Vehicle Description
This 2004 Chevrolet SSR became a classic on day one because no
other vehicle took vintage appeal, modern sleekness, and wrapped it
in a package that included a hardtop convertible with a top
operation that provides a cool show all on its own. So when you can
get a fuel-injected V8 machine that's loaded and came with a full
factory blackout, it all makes for an irresistible modern
classic.
The curves of the SSR are instantly recognizable. Chevrolet's
Advance Design pickup have grown into an icon of the post-war
American boom, and it has even shifted into a favorite for building
the best street machines. So Chevrolet celebrated that linage with
the SSR. It's a modern interpretation where the flowing fenders
were given some added sleekness. Even the classic grille design
looks like it was given 200 MPH wind-swept makeover. This retains a
touch of the classic truck style with the old-school Chevrolet
lettering up front and full step rails between the fenders. But the
staggered alloys, large dual exhaust tips, and form-fitting tonneau
cover are all about a modern sleek and speedy machine.
Black paint and tinted windows give this has a mean-as-midnight
attitude on the outside. With the flip of a few switches, the glass
powers down and the roof tucks away without a trace. You're now
open to the world with an outstanding roadster look, and we
particularly like this one, because it also never loses that
blackout style. It's a full black interior that has glossy black
inserts for the right accenting. There's even a hint of silver to
set the full package off nicely. So the appearance is just like
your favorite muscle cars today. More than just the right classic
vibes, you'll love this because it's a fully loaded modern machine.
That means dual bucket seats that are finished in leather and
independently power adjust to the ideal position. You also have
power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, keyless entry, and an
AM/FM/CD stereo system with premium Bose speakers. Plus, heated
seats and the cold-blowing air-conditioning means you can enjoy
top-down motoring no matter if it's a crisp fall evening or noon in
the summer. There's plenty of modern safety, too, with everything
from front and side airbags to anti-lock brakes. While the covered
bed is large enough to carry really big stuff, it's really just an
extremely spacious trunk ready for everyone's golf clubs.
The key to the SSR's performance is a 5.3-liter V8. This motor is
related the GM's truck line, but it also has some lightweight
performance characteristics, which seems like the perfect blend for
this pickup/roadster. There has been an upgrade to a K&N air
intake, but otherwise, this fuel-injected V8 remains largely stock
and clean. So it fires up nicely, drives well, and the four-speed
automatic transmission shifts smoothly all the way into overdrive.
Power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, a car-like
suspension, and modern performance tires make this a great
all-around driver.
Complete with the original window sticker, this is a great
instant-classic. So if you want power, luxury, and rarity, call
