Chrysler 300 (2005-2023)

When the Chrysler 300 launched for 2005, its bold styling and rear-wheel-drive layout made an immediate impact. Based on the LX platform which shared components with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, it offered a premium feel that was missing from American sedans. The V8-powered 300C was the star, but the high-performance SRT8, first with a 6.1L and later a 6.4L Hemi, established the car's performance credentials.

Collector interest is centered on the high-output models. The SRT8 variants from all years are desirable, offering a unique blend of American muscle and full-size comfort. The final 2023 300C "Last Call" edition, with its 485 horsepower 6.4L V8 and limited production run of just 2,000 units for the U.S., is the most collectible version. These final models represent the end of the line for the Hemi-powered sedan.

The market for the 300 is broad, with an average price of around $16,000 across 57 recent sales. Most transactions are for standard V6 and 5.7L V8 models, which remain affordable daily drivers. However, low-mileage SRT models and the "Last Call" 300C occupy the top of the market, with prices that can exceed $50,000 for pristine examples.

Prices range from $610 for project cars to $55,900 for top-spec, limited-edition variants.
