Vehicle Description
2005 Chevrolet SSR The Chevrolet SSR (Super Sport Roadster) was
produced in model years 2004-2006. Introduced as a retractable
hardtop convertible pickup truck. Initially produced with a 5.3
Liter 300hp Vortec 5300 V8, the 2005 model had a larger 6.0 Liter
LS2 Corvette engine producing 390hp. A Tremec six-speed was
available for the first time in 2005-06 model years.
Offered for sale is a 2005 Chevrolet SSR in Redline Red with Ebony
leather interior. This Sport Roadster checks all the boxes with 6.0
Liter power plant and six-speed Tremec gear box. The SSR has just
been Pennsylvania State inspection and needs nothing. The odometer
reads 76,716 miles and it is ready to go anywhere. A great
opportunity to own a rare, unique and collectible truck with car
like manners.
Exterior
Redline Red with barely a mark on it, has 2 white stripes
stretching from bow (tie!) to stern. Design from an earlier era
with a modern twist, shows a bulbous nose with streamlined inserted
headlights, flared fenders, a short running board, and a shaved
rear gate area. A massive cargo cover protects any cargo, and lifts
on a hinged system. An automatic retractable hardtop makes its way
automatically from its space right behind the driver's cockpit and
raises and lowers in a flash. Taking a gander at this truck, if you
are at the correct angle, you may think you are looking at a new VW
Beetle. This is not a bad thing, as it is very slippery in the air
with nothing to impede the flow of it.
Interior
Ebony leather with brushed aluminum and a hint of the Redline Red,
come together to create a luxurious yet sporty interior, that
emulates the exterior design of the vehicle. Even the door panels,
and handle mechanisms look much like the front of the truck. The
center console is home to the six-speed manual shifter, power
window toggles, the electric top switch, and 3 analog gauges in a
red metal field in the front. Flanking on each side are the
comfortable buckets, in Ebony leather, and sporting a
multi-functional electronic adjustment, with two memory positions,
as well as heated drivers and passengers' seat. Open headrests are
framed by chromed roll bar-esque tubes, that hug the headrests.
Various heating and air-conditioning controls as well as an AM/FM
radio with a multi disc CD changer are seen in the dash. Very clean
black carpet lines the bed and is broken up by wood slats running
the length of the bed.
Drivetrain
6.0 Liters in a V8 OHV format pump out a whopping 390hp. The Tremec
6 speed manual, shifts smoothly through the gears, as you climb in
speed. Double wishbone independent suspension in the front, and a
solid live axle allow this truck to ride like a car. Also seen in a
very clean underneath environment is a limited slip differential,
and vented disc brakes with ABS all around.
A retro roadster with a bed if you will, all tricked out with
modern conveniences and powerplant, along with a super smooth
drivetrain setup, will allow you to hit the road immediately after
driving it away from Classic Auto Mall. Think of out as a
modern-day interpretation of a sedan delivery ...but in record
time!
