Edit
These are the official numbers from Chrysler, see post #5 for the explanation.

 

As always 180,,, our thanks.

 

Interesting thing is that the VINs are sequential through the production run so if the last five of the VIN is 74500 or more you can be pretty sure it is an '08. Think this is the first car I've seen like that, usually they reset the s/ns for each model year.

 

If you trust Wikipedia....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Crossfire

 

Forum member (and Chrysler employee) htimothyh got house approval to release those production numbers from the Corporate database last Fall. Looks like Wikipedia "borrowed" the same numbers, but at least they reference the source.

Tim also has the discriminating good taste to drive a silver roadster.

 

One of 826, WHOOOOHOOOOO

 

Got to save this info...

 

very interesting i get asked all the time how many xfires where made and now i know is there a way we can tell from our VIN#'s in what order our xfires where made and where they came from?

 

Double post.

 

#000002 followed #000001, #000003 followed #000002 etc.
Made in Osnabrueck, Germany.

It is so that for all Crossfire cars the last digits of the VIN tell the sequence they were built in the assembly plant. At least where the car was when the VIN was assigned to it, which could be quite different from when it finished assembly.

This is emphatically not so for other Chrysler produced vehicles. The domestic Chrysler process would assign a VIN to a car when the order was accepted into the production process, which might be weeks to months before the vehicle started through the assembly plant, for all sorts of practical or trivial reasons. In a Chrysler assembly plant it would be quite unusual to find even two vehicles on the line with sequential VINs, unless they were part of some special batch fleet build.

 

Thanks for posting this. If only there was further break down by color some of the Brits or Aussies may have real bragging rights for the rarest RHD vehicle produced!!
