Vehicle Description
2005 Chevrolet Red SSR Why This Vehicle is Special Back in the '40s
and '50s Chevrolet built what was then called Classic Advance
Design trucks. Later, Chevrolet built a new concept truck with a
retro-style design that had V8 power, sports car handling, and a
unique look that has become a classic in its own right. We have a
red 2005 Chevrolet SSR here at Skyway Classics that is very clean
and has that unique fold-down hardtop as well as chrome wheels and
fat tires and is powered by the 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 that churns out
390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Features 2005

radial tires Mechanical Our 2005 SSR has the new version of Chevy's
6.0-liter LS2 V-8 that churns out 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet
of torque. It's the same engine found under the hood of the
Corvette and the Pontiac GTO. A four-speed automatic also found in
the Corvette is the standard transmission and has been tested at
seven seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph with 0-to-100-mph time that
was even more impressive in just 14.1 seconds. It all rides on a
shortened, reinforced version of the Trailblazer EXT's hydroformed
steel perimeter frame, which is supported by a firm double A-arm
suspension up front and a 5-link rear with a solid axle. This
chassis and suspension give the SSR cornering capabilities way
beyond those of a typical pickup, turn in is quick, and front plow
mild, body roll is minimal, and feedback from the suspension and
tires first rate. Stopping the SSR are 4-wheel disc brakes with
standard ABS, which brought it down from 60 in a good average
distance of 132 feet. It all looks factory stock in a clean and
detailed engine compartment with all the correct factory components
like air conditioning, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and
chrome wheels and grippy black sidewall performance tires. Interior
The SSR's exterior is matched by a slick cockpit that's both custom
stylish and Chevy efficient. Brushed SSR trim provide a nice
contrast to the dark dash and doors, while power buckets provide
good long distance ride comfort. The main gauge cluster is super
with controls for the AM/FM/CD audio system are clear and easy to
use, as are the simple climate controls. It has sculpted bucket
seats, a color-matched center console, power windows, power locks,
power seats, power mirrors, cruise control, key-less entry,
ice-cold air conditioning, and stereo radio system. Exterior Our
SSR retro machine has a legendary curvy style with modern
streamlining covered with slick factory red paint that has the
original deep luster. Chevrolet trucks in the 1950s had a lot of
chrome and stainless and they carried over that retro theme as well
machine as there is plenty of bright work on the grille, door
handles, and the running boards with shiny chrome mag wheels alloys
for an extra aggressive stance. Super fat front fenders bulge out
from a plunging, wedge-shaped hood. While in the rear, the sporty
cargo box is flanked by even fatter fenders. But the slickest
exterior feature, and the core of the SSR's appeal, is the power
folding hardtop. Just press the switch on the center console, and
the two roof sections retract into a compact vertical storage bay.
And this transforms the SSR from a funky pickup into an open-air
custom cruis
