I agree with your general comments about how much the 300C is closer to an S class than most people realize...I have an 05 300C hemi with very low mileage in dark lava red pearl coat, 1 elderly previous owner so I have a great base to build on...my plan is to de chrome everything and just add a few modern upgrades,one being the radio and headlights,could you share the the brand name etc.and can't wait for the next installment of the 300 build.
I’ve been cross shopping older Mercedes sedans for awhile & realized how OP the 300c was, it was kind of mind blowing for the time. As far as the radio there’s a few different options, they sell the bezel trim separately also. But with the Radios you can do more memory & etc. but here’s a baseline on the products to get started.

Thanks for the info.I've owned the car for over 2 yrs. and put on 2 thousand miles and have been thinking what I would like to change ( not much ) and a few upgrades ( not much there either ) but your making me look at what I can do without ruining something that works pretty well...by the way this is my 4th.300C I had an 06 09 11 all new and enjoyed them all but this 05 was too good to let someone try to update without a plan, my play toy! lowering it and new 20" rims scheduled this winter when it changes into a garage queen.
No way! I’ve got the same Year and colour! I’m looking to keep mine relatively stock though. I’ve got a Mid-muffler (suitcase) delete that I highly recommend, I’m gonna do some window tinting (nothing that crazy) and I was thinking of dropping it an inch. Personally I think the stock radio/speaker system is already perfect. An Am/Fm transmitter in the centre console can take the place of Bluetooth. Saves some cash too! I’m nearly at 200K miles believe it or not!
Oh see, now you just rubbing it in from your last video. Knowing how bad I want one of these lol. I just think they look incredible, they ride like a dream, atleast the ones I were in. I could care less if it had a 4cyl or Hemi 8. But would love one with the hemi in it. Once my house sells I WILL be looking for one. But so broke right now I can't even get a truck to get my business going again. But once i get one I will hit you up on recommended upgrades etc. As for the Mercedes/300 comparison.. you couldn't pay me to own a Ferrari, BMW Audi or Mercedes.
Lol my last video just inspired me for this one. They are pretty cool, they were kind of iconic when they came out also mopar sedans going to rwd was a big move. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up as a modern classic. Lol they are as Mercedes as you can get while avoiding almost all the Mercedes issues, it’s wild. But they do drive & ride great, you won’t regret it when you get one.
I can't wait to see this one get finished. Great video Aaron.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I’m really looking forward to this one myself as well.
I never thought of it like that
