Looking for something special?
In the tradition of classic special edition Chrysler 300s, Chrysler will build a limited run of its new 2002 300M Special starting November 5. A total of 8,500 Chrysler 300M Specials will be built, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $32,595, which includes $655 for destination.

"In 1960, we introduced a limited run of 300F Specials built off of our 300F letter series car," said Tom Marinelli, Vice President, Chrysler/Jeep® Global Brand Center. "We're continuing our proud heritage with the introduction of our 2002 Chrysler 300M Special. For just over $32,000, you can have that something special in your garage."

Similar to European "tuners," Chrysler 300M Special features ground effects that surround the vehicle's lower body while ride height is lowered one-half inch. The car has a more assertive stance and even lower aerodynamic drag than the stock Chrysler 300M.

Chrysler 300M Special's aerodynamic refinements are complemented with large 18-inch wheels and P245/45ZR18 uni-directional Michelin Pilot performance tires which improve handling. Additional features include a unique, higher performance brake system, a performance-tuned suspension, firm strut damping, tall rear jounce bumpers, and 17:1 ratio firm-feel steering gear which enhances on-center response characteristics.
