The 2005 Chrysler 300C Hemi is a notable full-size sedan that stands out with its 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine, delivering 340 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. This sedan combines modern luxury with a touch of classic American design, featuring distinctive angular styling, a prominent front grille, and a spacious and comfortable interior.
What makes this particular 2005 Chrysler 300C Hemi truly unique is its conversion into a convertible. Chrysler commissioned a California design studio to explore the concept of a 4-door, 5-seat powered convertible sedan reminiscent of the 1960s classics. The result was this 300 Cabriolet Hemi, which was showcased at the L.A. Auto Show and the New York City Auto Show. This specific convertible was chosen as the sample vehicle to tour the Northeast and visit Chrysler stores, hence its remarkably low mileage and impeccable condition as it has never been exposed to rain.
While the vehicle retains its stock features, it notably sports a Mercedes-Benz-derived fabric convertible top and a custom-fabricated rear air wing with an integrated Mercedes 3rd brake light. Substantial structural bracing has been added throughout the undercarriage, adding 891 pounds to the original GVWR.
Approximately 200 examples of this convertible were created by the California design studio, with only three known to exist east of the Mississippi River. The original owner, who resides locally, can be contacted through the dealership for further inquiries regarding this exceptional and rare 2005 Chrysler 300C Hemi convertible.
