Does anyone know how many Crossfire roadsters were made. Total amount? Thanks Patty

 

That's a good question. Actually I think it would be great if a German forum member (who speaks the language) could establish some sort of "liaison" person at the Karmann factory to get all the facts, stories, production #'s, "inside gossip" etc. pertaining to the Crossfire.
This information would be invaluable to collectors in the years to come.

 

One of our members is already doing that to the best of his ability, I believe it was SRT6. Here are a few threads that might help.

Maybe I'll contact them with this question under the XFi member letterhead. If you post your questions here I can contact them and ask them.

 

FP, Glad you asked!

The Biggest remaining Question I have is How many of the 938 SRT6 Roadsters & 2016 SRT6 Coupes are in the USA?(+12/13 2006s?)
& How many of the 75,000+ Total XFs Manufactured are in the USA & Canada?

There are an awful lot overseas, many more than we imagine, I'll bet!
(Maybe 25%, 30%, 35%, maybe even more, especially the SRT6's 'gut feeling' Plus a lot of Foreign XF Owners chiming in here!)

A breakdown of roadsters by model year would be good also.

 

FP, I'd like to see records of production runs, with serial #'s so we can determine exactly how many of each individual model was built, and when.
It would be interesting to find out how many cars were built of any one certain color.
Being able to determine how many automatics were built compared to 6 speeds would be nice.
Knowing the interior color #'s, and what exterior colors came with what color interior, etc.
If we could simply have copies of the records of everything, and what the actual codes were to decipher all those #'s, we could determine the answers to alot of questions, that have yet to be answered.
That's why I think we need an "inside man" at Karmann to work for us to collect as much info as possible. All the production information should be considered public knowledge, just attaining it is the trick.

 

Don't worry about finding someone on the forum who can sprechen Deutsch. The German engineers speak and write English better than most Americans.

 

I have to agree. That's pretty much true for most of the business world.

 

FP - Were you able to get a response from Karmann?

 

I have a very good friend who is a Chrysler design engineer, and he's the one who told me that quite often the language barrier caused alot of problems when trying to commuicate with their German counterparts.
I also have a very good friend from Germany who's the head man of purchasing at Good Year, and you're right, he speakes better english than I do.

 

Not yet.........

 

According to Wikipedia the number of crossfire made are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Crossfire



Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Production 35,700 28,000 12,500 4,805 2,000
Numbers apperently are from these two sources:

1. ^ Chrysler caught in own Crossfire?. Autoblog.com. Retrieved on March 14, 2006.
2. ^ Figures for 2006/2007: Automobil Revue, catalogue edition 2008, p. 47.

 

Were the production numbers ever discovered for the roadsters? I can't seem to find a breakdown between coupes and roadsters and even would like to know how many of each color by year. Is this info available?

 

I'm not even sure Chrysler knows. The best source of data should have been Karmin since they did the build.

 

Yeah, from my perspective, it would be nice to find out how many of the 2016 SRT-6 coupes were manufactured for the US?? I read (I think on Wikipedia that about 1000 made it to North America). Don't know how reliable this data is...

I even wish there was a way to go one step further of finding out how many '05 SRT-6 coupes in the US are still operational (I know, this is subjective)...

Considering it's been ~ 7 years since the '05 SRT-6 was built, I'm sure that not all 1000 are in good operational order. This add to the rarity of the car! :-)

 

Quite a few have been totaled in all categories.

 

what was the last VIN # that is in the forum or club? Do we have the last #????

 

I am pretty sure it is in the 76xxx range.

 

I'm pretty sure "Wilma" has the highest VIN # on the Forum.....76028



The door plate implies she was built the last week of production & only about 20 more were built.
