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 consignment is a 2005 Chevrolet SSR in Aqua Blue
Metallic with Charcoal Black leather interior. This sport roadster
checks all the boxes with a 6.0 Liter V8 power plant and 4-speed
automatic transmission. The retractable hardtop allows for open air
driving for that weekend getaway, the roadster styling, somewhat
retro, can take you there and turn heads.
Exterior
Aqua Blue Metallic covers steel formed with a 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. The rounded roofline is
reminiscent of a VW beetle, and the exterior rounded fenders harken
back to the trucks of the late 40's and early 50's. A massive cargo
cover protects any belongings stuffed into it , and lifts on a
hinged system. An automatic retractable hardtop makes its way
automatically from its space right behind the drivers 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 with a bed on its back. This is not a bad thing, as it is
very slippery in the air with nothing to impede the flow of it. Add
on some silver racing stripes and we are ready to go... to the
interior!
Interior
Charcoal Leather with brushed aluminum and a hint of the Aqua
Metallic come together to create a luxurious yet sporty interior
that emulates the rounded over 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 automatic shifter,
power window toggles, the electric top switch, and 3 analog gauges
in a brushed metal field in the front , (gauge pack option).
Flanking on each side are the comfortable power adjustable buckets
in charcoal leather, and sporting a multi functional electrical
adjustment, with two memory positions, as well as heated drivers
and passengers seat. Open headrests are framed by chromed roll
bar-esque trim that hug the headrests. Various heating and
air-conditioning controls as well as an AM/FM radio with a single
CD and heads up screen display above are seen in the dash. Very
clean black carpet with red edge stitching and SSR embroidery lines
the bed, and pure black carpeting floods the floors.
Drivetrain
6.0 Liters in a V8 OHV format pump out a whopping 390hp. This
Corvette mill is fed by electronic fuel injection, and is backed by
a 4L65E 4 speed automatic transmission and a 14 bolt 3.73 geared
limited slip rear axle.
Undercarriage
Underneath we see a peppering of surface rust on the usual
suspects, but nothing remarkable as to the structural integrity of
this factory built retro-mod. Body hangers are sturdy and chromed
ribbing is underneath on them. Independent coil springs up front
and a 4 link with coil springs make up the rear suspension. 4 wheel
power disc brakes are on as well.
Drive-Ability
This car/truck roared to life and after a nice warmup, took us to
our test area where it passed all the challenges. Good
acceleration, handling, and a smooth car ride. Also a smooth
shifting transmission and all working functions can also be said to
be true.
A retro roadster with a bed if you will, all tricked out with
modern conveniences and power plant, 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 it as a modern day
interpretation of a sedan delivery ...but in record time! All
rounded and retro ready for the ride of your life. Now is the time
to have some fun.
