Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

We own an '05 Crossfire roadster, an '05 Dodge Magnum SXT and a '92 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo. Love each and every one of them too!

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

XF Coupe, Sebring Convertible, and Pacifica - all '04's.

XF, Grand Cherokee Laredo (my 5th), Jeep Liberty.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Certainly a valid point, the old days of quintessential American built cars is pretty much dead regardless of which particular 4 wheeler you are referring to, even more so true with the Crossfire perhaps.

As for my home, I have 3 (soon to be 4 when I buy a xf) I've got a '05 Durango limited Hemi, an '03 Quad cab 1500 4x4 hemi and a '68 Plymouth Barracuda bored 340.

The '04 Crossfire, a 1996 Viper GTS, my 1969 AMX, and a 1968 AMX (that needs restored).
OK, I know they didn't start out being Mopars, but Chrysler purchased AMC 20 years ago, so technically, that makes em Mopars now. ;)

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

A 1996 Dodge Ram Sport w/200k on the odometer. Still running strong. Hope my crossfire is as trouble free as the Ram has been.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

My XFire & a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Calling the crossfire a Mopar car is like calling the new Jags, Fords! Shouldn't be done!! The only thing ford in the Jags is the money invested, and vice-versa with the XF. My $.02

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

IMHO, like it or not, your Crossfire is labeled a CHYRSLER!. A Jaguar is labeled as a Jaguar, even though Jaguar is owned by Ford. I have owned two Jaguars, and in no way, shape, or form do they resemble a Ford (thank God).

Yes, my Crossfire was purchased from a Chrysler dealer as a new car made by Chrysler, but I know that it had the sheet with it that says it has 89% German content, was built by Karmann in Germany, has mostly Mercedes parts, design, and heritage from a SLK 320, and the car itself knows that it is basically a Mercedes with a different label on it and is very happy with it (I can tell that by the way she likes to drive, perform, and makes me smile like a maniac when I drive it :D).

I don't give a damn that it says Chrysler. I am just ecstatic that I am lucky enough to own and enjoy one. :cool:

Yeah. I give. I also agree. :p

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

From the purist MOPAR perspective, IMO - NO. The Crossfire is basically a MB in new clothes, with none, or very few MOPAR Parts. My definition of MOPAR is that which is historically accepted to be CHRYSLER associated, not having ANY association with MB. :rolleyes:

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

As a true old school "Mopar" guy, (I was a Mopar guy when Mopars were not considered cool) only cars from the 70's back are considered "Mopars" Even the Turbo 2.2 era cars are not truly considered by the hardcore. No way on the crossfire/Jeeps/AMCs etc. That being said I am looking to purchase a SRT-6 roadster for my wife to join my Charger SRT-8, SRT-4 ACR autocross car, 53' Plymouth Wagon (Hot rodded flat head 6), 50' Chrysler custom (440 OD auto 4WDB), 98' Jeep Wrangler(Rock Crawler), 98' Grand Cherokee 5.9, 99' Ram 2500 (V10 Baby), 69' Dart Swinger 340, 69' 440+6 4 Spd Superbee. The Crossfire will fill the place vacated by my recently sold Petty Blue 440 +6 4 Spd Superbird.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Yes, but at least some Jaguars were built with Ford engines. ;)

Personally I think this "Crossfire really a Mopar?" question, is purely academic.
The way I see it, they let us into the Mopar Nationals, so I guess that means that somebody, somewhere, or the "powers that be" must consider it a Mopar. So I'm not going to argue with them. :)

Mopar (like FoMoCo for Ford, or GM for General Motors) is just the name that appears on a box, when ever you order a part from your dealers parts dept. Just to show it's a genuine "factory built part". Somewhere down the line it became synonymous with all that is Chrysler. Whether you're talkin Plymouth, Dodge, Desoto, Chrysler, or even Chrysler Marine.
Now I think the question that would be more apropos, is whether or not any actual "replacement" parts that you may order for your Crossfire ever come in a "Genuine Mopar" box.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Sorta interesting how many Crossfires are sitting next to Jeeps in the garage! ;)

Opposites attract maybe ? :rolleyes:

Or one for bad weather one for fair... :cool:

Cheers,
Slim

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Mopar fan as well.

I have my '05 Crossfire limited Aeroblue roadster.

And a '04 yellow Neon SRT-4.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Right now I have an SRT-8 (look at the video on my sig link to see how well it does on the track) and I just bought a brand new 2005 XF. Yep, brand new.

So you know, if you're looking for a new XF...DCX warehoused 2006 XFs because dealers would not take them. Too expensive for them to inventory. Right now DCX is auctioning them off to 5 star dealers only. You can score SRT-6s, Ltds and base models in the mid to low $20s.

For the money this is a GREAT car! Solid and fun to drive! Love this forum too. I've already killed my ESP and seatbelt chime.

Thank you all for contributing your experiences!

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

i just traded in the '04 srt4 on a srt6 but still have the '91 twin turbo stealth and the '86 glh turbo omni in the driveway.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

They (AMCs) were made in Kenosha, Wisc; where I was born & raised (over 1/2 the people in town, worked their). ;) We called them Kenosha Kadillacs :) (Not Mopars, that was after I went into the Marines).

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Just smart people with great vehicles. ;)

SlimDitto, I've just bought 3 days ago, Jeep #6 & I'm picking up Crossfire #2 this week.;)

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

2005 300C named Clyde. Nice car but too many minor issues. I have about nine warranty problems in 2 1/2 years. It is for sale soon.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

Hey did you mange to get over to CJspecial's shop so they can fab up those headers?

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

in my case...two for bad weather. a '99 Wrangler Sport and an '87 J20 pickup.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

'00 Jeep Wrangler

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

I too have a 69' dodge coronet 440 (stroked 500) six pack 4 speed as well. :D :D :D

Actually it's engineless right now. Engine is in the shop as we speak. Glad to see a true fellow moparhead in the forum. ;)

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

I've also got a 2004 PT Cruiser Turbo. Same engine as the Neon SRT4 and I've added the Stage 1 upgrade, cat back dual exhaust, and a few other bits. Even in the blistering heat and gale force headwinds usually encountered at the California Speedway dragstrip it's run 14.4 @ 94 mph in the 1/4 mile. I haven't had a single issue with it either.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

The other car is a '91 Dodge Spirit R/T.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

well, back to the...

Jag is Ford
XF is Benz

Stealth RT Twin Turbo is a Mitsubishi 3000GT or GTO if you JDM nut huggers prefer.

Basically, if the has a name on it, that's what it is.

And for the record, I gave up another Mopar to get this one, but I have no others right now. I have the SRT-6, '06 S2000 and an '04 Grand Marguis (inherited).

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

new to this forum...needed tires for the crossfire ... came to this site for help... other cars 2007 charger sxt and a 1970 cuda 340.

Re: Other than X-Fire, any other Mopars in your Garage ?
 

You guys and your semantics...

If you really want to get into it:

The same company that made our Crossfires also made tanks for the Germans in WWII.

Mitsubishi built the Zero's that attacked pearl harbor.

IMO, if it says Chrysler it's a Chrysler!

Oh Yea...I almost forgot why I was on this thread...I also own a '86 Dakota (first year) in pristine condition, and a '60 DeSoto Adventurer (pulled the original 383 for a 413 longhorn cross-ram).

And I DO consider my DeSoto a chrysler product! (need proof...look at the same year Chrysler 300)!
