How do you tell the difference between the Plymouth prowler and the Chrysler prowler in the years that both were made, besides the badging?? Are the paint codes the same or different, is the Plymouth silver the same silver as the Chrysler silver?? Y2K Kat Todd |

Everything is basically the same. Some of the rear bumpers say Plymouth on them and the Chryslers were supposedly plain but I think there are some that have Plymouth bumpers and Chrysler hood badges. The paint codes and every other part should be exactly the same. This message has been edited by ed monahan on 10-24-2007 at 11:28 PM |

I remember reading somewhere that 2001 model year Prowlers built BEFORE 01 January 2001 are Plymouths and those built after are Chryslers. This message has been edited by hotroddaddy on 10-25-2007 at 12:31 AM |

The only model year color that was split was 2001 Orange. Those built prior to Jan. 1, 2001 were Plymouth's (some 650 +, check the Prowler Story for exact count) and there was an additional run of Orange in Mar. and Apr. of 01 that were Chrysler badged with a smooth left rear bumper. (again check the numbers but believe there were over 300 of these produced) Color code is the same. I think I heard that there are actually 2 different Yellow codes, but I have not had any reason to confirm. Mopar Parts could tell us for sure. |

We have one of each both 2001. It's easy the Plymouth is orange and the Chrysler is pink. I think there is a letter designation in the vin number. Other than that Ed is right, the left rear bumper is blank. Oh yes, the hood badge is different. |

The whole reason why there is a CHRYSLER Prowler is that, if you recall, the Plymouth Brand was retired by Chrysler at the end of 2000. With the end of that era of Plymouth brand named vehicles, while DCX basically stopped all of the other vehicle versions of shared models being produced (Neon / Voyager mini van / Breeze) it wanted to continue the Prowler, but decided that it still wanted to drop the Plymouth name, and so they slapped a Chrysler badge on the hood and eliminated the name Plymouth from the left rear bumper. Otherwise it is the same car. This message has been edited by prowlrman on 10-25-2007 at 08:32 AM |

I stand corrected, there were Silver Ply. & Chrysler in 2001. Pilots (I call them mules) were cars removed from the mainstream for Corporate use. Usually something new being tried or experimented with . Believe there were 5 Black Tie "Pilots" of which DQ man ended up with one. The white "Ghost" Prowler at the 10th anniversary being driven by Jerry is a Pilot. Understand they sometimes would add items to it as a test bed, ie: 6 speed auto-trans, etc. etc., but it is filthy for a Prowler!!!!

Most of the Pilot cars were crushed. Rumor has it that the white Prowler is destined to meet the crusher. I hope not. |

It would be a shame to hear that "I Scream" was crushed. It has attended so many events. I guess we should be glad that it has survived this long. |

So correct me if Im wrong there were only 488 prowlers made for Canada and in 2000 there were only 55 and of that 55 38 were Silver which I have one. now my question to you fell's out there with all the knowledge how do I find out what number of 38 do I own. I would really like to know so when Im asked about my Rare car i can say with certainty that my Canadian Silver was # such and such out of 38 and out of 55 total for that year and out of 488 total ever built for Canadian roads for the year 2000 |

It is nearly impossible to figure that out since the Prowlers and Vipers shared the same sequence of numbers. In other word, 000001 and 000002 may have been Prowlers and then 000003 may have been a Viper followed by 2 or 3 more Prowlers or Vipers. Those numbers probably are known by someone but so far no one has come up with the answers, although folks swear they know their number. You can look on the door and see what day and hour it started down the assembly line. |

quote: By "badging", I assume you mean the emblem on the front? (The prowler emblems are body-color, the Chryslers are all black). As far as paint codes, they're all the same across all years. The 3 yellows are all the same. The two-tones are the same as the solids (red/black and silver/black use prowler red, black and silver). -GRROWL |

You can check the "sequence" number on the piece of paper just under the left hood hinge. This was a sequence number issued to each car as it started on the line. I had an Orange Plymouth, built on Dec. 18, 2000 and carried sequence # 8478 with the Ply. rear bumper. Now the stats show there were not that many Plymouth's produced, but with "Pilots" there were. I would presume those "last" Plymouth's, built after Dec. 18 would have the higher sequence # on the paper tag. I saw the "last" Ply. noted here that someone owned, was it Mike K? Wonder what sequence # it has? |

That paper on our Kat is completely faded / washed out. Looks like a blank piece of paper now. I guess its ma be from too many car shows and cruise nights with the hood up all the time. |
