It's awesome to see some of the old ones like my 2001 I had from 9/2000 until 5/2015. The first few years had the rounded off everything. Ivan pls go check out the Pronto Cruzer 1998-9. Brian Nesbitt designed it before this 2001 PT for & the SSR pickup for Dodge in 2003. Chevy stole him away & their HHR was born. The '97-'98 Pronto was a really fugly little crossover, then Nesbitt came up w/ the 2 passenger slope back coupe w/ hot rod mirrors & a roofline that appeared to be chopped! It was in the Detroit '98 show on TV & is the one most of the first gen PT Cruiser fanatics, like myself, fell in with. I drove mine W to CA & E to TX & OK. The Dallas club had us on the Denton Dragstrip in TX in 2002, who cares who won. Several guys have dropped a HEMI's in them. For the ones like me that were in it before they even started doling them out, it was a solid 8 year run of car shows, cruises, a video Cat In A PT Cruiser (ShaNaNa filmed it during our PT Owners West Coast Convention 2006 in San Diego), shows worldwide, on the West Coast over to shows on the boards of Wildwood on the East Coast. 600 PT's up in Modesto, CA c. 2002 to party & enjoy seeing the others. What a strange trip it was! Enjoy your PT....mine got a 2nd owner & she loves it like I did.
So you gonna show what it can do on the track? My 2001 is also highly customized by the previous own. Not the engine but exterior and interior. Lots of after market chrome, even under the hood. Got it cheap after the last owner passed on and always wanted to get one when they were used and not much money. Plus I've wanted a manual shift for awhile to relive my past. Just a fun car for me. It win a number of trophies in car shows around Virginia and I have all of them, the parts that came off and a bunch of spare or custom parts he never got around to installing. Lots of custom LED lights under and throughout.
Any relation to Ira? You might want to invest some time into some interior detailing Potomac River Bridge. MD rt 17? Check Engine Light? IMO, the last owner fed you a bunch of major BS. 400+ HP? Is it the Hahn RaceCraft turbo? 16/20G setup? Nice PT. You should hold on to that one for sure. Don't mean to sound like i'm throwing the usual PT hate. I have a '03 GT sitting in my driveway :)
Looks like a 230-280hp gt to me with one external mod being grille swap & two underhood mods the blow off valve & the bar to both shocks to lesson body flex in the corners. Its paint does excenuate the panel shapes. I GOT A 2005 2.4 N/A VAN CONVERSION SHAVED DOOR HANDLES 19"LOW PRO WHEELS IT IS BLACK ON BLACK FULL LEATHER ELEC PWR MOVE + HEATED SEATS INC FOLD PASSENGER SEAT TWIN FOLD ARMRESTS PWR FOLD HEAT MIRRORS & FLOWMASTER SPORTS EXAUST REAR SPOILER& INSUDE HAS REAR DECKED & CARPETED INC LINED INSULATED + COVERED SIDE WALLS.
It's now for sale if anyone is interested. Yeah it is quite cool! Check out its German twin here! ruclips.net/video/Ijuoml0rIzE/видео.html Thanks for watching and commenting and please SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE my videos! Drivin' Ivan
@@drivinivan That's the factory 1st gen PT kit. Yes, kinda rare but not worth a bunch of coin. I had the 2nd gen kit but sold it before installing. I like yours better
233k miles on that. I got a 02 with 105k

LMFAO, not the engine.......
Once I get another one I plan on building it too
Seems like you found a very neat and unique example of these cars :)
A 4 banger with over 400 h.p. that's nuts
On a PT cruiser at that. Absurd

Check engine light is on
The side profile is awesome. The hood is a bit out of place. Nicest PT I've ever seen.

My friend has one that’s 460hp it’s heavily modified. It’s crazy, never thought a pt would be so fast haha
@@itzyota3560 yeah totally mines has 300 hp 380 trq I've seen some over 500 hp but not a n/a with just a bolt on turbo no way 🤣

When you drop the seats your pt loses 110lbs and you can go drifting
