Vehicle Description
2003 Chevrolet Red SSR Why This Vehicle is Special Back in the '40s
and '50s Chevrolet built what was then called Classic Advance
Design trucks. Later, like the 2003 Chevrolet SSR we have here at
Skyway Classics, Chevrolet built a new concept truck with a
retro-style design that has V8 power, sports car handling, and a
unique look that has become a classic in its own right. Mechanical

Mechanical Our 2003 SSR has the new version of Chevy�€�s 5.3-liter
small-block V8. This all-aluminum pushrod, GM�€�s first all alloy
truck V-8, pumps out 300 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque to
the rear wheels, by way of a 4-speed automatic transmission. It all
rides on a shortened, reinforced version of the Trailblazer EXT�€�s
hydroformed steel perimeter frame, which is supported by a firm
double A-arm suspension up front and a 5-link rear with a solid
axle. This chassis and suspension give the SSR cornering
capabilities way beyond those of a typical pickup, turn in is
quick, and front plow mild, body roll is minimal, and feedback from
the suspension and tires first rate. Stopping the SSR are 4-wheel
disc brakes with standard ABS, which brought it down from 60 in a
good average distance of 132 feet. It all looks factory stock with
the addition of a K&N Performance air cleaner system, in a
clean and detailed engine compartment with all the correct factory
components like air conditioning, power steering, four-wheel disc
brakes, and factory alloy wheels and grippy black wall performance
radial tires. Interior The SSR�€�s exterior is matched by a slick
cockpit that�€�s both custom stylish and Chevy efficient. Brushed
red body color trim provide a nice contrast to the dark dash and
doors, while twin well-padded leather clad power buckets provide
good long distance ride comfort. The main gauge cluster is super
with auxiliary gauges are tucked low on the dash. Controls for the
AM/FM/CD audio system are clear and easy to use, as are the simple
climate controls. It has sculpted bucket seats, a color-matched
center console, power windows, power locks, power seats, power
mirrors, cruise control, key-less entry, SSR floor mats, ice-cold
air conditioning, and stereo radio system. Exterior Our SSR retro
machine has a legendary curvy style with modern streamlining
covered with slick factory red paint that has the original deep
luster. Chevrolet trucks in the 1950s had a lot of chrome and
stainless and they carried over that retro theme as well machine as
there is plenty of bright work on the grille, door handles, and the
running boards with shiny chrome factory mag wheels alloys for an
extra aggressive stance. Super fat front fenders bulge out from a
plunging, wedge-shaped hood. While in the rear, the sporty cargo
box is flanked by even fatter fenders. But the slickest exterior
feature, and the core of the SSR�€�s appeal, is the power folding
hardtop. Just press the switch on the center console, and the two
roof sections retract into a compact vertical storage bay. And this
transforms the SSR from a funky pickup into an open air custom
cruiser. Conclusion Our 2003 Chevrolet SSR that we have here at
