This 2004 Chrysler Crossfire is for sale on eBay in Pierre, South Dakota with a current bid of $3,100 and a buy-it-now price of $7,500. Someone replaced the factory installed 3.2 L M112 V6 with a 5.3 L LSx V8. The V8 features a LS2 intake, LS9 camshaft, head studs, and “other goodies”. The drivetrain features a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a Posi rear end. The coupe uses a 2002 Camaro gauge cluster and does not have air conditioning. The seller says it needs a compressor and bracket to work.

I didn’t really like the Crossfire, so I don’t really care that this one is LS swapped. I never quite understood who Crossfire was for, it was to girly to be man’s car, and to ugly to be appealing to the women.
Your comment had e snorting coffee this morning. I was always wondering too, although I liked the idea of a two-seater sports car.
Jeff Z had some good thoughts also. If this is what you want, get a nice one and an engine with a known history and go for it.
If anybody does this mod let me know so I can come get a ride in it.
I love the look and would love to own 1 with a V8 swap
You can blame the advertising for that (which I had a hand in). The presence of our favorite Canadian pop diva Céline Dion, as lovely as she was and is, polarized its appeal for sure. But I can tell you that when we rolled it out in midtown Manhattan to film the thing, it stopped traffic. People were openmouthed at its design. That should have been allowed to speak for itself.
It’s not so girly at 155.
Wow… dented door, non working a/c, and a motor with unknown mileage? You’d be better of buying a working, low mileage, stock Crossfire for $6K and just enjoying it…
It’s not just not working, it’s not even all there, and I doubt there’s even physically room for a compressor.
Someone once said, “There’s an a$$ for every seat.”
To someone out there, this Crossfire is worth more than their first born. To others, we wouldn’t even let our kids look at it.
I get it.. it’s a Mercedes/Mopar mashup, with a half a$$ed Corvette/Truck engine swap.
Someone had a blown motor in a crossfire, and a engine sitting around, and just decided to do it.
Props.
I’d be curious to drive it. See how it handles, and what it’s track times are like, compared to a C4, or a C5, just for shits and giggles, but the NO air conditioner, is a deal buster..
It’s hard to look cool, sweating to death on a road trip, and no girl wants to dig her britches out of her swamp-a$$ butt crack..
Makes taking her on a date awkward.
Would like to buy it
