1997 Purple Prowler, 900 miles in Parkersburg, WV!

[GoofyTimL]

Stopped by to see my buddy and car salesman today just to say "Hey!" and had he seen the Super Bee SRT8 that was across the street at the Dodge dealer (see my other thread on that subject).

Anyway, he was not in his office (which is connected to their prep garage). So I walked back there 'cause I could hear his voice. He and another guy were talking inside a Jeep about the NAV system is had. But what did my wondering (wandering) eyes spy out...

A beautiful purple, 1997 Prowler sitting in one of the bays. MAN!!! I wish I had my digital camera!

So I asked him about it. I was wondering who, in their right mind, would trade a car like that for ANYTHING they might have on the lot. He said it wasn't a trade, they had bought it from a woman up on Ohio who didn't want it any more.

And get this... it only has 900 miles on the odo! WHAT!!!!!!

He said they will sell it for $46k or there abouts. I have no idea whether that's good or not, but it sure looked SWEET!

So if anyone wants a mint Prowler with extremely low miles... give Buck Johnson a call at Kincheloe Motors in Parkersburg, WV!

They are SLOW!!! They have a 3.5L V6 that puts out 253hp and 255lb-ft of torque. They were really under powered.

CHromer's got a yellow one I think... was kind of hoping to hear from him with respect to the suggested price and speed. I did figure they were a bit underpowered however.

No... am not considering for my stable... but you're right... they definitely have a "look" about 'em.

0-60 in 6 seconds is not all that slow
