The brief but prolific partnership of the storied Chrysler and Daimler Benz companies produced some surprising platform sharing collaborations, which have gone overlooked and even forgotten. Some are better known, like the SUV chassis that produced both the Mercedes ML320 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, or the sedan platform that was the Mercedes E320, and the Chrysler 300, AND the Dodge Charger/Magnum twins. But one of the more interesting twins were the Mercedes SLK two seat convertible, and this Chrysler Crossfire. While not sold in big quantities, this Crossfire used the SLK chassis with the 3.2 liter Mercedes corporate V6, and built in Germany by the coachbuilder Karmann. Only 780 of these 2006 Crossfire Roadsters were made, and with the manual transmission, this is a truly low-production car in excellent condition.

The exterior of this Crossfire is in excellent condition. The finish is glossy, with consistent color across all panels, which have even gaps. The front of the Crossfire is clean, with a glossy chrome grill with no chips or pitting from road debris. Headlight lenses are clear, with no haze or cloudiness, and the bumper is free from contact damage or scuffs. Out back, the trunk is accentuated by an electronic spoiler that rises with speed, functioning correctly. Taillight lenses and trim are all clean and clear, and the bumper is clean and free from nicks or cuts.

Up top, the black cloth convertible is n perfect condition, with no color fade and tautly stretched across the frame with no wrinkles or flaws in the fabric. The Crossfire rides on the factory wheel setup, made of aluminum alloy in 18” size, with BF Goodrich tires in very good condition.

The black interior continues the excellent care. The black cloth seats are clean, with some evidence of wrinkling on the driver outside bolster, but otherwise free from wear or fade. Touch points like the steering wheel and shifter are clean, with no visible wear or deterioration. Many of the interior controls are a brushed aluminum look, but are free from scratches or wear, except for some minor degradation of the black lettering above the volume knob.

The 3.2 liter V6 and six-speed manual transmission is a Mercedes-sourced drivetrain. in excellent operating condition. The engine bay is clean, and all auxiliary systems and parts are in like-new condition. Underneath, the chassis shows very little evidence of use. There is mild surface corrosion on some bare metal parts, and a light dusting of road grime, but mostly the undercarriage looks spotless, and definitely free from damage or decay.
