Sport Truck: What vehicle would you build if given unlimited money?
Foose: At the time when I was working for Boyd, I tried to build something with a European flavor. I would build something with a Mercedes or Bugatti influence. A design like that would be like my "Hemisphere" design that I came up with in 1990, when I was at Art Center. It was a rendition of the modern early '30s coupe with a fast-back, and when you looked through the back glass, you would see a 426 Hemi with a Pantera trans axle. When I drew it at Art Center, one of its renderings went to Chrysler and was developed into the Prowler. But, I always wanted to build my coupe version of it. Now, RC2 (Racing Champions/Ertl) is now helping me fund the build of the car as a cross-promotional vehicle. It should be done and debuted at the '06 SEMA Show along with RC2's die-cast version of it.
i just found this, your right. it was an interview with foose and sport truck. i also read in some other site regarding the prowler..chryler stopped production on the prowler in 2002 in oaklahoma and is going to be reproduced in like 2048 as daimler/chrysler.
heres that clip off that
website:The Prowler was first introduced as a 1997 model, offered only in purple the first year. There was no 1998 model. After the Plymouth marque was discontinued in 2001, the Prowler was sold as a Chrysler until 2002. The model was replaced by the Chrysler Crossfire for 2004. In 1998, a Prowler prototype was buried in a time capsule in Tulsa, Oklahoma to be unearthed in 2048, whereupon it will be returned to DaimlerChrysler.
