Currently on AutoHunter is this 2004 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Coupe. A product of Mercedes-Benz’s “merger of equals” with the Chrysler Corporation, the rear wheel-drive Crossfire was available for five model years, all based on the first-generation Mercedes SLK’s platform. The hand-me-downs helped give the Crossfire handling chops, but it likely was the styling that pulled enthusiast in. Looking like a cross (pun not intended) between a 1950s Chrysler-Ghia and a Talbot Lago, the Crossfire could be considered an American alternative to the revived Ford Thunderbird, though its main competition was closer to sporty coupes like the Infiniti G35. This Alabaster over Dark Slate Gray example is powered by a 3.2-liter V6 backed by a six-speed manual and comes from the selling dealer with a CARFAX report and clear title.
The Alabaster exterior features a ribbed hood, tapered boat tail, heated power-folding side mirrors, and front-fender air extractors. Staggered-width seven-spoke wheels (18 inches front, 19 inches rear) are wrapped in Continental Pro Contact radials (225/40 front, 255/35 rear).
The cabin is furnished with power and heated Dark Slate Gray leather buckets, with center console housing the manual shifter. Other features include power steering, manual telescopic steering column, cruise control, dual-zone climate control system, and factory stereo system with AM/FM and CD player.
The instrument panel consists of a 160-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the temperature and fuel. The odometer currently reads 121,615 miles, which is in line with the most recent CARFAX from November 2024.
The engine powering this retro-style coupe is a Mercedes 3.2-liter SOHC V6 putting out 215 horsepower. Its revs are controlled by a six-speed manual—out of 25,123 Crossfire Coupes in 2004, only 7,247 featured this transmission.
An Electronic Stability Program, in conjunction with four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, helps maximize traction and stability. The rear differential holds a 3.27 gear. A single exhaust system leads to twin tips that poke through the rear valance.
According to Hagerty, it sees signs of this retro sports coupe (and roadster, available for the 2005-2008 model years) heading towards collector status. This 2004 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe with a six-speed manual is a fine way to get in early on this collectible, so place your bid soon as the AutoHunter auction ends on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 11:45 a.m. (PDT).
