Vehicle Description
2004 Chevrolet SSR
The Chevrolet SSR, (Super Sport Roadster), was produced in model
years 2004-2006. Introduced as a retractable hardtop convertible
pickup truck and 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 2004 Chevrolet SSR in Redline Red with
ebony leather interior. This Sport Roadster checks all the boxes
with a 5.3 liter power plant and 4-speed automatic transmission.
The odometer reads 29,375 verified actual miles and is ready to go
anywhere. A great opportunity to own a rare, unique and collectible
truck with car like manners.
Exterior
Factory applied Redline Red, with a few scratches and scuffs looks
just splendid with its miles deep smooth finish. 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. 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
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. This is not a bad thing, as it is
very slippery in the air with nothing to impede the flow of it. 19
and 20-inch wheels are on the corners, all neatly shod in staggered
width high performance blackwall rubber and based on the 2004 date
code could very well be the factory installed tires.
Interior
Ebony leather with brushed aluminum and a hint of the Redline Red
comes 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 automatic shifter, power window
toggles, the electric top switch, and looks nearly perfect with its
padded ebony armrest in a field of Redline for the console topper.
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 driver and passenger seats.
Open headrests are framed by chromed roll bar-esque trim that hug
the headrests. Various heating and air-conditioning controls as
well as the factory AM/FM/CD Changer unit are seen in the dash.
Very clean black carpet lines the bed and also floods the passenger
compartment floors.
Drivetrain
5.3 liters in LS V8 format pumps out a whopping 300hp. This big
power mill is fed by electronic fuel injection and is backed by a
4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a 10 bolt 3.73 rear with
Positraction.
Undercarriage
Underneath we see a peppering of surface rust on the usual
suspects, but nothing remarkable as to the structural integrity of
this retro-mod. Body hangers are sturdy and we note a slight
covering of factory paint overspray on the flooring. Independent
coil springs up front and a 5 link with coil springs make up the
rear suspension. 4-wheel power disc brakes are on as well. Noted is
a factory single exhaust which makes this vehicle roar.
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 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!
