Vehicle Description
We already know the Chevrolet SSR is a future classic. After all,
it has V8 power, sports car handling, and a unique retro-style
design that is impressive from the moment it come in sight. But not
all were created equal. Later examples, like this 2005 SSR came
with the Corvette's fuel-injected V8, and a rare few also took full
advantage of this power with a six-speed manual transmission. So
have you realized yet that everything making this low-mileage SSR a
standout today is also what keeps it desirable well into the
future?
If you've ever been admiring Chevy's classic Advance Design pickups
of the '40s and '50s, you instantly understand the appeal of the
SSR. After all, this retro machine mixes the legendary curvy style
with modern streamlining. Speaking of slick style, that factory
black paint has the kind of original deep luster that instantly
tells you this low-mileage vehicle has been cherished for the last
dozen years. Because this is meant to look like a true 1950s
machine, there is plenty of bright work on the grille, door
handles, and even the running boards. Plus, the bright factory
alloys that are staggered 19/20 inches front/rear for an extra
aggressive stance.
The black interior is the perfect complementing color for an
ultra-desirable double black package that came from the factory.
Averaging only about 1,400 miles annually meant there was little
time to even put a crease in the leather. Touch a button and the
trick folding hardtop disappears behind the seats, making this the
coolest open-air truck since the Model A roadster pickup of the
'30s. But while this might look retro, inside is anything but old
school truck basic - offering sculpted bucket seats, a
color-matched center console, and every feature GM could dream up.
Features include power windows, power locks, power seats, power
mirrors, cruise control, and key-less entry. Plus, with ice-cold
air conditioning and heated seats, you can stay comfortable with
the top down nearly all year round. The stereo has been upgraded to
a nicely integrated Kenwood AM/FM/CD touchscreen unit that also
houses the backup camera. Other modern safety features include
front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. While the
covered and locking bed is large enough to carry really big stuff,
it's beautifully finished with carpets and wood - so it's the most
spacious trunk around!
2005 is an ideal year in the SSR's brief life. This was when
Chevrolet added two key upgrades: the LS2 motor and a six-speed
manual transmission... and this one has them both! This
numbers-matching, fuel-injected power plant was shared with the
Corvette, and so the 390hp represented a 30% upgrade in power over
the previous year. The Tremec six-speed lets you unleash the full
fury of this high-performance 6.0-liter pickup, and so this
all-black SSR is a true midnight predator. Out on the streets, the
sports suspension with rear sway bar, four-wheel disc brakes, and
grippy Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires come together to deliver a modern
muscle machine disguised as your favorite retro truck.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, warranty
card, owner's manual, and dealer invoice. This unique and fun
machine comes with all the best features and all the right
paperwork to keep you enjoying for years to come. So while we call
it a future classic, we also know you can't resist it today. Call
now!
