The 1999 Plymouth Prowler Base is one of the most distinctive American sports cars ever built, instantly recognizable for its retro, open-wheel hot rod styling. Following a gap in production for the 1998 model year, the 1999 model brought a massive and much-needed mechanical upgrade: a more powerful aluminum engine that drastically improved its real-world performance.
