I agree. They were awesome looking cars but the performance sucked. Didn't they have like Renault or Citroen engines in them? Way underpowered. Them and the Prowler were 2 cars that should have been better but just missed the mark.

They used this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRV_engine

And it was not very good, nor powerful. The UK/EU version had an extra 20 hp or so.

The Prowler is actually an excellent store of value. They're worth about the same amount today as they were when they were new. They're worth even more if you have the matching trailer.

Yes, yes you could order them with a matching trailer. No, no I do not know why.

I also have no fucking clue why they're worth as much today as they were when they were new (less inflation). I do not find them visually appealing - but I do find them unique. If I got a REALLY GOOD deal, I'd put one in my collection - but it'd have to be immaculate and the thing has to come in at under 20k. 23k if it includes the trailer.

Anyhow, a small block Chevy engine would fit in there just fine. So, 7k for a tuned LS3 crate engine with a transmission for another 1k is a good start. Add another 3k for braking and then whatever it costs for a nicer set of wheels. Yeah, it seems perfectly doable.

That does sound like a lot of fun. I suppose you'd have your guys do the work. Do they still like working for you? Wait, that doesn't sound right. I mean do they they still feel like they've lucked into one of the best jobs on the planet? Moving into a remote place must have taken some getting used to, have they adjusted?

They had a VERY mild winter in which to adjust. So, they still like working for me very much. In hindsight, I probably could have offered them less money. That's okay and yes, they'll be doing the work. They love the exposure to new and awesome things that they get to deal with while working for me. They get to work on some of the greatest cars on the planet.

And, in the case of the DeLorean, it'd not be so much restomodding it, it'd be turning it into the car it should have been from the start. For the price I quoted, I can easily get 600 hp out of a crate engine. I might have to have the interior redone. Man, it's mostly plastic and cheap. I've been in one. At the end of the day, all I really care about is that the body remains stock.
