They reset the production level to 80,000 from what I heard. Since then, there's a lot that's happened to Chrysler, and with all the things that have happened with the Crossfire line like re-stickering 07s as 08s and all that, I wouldn't doubt that less than the reset goal was produced. Not to mention that someone on here mentioned that Karmann declared bankruptcy recently. I don't know if that's true or not, but I have found a lot of straightforward info on here.

 

I don't think that's correct....VQ35DE (Brad), explained it to me...:

Look on the driver's door.....you will see 2 numbers....on Wilma for instance (VIN # 76,028) you see mfg = 12/07 & further down you see something that says = MDH (stands for month-date-hour) ...(in Wilma's case) MDH = 121108.....so, this means Wilma was buildt on 12/11/07 at 08:00 in the morning. Since production ended on 12/17/08....your VIN # must have been buildt several months earlier than that......LOOK ON THE DOOR.

 

Chris is correct. My vin is #75112 and my MDH# is 101608. So it was finished on October 16th at 08:00 AM (in 2007) . His had to be built before mine.

 

An issue for physicists perhaps, as it appears Pebbles was born before Wilma??

 

I always knew them Flintstones were on drugs ! How else could you be born before your mom ?

 

What makes that crossfire worth 1M?

 

There is $995,000 cash in the trunk.

 

Let me guess. The Feds confiscated it for running cocaine, then auctioned it and never checked the trunk, right ?

 

The VIN denotes the model year as recorded. The year it was assembled is recorded on the door plates. If they were washed to indicate something else, who cares? Really, if the record is the record, why perpetuate some sinister history? To get the computer printouts that show the sequential VIN numbers and the assembly milestones out in the public, would take an inside job OR a hack of their records. Keep the stories going though, it is funny to see where they wind up.

I realize this is an old thread, but I didn't see many production number threads to post in. I've seen a few high level charts floating around the web that are pretty accurate, but thought I would throw my research into the mix. My overall total is 6 VINs stronger than other totals that I have seen around. (All six narrowed to 2005) My VINs have been vetted and are valid built and sold vehicles. I even broke out the SE's for those that are interested. Even though the 2004s didn't have different trim levels I categorized them as LIMITED as they are close to the 2005 Limited configuration.

If there is decent interest in a COLOR and/or TRANSMISSION chart, I would consider pulling these together to share.

For those who don't know of my work, GOOGLE "PLMCRZY production numbers" and click on the images tab to see some of my work.

2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire global production numbers

 

If this is indeed your first post on the forum, I have to say it is one heck of a first post !
You are most welcome to the forum !
What other jewels of wisdom might you have ?

 

Very Interesting Research!

 

Yes, that was my first post on this forum. I've set the bar high I guess.
I'll try not to disappoint going forward.

Any interest in COLOR and/or TRANSMISSION numbers? Is this the best thread to post production info in?

-=PLMCRZY=-

 

Welcome to the forum. Nice work!

 

How do the lists compare?
The only error I spotted is in the 2004 year, they were not called Crossfire Limiteds, just Crossfire

 

I modified my chart and removed the trim designation for the 2004s. I wasn't sure how the Crossfire community wanted to bucket the 2004s, now I know.

OK, I just added the Trim/Transmission breakout chart link to my original post. Enjoy!

His list shows 6 more cars produced in 2005.

 

The updated chart is pretty slick! Thanks!

 

The new chart and replies actually warrants a new thread.
Fabulous list here, what is it based on? Official Chrysler figures? Maybe your avatar name should be Deep Throat.
The Base Crossfire, was a separate model and no Base Crossfires were made in 2004 at all, at least for the 2004 model year.
The Base model was a cheapened down version of the Crossfire Limited, using cloth seats and lacking other standard features of the Limited. etc.
Likewise the SE was cheaper version of the Crossfire Roadster.
The 2004 Crossfire had an auto dimming rear view mirror, the only year officially to have that feature. They were also wired for the Navigation Radio among other things.

In the past members have asked about the number of Cars made with the colors available that year.

One other point, the list says Global production, as they were all made at the same Karmann plant in Germany I do not think Global comes into it, it is not like a Ford runabout as they could be mde in a few plants worldwide.
