For those who appreciate modern muscle wrapped in executive styling, this 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 presents a rare opportunity. With only 20,400 miles on the odometer, this Bright Silver Metallic Clearcoat example has remained largely untouched, preserving its factory-original performance and luxury features. Now up for auction on BringATrailer.com, this high-performance sedan is drawing attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. Bidding closes on Saturday, March 22 at 2:30 p.m. EDT.

Big Power, Big Comfort –

Under the hood, this Chrysler 300C SRT8 packs a 6.1-liter (370 cubic-inch) HEMI® V8, an engine that was a major step up from the standard 5.7-liter HEMI found in lesser 300C models. Factory-rated at 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, this powerhouse delivers an exhilarating driving experience, launching the car from 0-60 mph in just over five seconds. The 5-speed W5A580 automatic transmission with AutoStick® manual shift capability and a limited-slip differential helps put that power to the ground efficiently.

Equipped with all-speed traction control and an electronic stability program (ESP), the 300C SRT8 maintains control under hard acceleration, ensuring that its performance remains composed, whether on a straightaway or a tight curve. The Brembo® braking system, featuring four-piston calipers and vented discs on all four wheels, provides the stopping power needed to match the car’s performance capabilities.

Designed for Performance and Luxury –

Unlike traditional muscle cars, the 300C SRT8 offers a refined, high-end driving experience without sacrificing performance. The Bright Silver Metallic Clearcoat (PS2) exterior gives the car a clean, sophisticated look while still retaining an aggressive stance, accentuated by a rear spoiler, xenon headlights with washers, and fog lights. The body sits on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, which were recently upgraded in 2025 with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, ensuring optimal grip in various driving conditions.

Inside, the Dark Slate Gray Luxury leather seats with suede inserts provide both comfort and support, especially during spirited driving. The heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats ensure a premium experience for the driver and passenger. The cabin is filled with upscale touches, including a leather-wrapped shift knob, power-adjustable pedals, dual-zone climate control, and a HomeLink system for garage door access.

The Boston Acoustics 6-speaker audio system, paired with a 6-disc CD changer and cassette stereo, offers a classic audio experience, while the white-dial 180-mph speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary gauges highlight the car’s performance-oriented nature.

Clean History & Well-Preserved Condition –

With only 20,400 miles, this Chrysler 300C SRT8 has been carefully maintained. The car has remained within the same family since new before being acquired by the seller in 2025. The Carfax report confirms a clean history, showing no accidents or damage, further validating its well-kept status.

The seller notes that the fuel tank has not been replaced per the 2014 NHTSA bulletin, though Chrysler provided a lifetime warranty on the component. Documentation includes the original owner’s manual, partial service records, and two key fobs.

A True Modern Classic –

As interest in early SRT models continues to grow, the 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 stands as a testament to Chrysler’s ability to blend muscle car performance with premium luxury. Its combination of low mileage, clean history, and stock configuration makes it a compelling choice for collectors or enthusiasts looking for an authentic SRT experience.
