemporary Chrysler LH sedan. Exterior features include front cycle fenders and a rear-hinged trunk housing the convertible top when stowed. The seller notes scrapes underneath the front the nose on this example, and a February 2003 damage entry on the Carfax report reportedly resulted from the deck lid being repainted due to a scratch.
