2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT 6 SRT6 Roadster Convertible Blue & Ride My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

The original Crossfire showcar had a unique engine. The V6 was melded with another to create a 12 cylinder with the hood being almost twice as long. A real beauty in my book Lou.

I was telling the dealers back in 2005 that these would be classics! Now here we are.

I have never seen this car before. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing Lou!

Hi all. Thanks for the SRT Crossfire love. These are undervalued right now. So buy them while you can! Like a lot of cars we like, there will be a day when these hit the spotlight. There were not many made so the lack of familiarity with the public could be a reason its hiding in the shadows.

I've never seen one of them cars in my life Lou how do you find these cars that thing is a beautiful little baby

The Chrysler Crossfire was either a hate ‘em or a love ‘em kind of car. Most were 4 cylinders but the SRT’s were more desirable. The 4 cylinders were of course more affordable. The Crossfire was designed by Mercedes-Benz based on the Mercedes SLK roadster. I drove a few of the Crossfires and the seating positions always seemed to be a bit awkward. However, I did manage to acquire a 2012 SLK350 (a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6) and the seating positions were just the same. But it is so much fun to drive. Thanks Lou for great presentation!

I've always admired the Crossfire. Their styling truly was unique & they were quite the performance treats in their day, too. Lee has a great one here and the fantastic AZ weather probably allows him to enjoy it regularly. Thanks, Lou!

For the last 3 years I've owned a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Roadster I purchased with 33K on the odometer. In that time I've tacked on another 7K miles. I have compiled the following production numbers for the *Roadster* (sorry, but I was just never interested in the coupe!). *These are the sales figures for The United States of America ONLY!!!* Note that the Crossfire was sold in 3 different trim levels: 1) *Base* - normally aspirated with a cloth interior and a black windshield surround (the easiest identifiers) 2) *Limited* - normally aspirated with a leather interior and a silver windshield surround & 7-spoke wheels (the easiest identifiers) 3) *SRT-6* - supercharged with a fixed-position "whale-tail" trunk spoiler & 15-spoke wheels (the easiest identifiers) Here are the USA roadster sales *separated by SRT-6 and Limited trim-level.* The Base trim-level cars only came in 2 colors, which I've simply listed separately beside their 'Limited' counterparts and included within the total cars sold. Crossfire SRT-6 Roadster (USA sales) 1043 Total sold (in USA) 361 Black 257 Silver Blue 228 Aero Blue 194 Graphite 2 Alabaster 1 Machine Gray Crossfire Limited Roadster (USA sales) 17970 Total sold (in USA) 3386 Black (plus 1938 Base) 3158 Inferno Red (plus 1107 Base) 2612 Aero Blue 2474 Silver Blue 2150 Alabaster 1808 Yellow 1346 Graphite 447 Machine Gray 327 Bright Silver 262 Oyster Gold

Very nice Crossfire. Although the Daimler-Chrysler experiment was short lived, a few interesting cars were developed. The Crossfire and 300 most notably. Thanks for bringing this car story to us Lou.

Nice looking and sounding vehicle. Good video as usual. thanks

A friends wife had an SRT6, he'd get in trouble for taking it out but in his defense she wouldn't let him drive it. Lol. Another nice car and great video! Thanks for what you do Lou 👍👍😁

Hi Lou! Thank you for another great video! I feel like I am in auto school when watching your videos! Very nice blue Crossfire. It's a very good color especially when you live in AZ. When you see a car like this on the road, it's like taking a deep breath of fresh and cool air in the middle of the heat. LOL! :)

A very interesting and unique car. I never knew that an SRT variant was offered, now I know. Ya learn so much from watching My Car Story!!! Cool car!!!

Interesting car,Lou! Thanks! A friend of mine has a regular (non rare) Crossfire, he drives it to work everyday,its red

I had a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire coupe. Mine was graphite in color. These cars are so awesome so fast and just well made cars from abroad. I did not have the SRT version but hey mine still would move. I see this video and so reminds me of mine that I had. When you got a Crossfire new you also got a five piece Crossfire luggage pack too. I still have mine never used and still in the box.I do not have my Crossfire anymore but I did keep the luggage as it is still in it's original box and packing. These cars to me were so not understood they just did take off like they thought as that was Chrysler's flag ship car at that time. Plus the resale value on them is just horrible. Maybe it is better now I don't know but these cars are so great I loved everything about mine! Thanks for sharing Lou and the owner as well!

Hi, Lou! Here we have a modern classic that someone is learning to appreciate now. The union of Daimler and Chrysler was generally not a happy one but in this case they cooked up a real treat together, and it looks like you and Lee have had a great time with it. Wouldn't mind being caught in this Crossfire! LOL! The Dodge Magnum was another one, and it too is sure to become collectible, if it isn't already! Good stuff, Lou, just like you said!

A product that never really took off, some nice detailing, but only a 2 place vehicle, BMW sold a similar car the 135i, which was a 4 seater, with more room and a turbo inline 6 both were small, lightweight and sporty although probably the BMW is more sought after now, particularly the M versions!

Never seen this amazing car before👍👍

GREETINGS. From Venezuela, > . . >. .

I still see a blue Crossfire, as well as a yellow one, in the city where I live. The Crossfire's styling still looks good! Thanks Lou, and thank you Lee!

5:24 The Mercedes M112 V6 (which this engine is) has 3 valves per cylinder (2 intake 1 exhaust) for a total of 18 valves.

I’m live in Illinois and I have the same exact vehicle…color, trim, and all. I wish I had a nice place to cruise in my SRT6 like Lee. Maybe someday…

Lou, this is one of the VERY FEW cars i can live with, love the 2 seaters, especially the older MG's and Triumphs! maybe we get a few of them on one day too! thanx!

I don't care much for that car , I thought Lou was int the older cars that was only a guess , love the channel , no hard feelings

MB SLK and Chrysler Crossfire share the same platform and engines. It was the time when the company was called Daimler/Chrysler

Hardtops are nicer. Roofline to bumper is the best part. In Phx I see more convertible Crossfires tho. A hardtop in silver ice, ooooh baby. A tidbit you missed, 18s in front, 19s in back.

Love this crossfire! SRT is the way to go and 350 hp would motivate it quite nicely I would imagine. Rare find. Appreciate the vid Lou thanks.

I always thought that the lines running down the hood were so cool! ✌

Saw a few of those in Houston

Lou that car is so outrageous I'm man I bet the value that thing is high that's a highly collector car

Almost ALL SRT-6's were produced in 2005. In 2006 they were only made *to order.*

Nice and cool car with an impressive power. Nice drive. Anyway. I like more the predecessor - Prowler. Incredibly sexy car and only production hot rod.

Lou, I sent a potential subscriber your way about a week ago… She had this car in this color except it was a 2006 in the western suburbs… You might see it from time to time… I told her to take a look at this video… She had a convertible. I wrote down your name and the word RU-vid… I did it for her… Not for you… Just kidding… Symbiosis my friend. Her car had 32,000 miles on it. It was a beauty.

Not my style but still a cool little car. I can appreciate all makes and models. I learned something new today in the fact that Mercedes AMG was involved in this one. I bet it's a blast to spool up the supercharger. Looks like it would be a fun car to run around in. Just because it's not my taste doesn't mean I don't think it's a neat, fun car. Thanks for sharing Lou. Take care.

Sweet little car, these are starting to be a collector's item, better buy one now before they get really expensive. You should do a car story on your viper.

This is a very interesting car. I ❤the color too. It's too bad these beauties didn't have a longer production run

Gotta give Chrysler credit somewhat recently. They produced unique cars starting with the Maserati TC coupe. They were definitely willing to be daring.

love that blue! fun little car took it thru it's paces at the srttrackexperience, not as awesome as the SRT8's but still a fun 2-seater in its own right

Interesting. I didn't know Chrysler had it in them.

Regarding power output of that engine... SRT-6 models were equipped with a detuned version of the SLK 32 AMG engine, the former was listed at 335 PS, the latter at 354 PS.

my soninlaw has one of those pretty neat little cars they are getting pretty expensive for a good one

Another Honey!

A lady I knew had one of those cars. Her's was a bronze color.

Very very nice car. Very German.

You do the 2008 Chevy impala SS

There was a time Chrysler would come out with vehicles left and right. PT cruiser, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee and minivans and then challengers and 300s and viper and prowler. Now when was last time we got a new vehicle from whatever Chrysler company name is? They don’t even have a mid size truck unless you think that ugly wrangler truck is considered new).

guess you forgot fords super coupe v6 w/supercharger?

V8 please 🚙🔥🔥💨💨💨
