For Sale: 2005 Chevrolet SSR in Ft Worth, Texas

If you're looking for a great-looking, fun, fast, and uncommon vehicle that also happens to be debatably practical, take a look at this 2005 Chevrolet SSR Supercharged. Decked out in this trick black-and-silver two-tone paint with a red pinstripe in between, this muscle truck has just 53,592 actual miles on its odometer. Add the SSR's retractable hardtop, and you have a vehicle that will turn heads wherever it goes.

Inside, we find a host of modern amenities that old-school hot rods can only dream of. A stock factory black leather interior featuring dual power leather-heated seats, power windows, locks, and mirrors, along with an AM/FM/CD head unit and changer, creates a warm, comfortable cabin, with or without the wind blowing through your hair. A power bed cover release, air conditioning, cruise control, and a center console highlighted by a three-pod auxiliary gauge cluster all make road trips of any distance overwhelmingly enjoyable.

For 2005, the SSR got a big upgrade under that trick wedge-shaped hood. Gone is the 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 from earlier years, and in its place we find a Corvette-derived 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 engine. Thanks to a lightweight aluminum block and heads, flat-top pistons, and a healthy 10.9:1 compression ratio, this LS2 was capable of pumping out an impressive 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line two decades ago. Now, add to that a Roots-style blower to that potent small-block, and you have a modern hot rod that is capable of keeping up with any big block from the Golden Age of muscle cars. Those ponies are routed through a heavy-duty 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the ten-bolt rear end, which transmits power to the pavement via a set of big 20-inch polished five-spoke wheels shod in massive 295/40R-20 rubber. At the same time, a smaller set of 19-inch wheels wrapped in 255/45R-19 tires give this throwback pickup the perfect staggered hot rod stance.

Despite having a curb weight about a keg and a half short of 5,000 pounds, this 2005 Chevrolet SSR Supercharged could run from 0-60 mph in a scant 5.5 seconds. And thanks to its body-color rear tonneau-covered bed, those kegs, or just about anything else, can fit nicely in back. While produced for only four model years, the Chevy SSR cast a brief but shining light on the autoverse, offering an incredibly unique, retro-modern muscle truck that proved "hauling" could mean more than one thing. If you want to feel what it's like to sit behind the wheel of a supercharged V-8-powered droptop truck, then don't wait another second. Call today!
